Gradient Avax XC2 User Manual page 13

• When preparing the paraglider for launch or when ground handling, be sure
not to step on any of the lines or the canopy tissue.
• Don't tie any unnecessary knots in the lines. A packing method where special
knots are made in the lines as used on parachutes and reserve parachutes is
not suitable for packing the lines used on paragliders.
• Protect your canopy and lines from unnecessary exposure to sunlight. UV-rays
can damage many parts of a paraglider.
• Try not to pack your glider when wet! If there's no other way then dry it as
soon as possible but away from direct sunlight.
• Don't let your glider come into contact with sea water. If it does, rinse (the lines,
canopy and risers) with fresh water and dry before storing.
• After flight or when storing, always use the inner protection sack.
• When storing or during transport make sure
temperatures higher than 50 degrees Celsius.
• Never let the glider come into contact with chemicals. Clean the paraglider with
clean lukewarm water only.
• For long-term storage don't pack the glider too tightly and store it in a cold, dry
and well-ventilated room.
• After tree- or water landings always examine the glider carefully. If you suspect
that the flight features of your paraglider have changed, contact the nearest
authorised GRADIENT supplier as soon as possible.
• Durability of aramid uncovered lines is maximal 200 flying hours. After 200
flying hours all lines (excepting brake lines) must be replaced ! ! !
• After 200 flying hours or after 2 year at the latest your Avax XC2 must be
thoroughly checked and tested by the manufacturer or authorised GRADIENT
representative.
