UP-KEEP, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRSWarning:A good maintenance will extend the life of youryears to come.Storage:SOL ELLUS 2 for manyThe paraglider must be stored dry, in a dry place, protected from UV lightand away from chemical products.Cleaning:Cleaning must be performed only when it is absolutely necessary. Werecommend the use of water only with a smooth sponge or cloth.Do not use any chemical product, since it will damage the materialpermanently.Folding:By following each step properly, you will be helping to preserve the lifespan of your equipment:Repairs:Steps:1. Open the canopy completely;2.3.4.Packing the glider “accordionwise” as show in the figures;Place each profile reinforcementover the corresponding cell;Bring together the two partsand roll the canopy up withoutcompressing too strongly.Repairs must be performed only by the manufacturer, distributor orauthorized personnel.Deterioration Recommendations for a long life:Warning:Open the canopy completely on the ground;Place all the lines spread by the inner layer and risers in the middleoutside the canopy on the trailing edge;We recommend folding your paraglider like an accordion. This will keepthe profile reinforcements (Mylar/Carbon) from being crumpled and/orfolded. By using this folding method, the paraglider will keep its takeoffand flight characteristics for longer; Keep folding to approximately 50 cmRemove all the air by sliding your hand from the trailing edge to theleading edge;Make sure the volume is a little smaller than the protection bag;Avoid multiple folds at the same place.64The SOL ELLUS 2 fabric is made mainly out of Nylon, which like anyother synthetic material is sensitive to UV light radiation, causing it todecompose, losing its mechanical resistance, and thus increasing itsporosity. For this reason, the unnecessary exposure to sun light, whichcarries a high UV radiation level in high altitudes must be avoided;65
