Repairs
As a general rule you should not attempt to repair a paraglider your-
self. The various seams and lines are made with great precision, and,
for this reason, only the manufacturer or an authorised service centre
may fit identical replacement parts or replace entire cells. Exceptions
to this rule are the replacement of lines and the repair of small tears
(up to 5 cm) or holes in the fabric that may be glued with the self-ad-
hesive ripstop included in the repair kit. After a repair or the replace-
ment of a line, the glider must always be opened out and checked on
the ground before the next flight.
Disposal
Environmental protection plays an important role in the selection of
materials and the manufacture of an ADVANCE product. We use only
non-toxic materials that are subjected to continuous quality and envi-
ronmental impact assessments. When your paraglider reaches the
end of its useful life in a number of years' time, please remove all
metal parts and dispose of the lines, canopy and risers in a waste
incineration plant.
