Cleaning
Any kind of wiping/scratching can damage the coating of the cloth.
We recommend for cleaning your Roadster 2, you use a soft cloth
dampened only with water and to use gentle movements little by
little across the surface.
Never use any detergent or chemical cleaners
Storage and Transport
Always store all your ying equipment in a dry room, protected from di-
rect heat. Your wing should be dry before being packed away. Moisture,
heat and humidity are the worst elements for damaging your glider.
Storing a damp glider in your car under the sun would be terrible for
example.
If you land in salt water, you must rst rinse it thoroughly with clean
fresh water. Dry the wing completely, preferably out of the sun, in the
wind. Never use a hair dryer, etc.
Take care that no insects get packed away with the wing. They may eat
the cloth and make holes in a bid to escape. They can also leave acidic
deposits if they die and decompose.
Transport the wing in the supplied bags and keep away from oils,
paints, chemicals, detergents etc.
If you need to dispose the wing, do so in an environmentally respon-
sible manner. Do not dispose of it with the normal household waste.
IMPORTANT: Never pack away or store your glider wet.
Wing Repairs
Amateur repairs can do more harm than good. Always let a regis-
tered dealer or the manufacturer carry out major glider repairs.
If you damage the sail:
If the rip is small, you can x it yourself. You’ll nd all the materi-
als in the repair kit you need. The fabric can be simply mended
with the sticky rip stop / spinnaker tape.
CARING FOR YOUR Roadster 2
Packing
To prolong the life of your wing and to keep the plastic reinforce-
ments in the best possible condition it is very important to pack
the wing carefully.
Ozone strongly recommends to use the concertina packing method
exactly as shown so that all of the cells rest alongside each other
and the plastic reinforcements are not unnecessarily bent. Using
the Ozone Saucisse pack will help preserve the life of the wing and
aid with the speed and ease of packing.
Step 1. Lay mushroomed
wing on the ground. It
is best to start from the
mushroomed position as
this reduces the dragging of
the leading edge across the
ground.
Step 2. Group LE rein-
forcements with the A tabs
aligned, make sure the plas-
tic reinforcements lay side
by side.
Step 4. Group together the
centre of the wing.
Step 5. Carefully zip up the
saucisse pack without trapping
any material or lines.
Step 6. Make the rst fold after the LE reinforcements. Do
not fold the plastic reinforcements, use 3 folds around the LE.
Step 3. Lay wing on its side and
Strap LE...Note the glider is NOT
folded in half; it is folded with a
complete concertina from tip to tip.
It is really important to not stress
the middle cell or bend the plastic
too tightly.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT lay the wing at on the ground before
packing the glider, this will cause abrasion damage to the
top surface as you pull the glider towards the middle. AL-
WAYS pack from a mushroom or lift the wing off the ground
when gathering the wing and grouping the leading edge.
Important: Do not fold the glider in the centre, you will
bend the plastics, instead pack the wing with a full concer-
tina method from tip to tip before packing into the stuff sac.
