Repairs; Guarantee - Advance EPSILON 3 Série Manuel D'utilisation

• Following a crash or violent landing on the leading edge, always have the canopy
checked by your sales agent. The canopy should be checked in a similar fashion if you
note a deterioration of performance or behaviour.
• Avoid moving your glider too quickly from a cold to a warm location without giving it
some air - water can condense on the glider as a result.
• Allow us to conduct a general check annually (as per AFNOR).
Longevity:
The longevity of your glider can be increased through proper maintenance. We suggest you
abide by the legal maintenance requirements or at least perform an annual check. Have your
glider checked regularly by an ADVANCE authorised service agent. Either way we suggest you
have your glider checked prior to on-selling it. This way you save any problems which may arise.
R E PA I R S
Your canopy is an aeronautic device and for obvious safety reasons we advise you not to
undertake your own repairs. The various stitches and cut of the suspension lines are made
under precise tensions; do not replace damaged suspension lines except with identical ones
supplied by ADVANCE. Your sales agent will be able to repair damages that do not necessitate
the replacement of panels. He will be able to advise you how to have larger repairs carried out.
