Keep an eye on the tension of the control line all the time – reduced tension signalises an overload of the glider and danger of falling into a negative spin. Recovery: The BiGolden3 recovers from a spiral automatically as soon as the brakes are released.

  • Page 10: Maintenance And Storage

    After flight or when storing, always use the inner protection sack. When storing or during transport make sure your glider isn’t exposed to temperatures higher than 50 degrees Celsius.

    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. After 200 flying hours or after two years at the latest your BiGolden3 must be thoroughly checked and tested by the manufacturer or an authorised Gradient service centre.
