6.2.
Store your paraglider away from UV-exposure in a dry, not
overheated place. Never leave a canopy wet for a long time – it
will shorten fabric and lines lifetime.
6.3.
Clean the canopy only with a fresh not hot water. Do not use
chemicals. Birds droppings should be removed and the spot
should be carefully rinsed in a fresh water and dried.
6.4.
Repairs must be made only by the manufacturer, distributor or
authorized workshop.
6.5.
UV-exposure can seriously decrease the strength of fabric. When
not flying – always try to prevent your canopy from the sun rays.
Put a canopy into bag when you have break in flights.
Remember that clouds are not an absolute obstacle for UV-
exposure.
For Vitamin we use a silicone coating fabric. It is much more
resistible to abrasion than other types of fabric. But instead of
that try to minimize rubbing of your canopy with the ground.
Always rinse the glider in a fresh water (outside and inside of
the canopy) after contact with a salt water. Crystal salt weaken
lines and fabric strength. While it's possible to rinse fabric but
it's quite difficult to rinse lines in full. So we recommend to
change all lines after being in salt water.
