>Shake the canopy out gently to remove leaves,grass, sand,etc
>Sort the lines evenly and arrange them on the canopy.
>Make sure that your glider is in dry condition before packing.
> Lay the glider cell upon cell – from the middle of the glider outwards - from the second
cell, so that the leading edge reinforcements lay neatly on top of one another.
> This gathering method naturally goes faster with two people, one at the leading edge
and one at the leech, but with some practice you will be able to perform this task easi-
ly by yourself.
> Fold over the gathered cloth from the bottom up, pressing the air out as you go fold the
complete cell over once towards the middle>repeat the same packing method on the
other glider half.
> Now lay both sides on top of one another and make sure that the leading edge rein-
forcements lay neatly on top of one another. > Fold the cells from the bottom in the di-
rection of the leading edge, the first fold should have approximately the length from
hand to elbow.
> The leading edge can be folded inward once from the upper end, but this is not total-
ly necessary. However, any air remaining inside the glider should be pressed out through
the leading edge, and not through the material.l
>Now place the compression band around the glider across the leading edge
> Place the entire glider into the inner pack sack. This protects the glider from being
damaged by the zipper or other objects.
> Open the pack sack and lay the glider inside. The soft material here provides for good
carrying comfort for your lower back.
> Now lay the harness with the seat board upwards onto the glider in the pack sack and
(in most cases), close with the zipper.
> The top of the packsack offers enough space for storing helmet, overall, instruments,
etc.
Storage:
Store your paraglider in a dry location, protected from light and away from chemicals!
Dampness is the natural enemy of all paragliders. Therefore, always make sure your
paragliding equipment is dry before packing it away. A heated room is best for this pur-
pose.
