Transporting on the car

The carbon fiber D-cells are sensitive to puncture loads. For vehicle transport, be sure to support the

glider in at least three points with a well padded surface. This can be achieved by support as shown or by

a ladder with padded rungs. With only three bearing points the D-cells should be supported by areas 4-8

inches by the 20" width of the glider.

The straps should being tightened only as firmly as necessarily and be put next to each other instead of

on top of the other.

On wet roads and particularly with salt on the roads a waterproof glider bag is recommended - of course

available from your local ATOS Dealer. Otherwise the ATOS VR should be dried as soon as possible to

avoid damp stains in the sail and corrosion of the metal parts. Also the D-cells and ribs can take up

moisture if they are wet or in high humidity and should be dried as soon as possible.

Set-up procedure

1. The ATOS should not be laid directly on stones, since there can be pressure points on the D-cell. If this

is can not be avoided, then it is advisable to put the ATOS down on a surface that is slightly concave. The

rear end gets less load and the front is less sensitive to pressure points. In a very rough area, the nose

can be rested on a harness. Note how the glider is packed as you open it for the first time.

2. Remove the basetube from the D-Cell and raise the uprights. Do not allow the uprights to inadvertently

fall. This could damage the sail, D-cell or the #1 rib. When installing the base tube, it's best to stand
