X Baens: Cross X baens strengthening the nose prole.
Mini Ribs: Proles between the cells of the trailing edge, which improve performance
and handling.
3D Shaping: Our double 3D Shaping is a three dimensions modeling technology that
reduces wrinkles and imperfecons on the leading edge construcon, improving
the overall aerodynamic performance.
The ATMUS 2 is a basic intermediate for newbie pilots who want to upgrade to B category in
order to develop their ying skills and prospecng longer ights as also for occasional pilots in
search of an excellent balance of easy ying characteriscs with increased performance and
high passive safety.
The ATMUS 2 consists of 47 cells and has internal crossed diagonals applied at the proles
to distribute the weight uniformly. This maintains the canopy very shapely and cleans and
reduces the induced drag.
The ATMUS 2 was designed at the new soware. Its enhanced design and prole are the
result of our connuous development and renement process in terms of performance paired
with stability. The improved features of this project permit a large speed range and excellent
stability.
The project has received innovaons in many details: the prole and the new air intake, from
the typ shark nose, (PBP - Pressure Booster Prole) oer more performance and enhanced
climbing in thermals, although more intern pressure stability. At the front part of the proles
are added the X Baens, aiming for a much more structured and rm prole, more rigid and
avoiding deformaons. This results in more speed and glide performance. The trailing edge of
the ATMUS 2 got Mini Ribs. This helps to reduce the turbulence caused by the canopy prole
and increases the performance.
We all know that 50% of the me ight is being spend to climb in thermals, for that reason we
searched for a new concept that oers a clear advantage in comparison to the other projects
of the same category on the market.
All improvements were made with the most modern materials and with the best new
technologies known in this class of paragliders, though we can oer the best performance for
the pilots.
SOL Paragliders products are known for long-life and performance – our tests and research,
which use paragliders for compeon and acrobacs in the rst place, are geng us knowledge
to choose the right materials. We achieved less weight, volume and resistance for the ATMUS
2 with new construcon technology. We are using compeon lines made of vectran and thin
risers.

OVERVIEW GLIDER
The upper lines disnguish themselves (9), next to the inside layer, the middle lines (8) and the
main lines (7), which are connected to the Quick Links (5). These, in turn connect to the main
lines on the risers (6). The stabilizers’ lines (3) are connected to the same Quick Links (5).
The brake lines (4) come out of the trailing edge, through the master line and are linked to the
toggles, passing through a pulley aached to the ‘C’ riser. The brake lines are of dierent color
in order to facilitate takeo preparaon.
On the brakes’ master lines, there is a mark at the ideal seng point, at which height the toggles
are axed. This seng should not be altered as it ensures adequate and sucient path and
room for the toggles in case of emergency situaons during ight and landing. Furthermore, in
this posion the paraglider is not constantly on a stall.

RISERS AND SPEED SYSTEM
The ATMUS 2 doesn’t have trimmer but can be used with a speedbar. He has 3 risers on each
side, with the ‘A’ lines aached to the ‘A’ riser. The riser ‘A1’ is divided to make “ears” easy. The
‘B’ lines and the stabilizer are aached to the ‘B’ riser. And lines ‘C’ are aached to riser ‘C’
addionally to the brake pulley.
The Speed System works on the risers ‘A’, ‘A1’ and ‘B’. When set at the normal posion, all
risers have the same length. When the Speed System is acvated, it shortens the risers ‘A’, `A1´
and ‘B’. The riser ‘C’ remains in its original posion.

The majority of the latest harnesses have pulleys for assembling the Foot Speed System. In
the eventuality the pulleys are not there, it is important to aach such pulleys (sewing them)
in such way to make the operaon of the speed system soer. The lile chord on the speed
system must be rmly aached (by a nonslippery knot) to the srrup (aluminum bar). The
other end of the cable is fed through the harness’ pulleys and comes out vercally, and rmly
aached to a Quick Link with a strong coil, a quick hook-up or preferably closed by a nut.
In order to adjust the Speed System, we suggest that you connect the harness and the risers
together, suspended from the ground. Ask a friend to pull the risers ‘A’ upwards. At this me,
adjust the length right to the bar in such way to be easily reachable with your feet in ight and
by stretching the legs, make sure to llow for a clear path to maximize the accelerator usage.
The pilot acvates the speed system by pushing the srrup forward. The pulleys on the risers
reduce to 2/3 the necessary energy and the risers at the front are shortened.
Before takeo, the Quick Hook-Up or the Quick Link must be connected at the ring on the
speed system risers. It is important to note that the lile chord must run free of snags. The
rubbing with the risers may cause damage. The Paraglider has no further technical parts that
can be adjusted.
SPEED SYSTEM
• An incorrect system assembly, that allows for dierent measurements other than the
indicated above nullies the cercaon!
• Remember that when using the speed system, the angle of aack decreases which may
result in the collapse of the paraglider, consequently, the use of the speed system close
to the ground should be avoided. We do not recommend the use of the speed system in
turbulent condions.
• Never use the speed system in extreme maneuvers.
• In the event the canopy collapses, release the srrup immediately and make the appropriate
correcons. •
• Never let go of the toggles!
SELETES
The ATMUS 2 was tested with a harness LTF Type GH. Any harness of type ABS are recommended
for the ATMUS 2, tested with large clips set at 42 cm and 48 cm heights from the board,
depending on the harness size. Care must be taken because the large clips height aects
the brake posion when set at ‘normal’. SOL give free together all gliders and harnesses, a
Measuring Tape “Easy Check” to help pilots to check the distance between carabiners.
The regulated distance between the large clips (adjustable at the chest) is 42cm for the
paraglider size “S” and “M”, 44cm for size “L” and 48cm for size “XL”. Variaons of more than 5
cm above these ones will alter the fundamental characteriscs of the canopy and are potenally
dangerous.
FLIGHT
The ATMUS 2 has been cered for a dened weight range. If your weight range falls between
two sizes, we recommend the following:
A careful First Flight is necessary with every paraglider, the ATMUS 2 is no excepon. This
ight must take place on a pracce hill. Aer unpacking the paraglider and laying out it in a
horseshoe shape posion, the following steps must be taken:
• The paraglider must be laid out in such a way that, when tension is applied to risers ‘A’, the
canopy center should be extended before the extremies. This allows for an easy takeo
with good direconal stability.
• Special aenon must be taken to the wind’s direcon upon the liing of the canopy, so
that the two halves are inated symmetrically.
• All lines must be organized and completely free of any entanglements. Special aenon
must also be given to the lines ‘A’, which must be free right from the risers ‘A’ (with the
red mark) to the canopy.
• Same priority and care must be given to the brake lines, which must also be completely
free and without any possibility of entanglement on any obstacle during takeo.
• All lines should be checked and all the risers in appropriate order. When the risers are
aligned and not twisted, the brake lines will be free from the pulleys (on the rear risers)
to the canopy’s rear edge.
TAKEOFF WEIGHT
FIRST FLIGHT
1. If you desire beer speed, accurate commands, and if you usually y over mountains and/
or extreme condions, you should choose to y near the middle to maximum suggested
weight.
2. If you desire a beer sink rao, and if you usually y above at elevaons, and light condions,
you should choose to y near the minimum suggested weight.
Warning
14 15
• It is not advisable to y the ATMUS 2 in rainy days or with a wet paraglider, since the in-
ight maneuvers become more sensive and a reserve deployment may occur upon exing
a B-Stoll or in the event of excessive usage of breaks.
• Never take o if your glider is not fully inated or the toggles are not under your control.
• Make sure reserve is OK! Opening device
and pins acvated?
• Helmet?
• Carbines closed?
• Harness – Connected all Locks closed?
• ‘A’ risers in hands?
• Untangled brakes in hand?
• Are you in the center of the canopy?
• Takeo path is clear?
• Paraglider and pilot aligned with the wind?
• Airspace ahead of takeo area is clear?
• Distance between carbines is correct?
TAKEOFF
It’s very easy to y the SYCROSS ONE. When ready to takeo, the pilot must take risers ‘A’, ‘A1’
together with the toggles. In order to dierenate between the lines, line ‘A’ and risers ‘A’
inclusive are marked with a dierent color.
Before takeo, a last check is required to ensure all the equipment is laid out properly. The
arms must be extended to the side, as if they are extensions of risers ‘A’. A decisive run allows
for a quick and stable inaon.
Canopy overtakes are not common. Aer the inial inaon momentum, the pilot must keep
the tension forward on risers ‘A’ (pushing them ahead, and not pulling them downwards), unl
the canopy is above your head. At this point, the brakes must be carefully acvated, ensuring
room for the possibility of direconal changes. A move to underneath the center of the
paraglider is the best method for correcons, provided there is room for it. The pilot glances
at last upwards to ensure the canopy is properly located above, completely unobstructed and
inated. At this point, the pilot decides whether or not to takeo.
• It is extremely important that no entanglements nor bunched lines are present. Any line
going under the canopy or e may result in disastrous consequences.
• Before and aer each ight the lines, risers and canopy must be checked for any possible
damage.
• In case there is any damage present, as insignicant as it may be, the canopy should not be
own!
Reverse takeos in strong wind condions are also very easy to execute. Due to risk of takeo
with entangled lines (twist), it is highly recommended to take some me and pracce reverse
takeos on a small, leveled hill inially.
The ATMUS 2 can be used for towed ight as long as is connected to the towed ight system
(Tow release). It must be connected to the same carbines that join the harness with the
paraglider. It is acvated through an acvator that is strategically located and when is pulled it
releases the equipment to y.
During the taking o it’s necessary to avoid a small angle of the cable with the ground. A taking
o with tow release help needs instrucons and appropriate procedures. Make sure that you
have the necessary knowledge and that the operaon is made in a safe and correct way.
The ATMUS 2 in its normal ight, performs beer with the hands lied. Applying 20 - 25 cm the
canopy enters safely the minimum speed range. In order to accelerate, use the speed srrup.
Maximum symmetric way of brake lines , by maximum weight:
In turbulent condions, the paraglider must be own with the brakes soly applied. An increase
in angle of aack is achieved by this measure, resulng in greater canopy stability.
The pendulum eect back and forth must be avoided! The canopy must remain on top of the
pilot. For this purpose, the speed must be increased by releasing the brakes upon entering a
thermal (depending on its intensity) or braking on exit. This is part of the basic technique on
acve ying.
During ights over the li, it is highly recommended a minimum height of 50m be kept, for
safety reasons.
It is extremely important to know and respect ying regulaons, especially so when the
airspace within close proximies of canyons is shared among several pilots, where last minute
an-collision maneuvers are not executable.
The ATMUS 2 is very sensive, responding instantly to turn commands. Leveled turns can be
achieved with the shiing of weight on the risers with minimum altude loss.
A combinaon of weight shiing and breaking technique is the most ecient way of execung
turns in any situaon. The given brake ulized determines the radius of turns.

Normal Flight
Thermaling and Soaring
Turns
Warning
16 17
• By pulling either brake too strongly or suddenly, there is a danger of creang a negave
spiral!
By acvang the brakes on the outside edge of the turns, as well as applying maximum weight
shiing on the risers, the eciency and resistance to collapse in turbulences (at the edge of
thermals) is increased. In case it becomes necessary to perform turns in a constrained space
with the ATMUS 2, we recommend you to release the outside brake in the given turn and pull
a lile more the brake on the inside of the turn.
It is recommended to use the accelerator when ying against the wind or in descending current
zones. Due to a decreased angle of aack, the canopy may collapse easier than when set at the
normal posion. The pilot must remember that the higher the speed, the more dynamic the
collapse response or symmetric closing will be.
It’s very easy to land with the ATMUS 2. The nal approach stage must be done in straight line
upwind.
During this nal glide, the paraglider must be decelerated slowly and at about 1 m from the
ground the pilot must stall the canopy, according to the condions.
With a strong nose wind, the pilot should break only slightly or eventually don’t even brake at
all, and ulizing just the risers ‘C’ to de-inate and overcome the canopy aer the landing. By
breaking during a landing in strong wind condions, you may expose the canopy to the wind,
which could lead to the pilot being dragged backwards.
The nal approach must be done always in a straight line. Sharp and alternang turns may
produce a dangerous pendulum movement close to the ground.
In turbulent condions it is not recommended to y the glider with full speed, cause the ATMUS
2 is than more sensive to deformaon and closing. You must remember that the higher the
speed, the more dynamic the collapse response or symmetric closing will be.
Accelerated Flight
For best performance during your ight, it is important to be always sensive to what your
canopy is trying to communicate. The key elements of acve ying are the advancements and
tension control. When the canopy moves ahead of you, carefully apply the brakes, so that the
canopy returns to be above you, and if the canopy moves behind you, you must release the
brakes. Flying with the brakes lightly applied (+ - 20 cm) allows the canopy to y slightly behind.
In turbulent circumstances the internal paraglider tension may change, which you will feel on
the brakes. The idea is to maintain a constant tension, and in case you feel loss of tension,
apply the brake.
Avoid ying excessively with the brakes on because you might brake to the point of stopping
the canopy from ying. Always consider your aerodynamic speed. Your movements can be
symmetric or asymmetric and both or one brake can be applied. We suggest that you do
ground pracce runs and advancing simulaons.
Tension loss can be simulated well on the ground.
• The ATMUS 2 requires acve ying in turbulences! This can avoid canopy closings and
deformaons.
• Neither pilot nor any paraglider are immune to collapses; therefore acve ying will
decrease the chances of happening.
• Always maintain altude awareness and do not get into excessive commanding mode. We
advise you to maintain brake tension and avoid ying in extreme turbulent condions.
Landing
Warning
Warning
Warning
The ATMUS 2 has not been designed for motorized ight, tandem ight or acrobacs. This
project is designed for only one pilot without passenger.
We recommend that seminaries who simulate ight incidents or other manoeuvres are done
with the supervision of experienced instructors and above water with all the safety precauons
necessary.
FAST DESCENT MANEUVERS
By pulling simultaneously the external riser ‘A1’ at about 18 cm, the canopy ps will close.
The canopy remains completely maneuverable through the acvang of unilateral brakes or
the shiing of weight towards the risers, ying at a fast descending rate (up to approximately
3m/s). In order to recover, the pilot must release the external riser ‘A1’ lines. Usually the canopy
re-opens by itself, but the pilot can assist with a long and quick pumping.
• All fast descent maneuvers must be executed in light condions and at sucient altude,
so that they can be performed as necessary under extreme ying condions.
• ‘Full Stalls’ and negave spirals must be avoided, regardless of the paraglider being own.
Incorrect recoveries and exits can result in disastrous consequences.
• The best ight technique is to y safely and correctly. This way you will never need to
descend rapidly!
EARS
Warning
18 19
• SOL does not recommend combining of ears and spirals, as this may exceed the allowable
load.
• Don´t push the ears simultaneously, push one each me.
• Never y with ears simultaneously using the speed bar, this might cause a great collapse.
POSITIVE SPIRAL
Spirals carry a high rate of descent. Therefore high acceleraons (G) make it impossible to hold
them for an extended period of me. The spiral force may cause the pilot to faint and to lose
ying controls, and crash. Furthermore, they will exert a lot of force and aect the pilot and
equipment alike.
The pilot should never exercise this maneuver in turbulences or with wide lateral angles. In
windy condions, the pilot must be aware of oscillaons during the maneuver.
When the pilot acvates just one brake, slowly and progressively, the paraglider inclines
sideways in a sharp angle and enters a steep and quick turn, which may become a posive
spiral.
During a spiral the rotaon radius can be controlled by the greatest or smallest force applied
to the inside brake.
In order to come out of it, the pilot must release the brake slowly and shi his/her weight
lightly to the outside of the turn. A sudden exit may result in an exaggerated momentum
forward of the canopy, and collapsing it. For this reason, on exing the last turn, the inside
brake of a given turn must be soly applied again.
In case the canopy collapses during this process, the spiral must be counter-acted, as the
acve canopy area will be reduced.
Warning
To induce a ‘B-Stall’, the pilot must pull the risers ‘B’ simultaneously, between 15 and 20 cm.
There will be a shi of air ow on the outer layer and the canopy will iniate a parachutal
phase.
• Never combine ears with spirals. The canopy acve area reducon plus the ‘G’ force, by
the centrifugal eect, may result in line and/or canopy damage.
• Exing of any spiral at great speeds must be piloted.
• This maneuver requires high altudes (at least 600 meter over ground) and is dangerous
due high descent rao pilot can lose the altude reference. Never do this maneuver
without sucient experience.
By releasing the risers ‘B’ quickly the airow recoils on the outer layer and the canopy returns
to its normal ight posion. In case the canopy does not recover to normal ight, refer to the
secon on Wraps. The momentum of return creates a forward moon by the canopy. We
recommend avoiding braking the paraglider eliminang the possibility of a parachutal stall.
The load applied on the ‘B’ lines during this maneuver is not benecial to your paraglider. Use
this maneuver only in emergencies. In the event risers ‘B’ are pulled too quickly or too deeply,
a horseshoe may occur towards the front. In order to regain normal ight, the pilot must apply
the brakes lightly.
BEHAVIOR IN EXTREME MANEUVERS AND COLLAPSES
• Extreme maneuvers must be executed under the supervision of a qualied instructor, on
safe courses and with the enre infrastructure available for above ground and water ying!
Like any other canopy, a negave angle of aack will result in a closing. In order to maintain
direconal control upon a lateral asymmetric closing, the brakes must be applied on the open
side. In case of a major closing, the amount of braking must be well graduated, in such way to
avoid the airow displacement (stall) on the open secon of the canopy.
To facilitate the canopy re-inaon during a collapse, the steps above must be followed in
conjuncon with a long and slow brake pumping acon (2 seconds) with the toggle on the
closed side. The shiing of weight on the opposite side riser of the closing will also assist with
the re-inaon and increase safety, requiring less brake acon and keeping away from the stall
point.
In case the pilot does not compensate with the brakes, the ATMUS 2 in most situaons will
inate by itself even in major asymmetric collapses. The ATMUS 2 can make a complete turn
and in the event it does not open on its own.
Without acon, the paraglider will begin a posive spiral. The pilot must lightly apply the brake
on the external side to stop a spiral and at the same me shi his/her weight on the same
side unl the canopy is stabilized. Exactly at this stage of pendulum eect under the canopy,
it is important that the pilot controls carefully the amount of force applied on the brakes, and
oen it is needed to decrease the force. Once a straight ight is achieved, the closed side can
be re-inated by the pumping acon.
LATERAL ASYMMETRIC CLOSING
Warning
Warning
In the eventuality of lines going over the canopy during ight, the pilot must take the following
steps:
• Try to maintain a straight ight: Shi the weight to the open side of the paraglider and
assist with a light brake tension on the open side.
• If the pilot does not acvely terminate the spiral, it will connue all the way to the ground!
Warning
20 21
Risers ‘A’ and ‘A1’ are ghtly pulled unl a complete closing of the Leading edge is achieved,
then quickly release the risers unl it is closed. The pilot should not hold the risers aer the
closing. Special aenon must be given to ensure enough altude is available.
The ATMUS 2, on most instances, recovers on its own from a frontal asymmetric closing. In
turbulent condions, a head bu may occur, which must be overcome by accurate brake
control.
The ATMUS 2 does not have parachutal stall tendencies and recovers on its own from an
intenonal parachutal stall induced by braking commands. In the event of a parachutal stall
upon coming out of a B-Stall, it is enough just to pull the risers ‘A’ downwards or the accelerator,
thus reducing the angle of aack, therefore reorganizing the air ow contact to the canopy.
• Line-overs are generally the result of poor preparaon before takeo, collapses during
acrobacs or lateral asymmetric closings.
FRONTAL SYMMETRIC CLOSING
PARACHUTAL
Warning
To create a ‘Full Stall’, the pilot must pull both brakes to the end, and hold them ghtly in this
posion. In this situaon, the ATMUS 2 ies in most mes on reverse, in a forward horseshoe
shaped e.
The canopy must be stabilized before the procedure for normal ight re-entry is iniated.
Any aempt of recover during the beginning stages of a stall, when the paraglider reverses
suddenly can result in a sudden push forward of the canopy. When recovering from a ‘Full
Stall’, both brakes must be released slowly simultaneously and symmetrically (> = 1 second).
The ATMUS 2 will move forward gradually and begin normal ying.
An asymmetric recovery (releasing one brake before the other) of a ‘Full Stall’ is ulized only by
test pilots to simulate a paraglider being expelled out of a thermal and must not be aempted
by pilots!
During the negave spiral, the canopy rotates relavely fast around its center, with its inner
side ying backwards.
When entering an unintenonal Negave Turn, the pilot must recover as soon as it is noced
by releasing the brake slightly so that the canopy will accelerate and returns to a stable ight,
without losing too much altude.
When a negave turn is intenonally prolonged, the ATMUS 2 accelerates forward
asymmetrically. A frontal asymmetric closing should not be under-esmated.
To recover from an intenonal negave spiral, the pilot must release the pulled brake and pay
close aenon to a strong canopy surge ahead.
To induce a fast Negave Turn out of normal velocity (LTF) or starng from the minimum speed
(EN), the pilot must pull ghtly and quickly one toggle right to the end of it.
• A sequence of wrong commands could cause a sequence of collapse of the canopy and
might lead to an accident.
FULL STALL
NEGATIVE TURNS
In case braking controls are impossible, the canopy can be driven by ulizing risers ‘C’ and
eventually land. Pay close aenon to the length of the command, which should be shorter
than braking commands.
EMERGENCY FLYING
In order to perform a ‘Wingover’ the pilot must generate a strong pendulum eect by alternang
turns on both sides. A complete closing of the canopy is possible.
• A turn with an incline beyond 60º is considered acrobac.
WINGOVER
Warning
Warning
• To re-open: Pull the stabilizer line on the closed side (rst line of riser ‘B’ of a dierent color)
unl the line entanglement is cleared.
• If the line-over is serious, if it’s not possible to maintain a stable ight (spiral) and if there is
sucient altude (>400 m), there is a chance of resolving this mal-funcon by execung a
‘Full Stall’. In case the above maneuver does not solve the problem, or if the altude is not
sucient, the pilot can acvate the emergency parachute (reserve).
• A good maintenance extends the life of your ATMUS 2 for many years to come.
Warning
The ATMUS 2 fabric is made mainly out of Nylon, which like any other synthec material is
sensive to UV light radiaon, causing it to decompose, losing its mechanical resistance, and
thus increasing its porosity.
For this reason, the unnecessary exposure to sun light, which carries a high UV radiaon level
in high altudes must be avoided. It is highly recommended to leave the paraglider stored
away and well protected when it´s not being used in a dry place, protected from UV light and
away from chemical products. Avoid keeping the paraglider in places with high temperature
(trunk of the car).
STORAGE
22 23
• Aer an accident or long me without using the paraglider must be checked.
There are various facts that could help to increase the life of your paraglider. One of them
is the way how to fold your equipment. To take care of the baens folding the paraglider is
essenal to maintain the starng and ight characteriscs of your paraglider. We recommend
to fold the canopy using the origami folding technic and our origami folding bag. With your
paraglider comes a tradional bag to store and protect your equipment. Storing it in there is a
good beginning to protect the canopy.
Steps to fold the canopy:
FOLDING YOUR PARAGLIDER
Warning

Step 1. Open the canopy completely on the ground and fold him in form of a accordion, though
you avoid dragging him over the ground.
Step 2. Iniate the folding at the center, placing prole over prole always taking care of the
baens (forming the curve of the prole (A). To liberate space for the baens, manage the
boom surface.
Step 3. Aer folding the baens turn both sides to the center (C), handle the prole of the
center to shape the form of the others.
3
Step 4. Organize the canopy in form of o accordion of both sides and then put one side up the
other. Now all baens should be posioned lateral.
4
Step 5. Open your origami folding bag and localize the cushioned area, there you have to put
the baens. Aer closing the bag fold the part with the baens to the middle, this way they
are double protected.
4a
Step 5a. If you use the tradional bag, follow the steps 1 to 4. Aer this fold the canopy with
the baens inside. This way you protect them. Normally the paraglider occupies the whole
bag without great compression.
5
5a
Cleaning must be performed only when it is absolutely necessary. We recommend the use
of water only with a smooth sponge or cloth. Do not use any chemical product, since it will
damage the material permanently.
It is important you keep pulleys lubricated because in case they do not work may consume the
speedy handle or axle, apply paran or lubricant spray, read carefully about the lubricant to
avoid spots and fabric consume. Do not apply on the sewing lines.

Your backpack was designed with comfort and praccality in mind. It´s format allows for good
content distribuon. Shoulder straps and back support are padded so that comfort is not
compromised during walks.
BACKPACK
• The ATMUS 2 lines are made of Vectran. Individual line overloads beyond the normal
range in ight must be avoided, because an excessive deformaon of the line is irreversible,
and becoming permanent.
• The same way, folding and creasing the lines must be avoided, specially the main lines.
Never step over the lines or canopy, above all on hard surface. The canopy must be opened
only on a clean surface area, since dirty can penetrate in the canopy’s ber, shorten the
lines or spoiling the fabric. The lines must be kept from any entanglements on takeo to
prevent excessive deformaon. Avoid storing the paraglider for long periods in areas with
high humidity or heat, this causes premature aging of the materials.
• Keep away sand, stones or snow from entering the canopy cells because any weight
on the trailing edge slows the canopy down, possibly creang a stall, furthermore, sharp
corners may cut the fabric.
• During takeos and landings in windy condions, a run-away canopy may hit the ground
strongly and the shock may rupture the material.Em caso de emaranhamento as linhas de
freio podem esfolar ou uma linha principal pode vir a ser cortada por uma linha de freio,
rompendo devido a fricção.
• In case of line entanglement the brake lines may peel-o or a main line may get cut by
a brake line, due to fricon.
• The manipulaon of the paraglider during ground takeo, or a lot of wind speed up the
aging processn of your equipment.
• Aer a tree or water landing, the lines must be checked and tested.
• On landing, avoid leng the Leading Edge fall forward and downward towards the
ground because this may damage the materials that form the front of the paraglider and/
or rip the sewn areas.
• In case of salt-water contact, the paraglider must be soaked and washed with fresh
water. Salt water might decrease the lines’ resistance even if soaked with fresh water. The
lines must be changed aer contact with salt water.
• Never dry the paraglider directly under the sun. This must be done in a shaded area.
• Aer an accident send the paraglider for inspecon to the manufacturer or distributor.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A LONG LIFE
• Your ATMUS 2 was designed, tested and cered to perform the best. Any alteraon of
your paraglider will nullify your cercaon and jeopardize your safety. For these reasons
we strongly recommend you to avoid altering anything on your paraglider.
REVISÃO
The rst inspecon check is mandatory compleng 24 months or 100 ights, whichever comes
rst.
Aer the rst inspecon any wing has to be checked yearly or at each 100 ights, whichever
comes rst. In any of these inspecons may occur that a shorter period of me for the next
inspecon will be dened (f. ex. 6 months or 50 ights). It is of utmost importance to follow
these guidelines. Without performing the mandatory inspecons, the paraglider loses its
cercaon and the respecve SOL warranty becomes null and void.
Always check your equipment aer an incident or in case the canopy has been stored for a
long me. In case of excessive use (permanent spirals and other extreme maneuvers) the
period of inspecon has to be shorter. Repairs must be performed only by the manufacturer,
distributor or authorized personnel. Minor repairs could be handled by yourself, although we
recommend that repairs should be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized personnel. They have the necessary materials and tools to maintain your glider.
Warning
REPAIRS
• Along with your kit you get small adhesives for repair. Small tears up to 10 cm away from
the line points may be xed by you. Beyond that we advise you the maintenance be made
by the manufacturer or by the registered workshop.
• Clean the spot where the adhesive will be applied with a humid cloth;
• It must be at least 2,5 cm more of the adhesive than the tear;
• Make the edges rounded to avoid to unglue aer is glue;
• Apply on both sides of the tear.
TEARS
Along with your kit you get a 1.1 thickness line to make a lile repair. When you repair we
advise you to sew the unsowed point aer you check the measure. Do not knot because it may
diminish up to 80 % of the line resistance.
LINE BREAKAGE
• When buying the lubricant make sure that this product do not aack the material properes.
This may aect the fabric and lines resistance.
Atenção
SEALING
Along with your kit you get sealing for the carbines. Do not leave your risers without them
because they avoid the movement of the screw nut making it impossible their opening.
26 27
• We advise you the maintenance and repairs be made by the manufacturer or by a registered
workshop.
