Notes regarding environment protection

Additional information

WELCOME TO THE SOL TEAM IMPORTANT NOTES

- This is an equipment for your training on the ground. It wasn’t made for ight. You

alone are responsible for all risks that come with his use. The inappropriate and/or

abusive use of your equipment increases this risk.

- It’s not possible to transfer this responsibility of risks, using this equipment, to the

producer, distributor or seller.

- A regular training, whenever possible, especially on the ground, is indispensable

and necessary. A poor handling and control of the glider, especially on the ground,

is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.

- It is in your responsibility as a pilot to know what your insurance covers.

- We recommend that every new or reviewed paraglider will be inated and veried

on the ground.

- Always use your safety equipment (helmet, hand-gloves and boots).

- Check all your equipment before each training. Never use inappropriate or damaged

equipment.

- All pilots has to follow the rules of the sport required in each country.

- Before each training check your physical and mental state. Are you t for training?

- Before training choose the right equipment and environment, check the weather

conditions, if you have any doubt - don’t train.

- Never inate your FUN during rain, snow, strong wind, turbulent conditions or if

thunderstorm clouds are in the sky.

- If you are always training with conscious - you’ll be able to train for many years

your FUN.

Ground-handling is one of the most important aspects of paragliding progression.

With the FUN, pilots can progress and learn the most basic or most advanced aspects

of groundhandling even in strong winds safely and easily.

The FUN is an equipment for your training on the ground. It wasn’t made for ight.

You alone are responsible for all risks that come with his use. The inappropriate and/

or abusive use of your equipment increases this risk.

Don’t take any risk! Never y this equipment! Always be accompanied during training

by your instructor.

Read this manual before using your equipment.

Compact - Resistant - Easy control

Along with your FUN you receive:

The FUN is not certied, because he isn’t a paraglider for ight, but only an equipment

for training on the ground.

The FUN is destined to all pupils or pilots who are seeking to improve their domain

over the paraglider. We recommend the use of safety equipment during the training.

- Bag Fun.

- Packing strap.

- Protection sack for the risers.

- Manual.

- Windsock M.

- Little bonus surprise.

The 3 Riser System guarantees stability, 25%

less lines, better weight distribution and less

deformation throughout the years.

Technology

Fabrics composed out of dierent materials

assure long life and more resistance with less

deformation and weight.

Cutting edge technology laser equipments

prepare all molds and parts of the canopy.

The suspension point design was developed for an ideal weight distribution and long

life. During all consideration and calculation, security always is our rst goal.. The

used material mix for the lines of the FUN forms an ideal combination: long life with

little deformation and aerodynamic drag.

PACKING

Step 1: Bundle up your FUN in form of a

cabbage. This way you’re avoiding that

the FUN drags over the ground during

folding.

Step 2: Begin with the center of the

trailing edge. Put one prole over the

other. Each side separate.

Step 3: Now do it in the same way

with the leading edge proles. Put the

reinforcements of top and bottom in the

right way, don’t close the cell openings

and push out the fabric.

Step 4: Fold the wing like an accordion from both sides and put one side over the

other. Now all reinforcements are laying side-wise one above the other.

Step 5: Fold the sack as shown in the

photo. This method is very gentle to the

more stier parts of the FUN.

Step 6: At last put the FUN into the protection bag.

Storing

Most part of the FUN fabric is Nylon. As all other synthetic materials it suers and

deteriorates under the inuence of ultraviolet radiation (UV). It looses his stiness

and gets more porous. Whenever it is possible avoid to submit your FUN to the sun

light, it has a high UV rate, especially in heights. It is recommended to store your FUN

very well whilst it not in use. It should be stored dry in a dry place, protected from UV

rays, distant from chemical products. Avoid to store the FUN in hot places like the

trunk of a car.

TIPS FOR CARE

- Over-stressing of individual lines, more than normal load in training, should be

avoided. An excessive deformation is irreversible and can’t be undone. For the same

reason avoid stepping on the lines, bending or folding them, especially the main

lines.

- Always open the FUN on clean ground, otherwise dirt could penetrate the fabric,

shorten the lines or damage the canopy. Lines should not be entangled to objects

during the phase of ination, otherwise they could be deformed or damaged. Never

step on the canopy, especially not on hard ground.

- Training with strong wind conditions could force the FUN to crash uncontrolled with

high velocity on the ground, the crash could damage fabric and sewings.

- In case of a Line Over the brake lines could wear of or a main line could be cut by

a brake line or crack by friction.

- Handling the FUN on a earthy ground under strong wind conditions accelerates the

aging process of your equipment.

- After a water or tree landing the FUN must be sent for inspection to an authorized

dealer’s workshop.

- It must be avoided that sand, stones or snow enter in the cells, otherwise the weight

on the trailing edge could brake the glider and cause a full-stall. Besides, the sharped

edges could damage the sail’s fabric.

- Training be careful, avoid crashing the leading edge on the ground. Otherwise the

material and sewings of the cell openings could be damaged.

- In case the FUN gets in contact with salty water, he must be washed with sweet

water and dry in the shadow. Never use tools to accelerate the drying process. Salty

water could reduce the line resistance and increase the porosity of the fabric, even

washed out with sweet water.

- After any kind of accident: the equipment must be sent for inspection to an

authorized dealer’s workshop or to the manufacturer.

- Keep up to the required inspection data, to assure that your equipment is always

save for use.

REPAIRS

INSPECTION

Repairs must only be made by an authorized dealer’s workshop or to the

manufacturer.

This equipment wasn’t made for ight, nevertheless, keep him well maintained is

very important for a correct functionality. We recommend an annual revision.
