Apart from the line set your canopy should require very little maintenance. Having said that, it is good practice to check all of your skydive gear approximately every 25 jumps. In particular, looking for any excessive signs of wear and tear.
You should give your canopy a visual inspection or ask your rigger to do it during your repack cycle.
Look for tears in the fabric burns around the slider, stabilisers, bridle attachment and tail as well as broken stitches.
The other main things to look for are damaged or rough slider grommets and loose connector links or damaged soft links.
