Cleaning
If you do have to clean the glider, use only lukewarm fresh water and a soft sponge. Use a
weak soap solution for stubborn stains, and then rinse it out carefully and thoroughly. Leave the
glider to dry in a place which is well-ventilated and in the shade.
Do not under any circumstances use chemicals, brushes, rough cloths, high-pressure cleaners
or steamers to clean the glider, as these can damage the fabric coating and weaken it. The glider
becomes porous and loses braking strength.
Do not under any circumstances put the glider in the washing machine. Even if washing powder
is not used, the glider would be badly damaged by the mechanical action of the machine. Do not
put the canopy into a swimming pool - chlorine will damage the fabric. If you have no choice but
to rinse the glider, e.g. following a landing in the sea, gently wash it down inside and out with
fresh water. Frequent rinsing accelerates the aging process.
Maintenance
Type designation
GIN gliders have an exact identification on the underside of the wingtip or on the centre rib,
which is obligatory for all paramotor gliders. The information required is set out in the
airworthiness requirements.
It is helpful to provide the type designation of the paramotor glider if you are contacting your
Gin Gliders dealer with any queries or ordering replacement parts or accessories, to ensure
accurate identification.
Inspection periods
Failure to observe the inspection periods shall render invalid the certification and warranty. A
properly completed logbook with details of all flying and training will help you to comply with
these periods.
A qualified professional should perform a formal maintenance inspection no later than 36
months after the first flight or after 150 hours, whichever is sooner. Subsequent inspections
