24The manipulation of the paraglider during ground takeoff, or a lot of wind speed upthe aging process of your equipment.After a tree or water landing, the lines must be checked andtested.In case of salt-water contact, the paraglider must be soakedand washed with fresh water. Salt water might decrease thelines' resistance even if soaked with fresh water. The linesmust be changed after contact with salt water.Never dry the paraglider directly under the sun. This mustbe done in a shaded area. After drying send the paragliderfor inspection to the manufacturer or distributor.A Line Plan can be found in this manual or can be obtainedwith the manufacturer or distributor.After an accident or long time without using the paraglider must be checked.It is recommended that the canopy should not folded in the same symmetric positionin relation to the center, this way the center cell will not be always exposed, t<strong>here</strong>forekeeping the central cell from fatigue overtime.Avoid storing the glider near fire and/or sharp objects. Any contact with acids shouldbe avoided. In case of any doubts ask your distributor.WarningYour KUAT was designed, tested and certified to perform the best. Anyalteration of your paraglider will nullify your certification and jeopardizeyour safety. For these reasons we strongly recommend you to avoid altering anythingon your paraglider.
25Inspection and repairsThe first inspection check is mandatory completing 24 months or 100 flights,whichever comes first. After the first inspection any wing has to be checked yearly orat each 100 flights, whichever comes first.In any of these inspections may occur that a shorter period of time for the nextinspection will be defined (f. ex. 6 months or 50 flights).In case of excessive use (permanent spirals and other extreme maneuvers) the periodof inspection has to be shorter.It is of utmost importance to follow these guidelines. Without performing themandatory inspections, the paraglider loses its certification and the respective SOLwarranty becomes null and void.Always check your equipment after an incident or in case the canopy has been storedfor a long time.Repairs must be performed only by the manufacturer, distributor or authorizedpersonnel. Minor repairs could be handled by yourself, although we recommend thatrepairs should be performed by the manufacturer or authorized personnel. They havethe necessary materials and tools to maintain your glider. Replace materials only withthe originals. Using any other the glider will lose his certification.TearsAlong with your kit you get small adhesives for repair. Small tears up to 10 cm awayfrom the line points may be fixed by you. Beyond that we advise you the maintenancebe made by the manufacturer or by the registered workshop.• Clean the spot w<strong>here</strong> the adhesive will be applied with a humid cloth.• It must be at least 2,5 cm more of the adhesive than the tear.• Make the edges rounded to avoid to unglue after is glue.• Apply on both sides of the tear.Line breakageAlong with your kit you get a 1.1 thickness line to make a little repair. When you repairwe advise you to sew the unsowed point after you check the measure. Do not knotbecause it may diminish up to 80 % of the line resistance.SealingAlong with your kit you get sealing for the carabineers. Do not leave your riserswithout them because they avoid the movement of the screw nut making it impossibletheir opening.
