TEARS
For major tears in the canopy material, we recommend you consult your North Dealer or North
Service Centre.
For minor tears in the canopy material, you may repair the tear temporarily with a Canopy Repair
Patch supplied in the Wing Repair Kit as follows:
1.
Clean and dry the wing with fresh water in the area requiring repair. Do NOT use acetone,
thinner, or other mineral oil-based cleaning products as they can damage the fabric,
coating, and prints.
2.
Allow time for the wing to completely dry. Adhesives will not bond to a damp wing.
3.
Lay the wing on a surface that is flat, clean, dry and smooth.
4.
Cut or use two pieces of Canopy Repair Patch the same size, ensuring they are big enough
to create a 15mm border around the entire tear. Round the corners of the patches to reduce
the potential for peeling.
5.
While the canopy is on a flat surface, place one patch over the affected area. Ensure the
area is flat and free from wrinkles.
6.
Cover the opposite side of the tear with the second remaining patch in the same way
previously mentioned.
7.
Make sure the patch is secure, especially at the edges.
8.
It is recommended that the patch is given 12 hours to effectively adhere to the canopy
surface before use.
