Maintenance

With proper maintenance, your skywalk CAYENNE4 will remain in airworthy condition
for several years. A well cared for paraglider lasts a lot longer than one which is packed
in a bag without care after flying. Always remember: Your life depends upon the condi-
tion of your paraglider! Please read the Tips and Tricks for Cloth Handling.
Storage:
Store your paraglider in a dry location, protected from light and away from chemicals!
Dampness is a natural enemy for any paraglider. Therefore always make sure your pa-
ragliding equipment is dry before packing it away. Dry if necessary in a heated room.

cleaning:
Rubbing and cleaning leads to faster deterioration of your paraglider. The Pu-coated
cloth of the skywalk CAYENNE4 is maximally soil-resistant. if you still think that your pa-
raglider needs to be cleaned, then use a soft and wet towel or sponge. Don't use any
soap or detergents. Avoid solvents at all times.
repair:
All repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer or by an authorised skywalk-Serv-
ice-Centre. Amateur repairs can cause more harm than good.

diSpOSal

skywalk places high value on the environmental compatibility and quality control of our
materials. if your glider should reach the point where it is no longer airworthy, please
remove the metal parts. All other parts such as lines, cloth and risers can be brought
to a waste disposal center. The metal parts can be brought to metal recycling.
if you wish, you can send your glider on to us, and we will dispose of it in a responsible
Manner.
Wear:
The skywalk CAYENNE4 mainly consists of Nylon fabric that loses strength and shows an in-
crease in porosity under the influence of uV-radiation. unpack the paraglider shortly before
launch and pack away immediately after landing to avoid any unnecessary uV exposure.
line-repairS:
The main suspension lines of the skywalk CAYENNE4 consist of a Dyneema core with
polyester cover, or of uncovered Technora lines. Avoid overloading the lines, since pro-
nounced overstretching is irreversible. Repeated kinking of the lines at the same spot
reduces strength. Any visible damage to a line, even if it is only to the line cover, re-
quires a new line replacement. A new line must be ordered from the manufacturer or
from an authorized skywalk- maintenance and repair facility. Your dealer or flight school
can help you to replace the defective line. Before you replace the line, check the cor-
rect length by comparing the line with the same line from the other wing half. After re-
placing the line, a line control must follow. The best way to do this is to spread the
wing on the ground.
