Transportation And Storage; In Closing - A Few Words On Your Safety - Aeros Combat-GT Owner's Service Manual

Figure 44 Figure 45
As the folding clip is closed, the sail should become tight without obvious wrinkles. The clip should not be difficult to
close.
For adjustable tip lever batten:
- It has to be adjusted so, that there is a little slack in the tip area of the sail with VG on. Do not over tighten
this batten.
NOTE
Excess batten tension (especially the adjustable tip lever batten) will worsen the handling.
NOTE
Batten tension has to be checked and adjusted with VG full on only.

17. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

With good care and correct maintenance your hang glider will retain its good conditions for many years.
We recommend that you do not expose your glider to any more direct sunlight than necessary. Do not leave under
the sun for long periods of time when you are not flying.
Do not leave your glider for a long period of time against strong wind. It will decrease the life of the sail.
The glider may be transported in its bag in any vehicle that offers protection from mechanical damage, soiling and
long exposure to rain. During transportation, or when stored on supports, the wing must be supported not less then in
three points: at its centre and at two more points.
Supports should be softly padded, and any support systems used for transport, such as roof racks, must
use attachment straps that are sufficiently secure to eliminate the possibility of damage from vibration
and movement. Flat straps should be used for tie downs to avoid damage to leading edge Mylar.
Store the glider in a dry room off the ground; air the out regularly to avoid mildew, and never store wet.
If you fly at the costal area or your glider has been exposed to salt water rinse it with tap water thoroughly before
storage. If you fly frequently at the costal area it is necessary to wash the glider with tap water at least once a month
to prevent all aluminium parts from corrosion.
The recommended storage temperature is from +5 to +25° C.

18. IN CLOSING - A FEW WORDS ON YOUR SAFETY

Hang gliding is an active air sport with associated risks. Your safety can be greatly enhanced by following a few
simple rules:
Your glider is delivered to you ready to fly. Do not make any adjustments, which are not described in this manual.
If you are in doubt about any aspect of your glider, you should consult your dealer or Aeros for advice.
