Folding: We recommend that the canopy be packed by folding cell to cell
in order to lay the mylar reinforcements of the leading edge flat and in
top of each other. Do not pack the canopy very tightly.
Maintenance advice: The life of the canopy can vary considerably
depending upon the care that you take with it's use and maintenance.
Other than ultra violet rays the principal causes of wear are transport
and storage.
- Avoid violent shocks to the upper surface ( eg. when the canopy falls
to the ground whilst groundhandling) or any rubbing against the
ground as this wears the stitching and the coating.
- Do not leave the canopy folded for several days if it is ether damp or
tightly packed.
- Immediately remove any salt or sand that enters the cells, as this
enters the stitches and causes wear during each successive folding.
- Only clean the canopy with soft water and a neutral soap. Allow the
canopy to dry in a place that is dry and airy but not in direct sunlight.
- 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.
R E P A 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 stitching
and cut of the suspension lines are made under precise tensions; do not
replace damaged suspension lines exept 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.
the BI BETA requires no modification or
