    UP paraglider and information about the latest developments at UP at any time. However, we can only do this if your glider is registered with us after purchase. The product registration also ensures that you will receive preferential treatment in all service matters in the event that, contrary to expectations, any irregularities should occur.

  • Page 6: Behavior Compatible With Nature And The Landscape

    UP International to meet the special requirements of a safe basic paraglider with excellent launch characteristics and a remarkable performance spectrum. All materials used, like all UP products, have a high quality standard. To ensure a long service life, they are carefully selected and subjected to extensive testing before use.

  • Page 7: Requirements In Case Of Malfunctions

    Experienced pilots should assess for themselves how they prefer to travel, with a buffer to the top or preferring a high load. Pilots who prefer a high wing loading should fly the UP Mana in the upper weight range.

  • Page 10: Front Section Support

    Front Section Support The Front Section Support, FSS, developed by UP and meanwhile copied by numerous companies, is used in a modified form in the Mana . Instead of the nose reinforcements (Mylars), a flexible plastic rod is used in the nose radius. These plastic rods have virtually no aging tendency, unlike conventional Mylar.

    The UP Mana comes with FlexBag, compression strap and repair material. The Mana2 manual is available as download on the UP homepage. Every UP is subjected to a precise routine test at the factory and is checked for its construction conformity with...

  • Page 12: Before The First Flight

    If you have questions about body size and the harness in connection with the brake settings, these must always be clarified before a change is made. Please contact a UP dealer or UP International directly for personal advice.

  • Page 13: Acceleration System

    The lower the suspension point of the harness, the easier it is to control the UP Mana by shifting your weight. The harness should ensure that you can accelerate the UP Mana to maximum speed via the speed system pulleys (both Riley pulleys of the riser lie on top of each other).

  • Page 14: Rescue Parachute

    Flight practice Preflight check A thorough pre-flight check is required for every aircraft, including the UP Mana Please make sure that you perform each check with the same care. The start check (five-point check) is necessary before every start. In order not to forget...

  • Page 15: The Start Phases

    The paraglider should be laid out in an arc so that when it is pulled up with the center A-risers (red), the lines in the center of the glider are tensioned slightly earlier than those at the wing ends. This ensures an easy and directionally stable launch.

  • Page 16: Speed Control

    If the speed is increased to the maximum via the leg extension, you can fly faster out of downwind zones, achieve a better glide angle in headwinds or still arrive against the wind. The range of action of the UP Mana increases considerably when fully accelerated and noticeably increases the flyable performance potential.

  • Page 17: The Landing

    The optimum pulling point for the towing rope should be as close as possible to the system's center of gravity. With a paraglider the ideal towing point is at the height of the riser attachments, or directly on the risers. UP International offers special pawl...

  • Page 18: Flight Safety

    It is therefore all the more important to master the paraglider, to have a feeling for the controls and to recognize natural processes. Today, the pilot has a wide range of different types of UP canopies at his disposal. The main difference within the individual classes lies in the aerodynamic stability of the canopies.

  • Page 19: Descent Aids

    In this case, the brake must be released immediately so that the glider can pick up speed again. The bank angle and sink rate are controlled by pulling or releasing the inner brake line in a controlled manner. The brake of the outer wing can also be used to stabilize the canopy at very high sink rates.

  • Page 20: Putting On Ears

    If you release the B-risers at the same time, quickly and without using the brakes, the paraglider picks up speed again independently and goes into stationary gliding flight. It is normal for the canopy to pitch about 30-50 degrees in front of the pilot. The glider...

  • Page 21: Folding The Screen

    During the extensive test phase of the Mana , our test pilots could not detect any tendency to hang up. However, if a tangle should occur, the glider must be prevented from turning away IMMEDIATELY, or the rotation must be slowed down. Afterwards you can try to free the tangled wing end by pulling on the specially marked stabilizer line (fluored).

  • Page 22: Front Rattle

    Front rattle A negative angle of attack due to turbulence or the pilot pulling down the A-risers on both sides causes a frontal stall of the leading edge. The UP Mana normally terminates a front stall quickly and independently. Short, steady, light symmetrical braking on both sides can assist the reopening.

  • Page 23: Spin

    An impulsive, large-scale collapse of the canopy is possible. CAUTION! Reaching the minimum speed is indicated by a noticeable decrease of the driving noise and an increase of the control forces. Up to this point, the glider can be started by simply releasing the brakes.

  • Page 24: Advertising And Adhesive Sail

    Extreme flight maneuvers such as steep spirals as well as acro and freestyle maneuvers such as SAT or tumbling do not normally pose an acute danger to the structure of the UP Mana . However, frequent material overloads accelerate the aging process considerably.

  • Page 25: Care And Cleaning

    You can either fold the canopy from the outside to the center of the canopy, roll it up from the outside or fold it cell to cell in the classic way. With the classic cell-on-cell packing method, we recommend that you do not fold the canopy in the middle afterwards, but rather fold the entire right folded bundle downwards so that all cells point to one side.

  • Page 27: Paraglider Cloth

    If the paraglider has become damp or wet, it should be dried as quickly as possible in a well-ventilated place (but never in the sun!). If it remains wrapped up damp, this can lead to the formation of mold and - especially in heat - to a decomposition of the fibers! A brand new glider is often heavily compressed upon delivery.

  • Page 28: Storage And Transport

    The UP quick pack bag is also suitable for this purpose. Also make sure that no animals, such as mice or cats, use the glider as a sleeping place during longer storage. No chemical substances such as fuel should be stored in the immediate vicinity of the material.

  • Page 29: Inspection And Repairs

    Maintenance and minor repairs Adhesive sail Small damages like cracks or small holes up to a size of 2 x 2 cm, which can be done without special equipment, may be done by the pilot himself. For this purpose, each glider is supplied with an appropriate adhesive sail.
