- Page 1 BASE Canopy User Manual (11.2018)
- Page 2 The information contained in this manual is time sensitive. Because the sport of fixed object parachuting (BASE jumping) is evolving rapidly, some of this information will change over time. Contact Apex BASE if you have any questions about your gear that are not addressed in this document. !!! WARNING !!! Parachuting is dangerous.
- Page 3 BASE jump. While each of our canopies (FLiK II, Lynx, Lobo) have their own unique performance characteristics they are all highly versatile and designed for all-around BASE jumping use.
- Page 4 during deployment. Be sure to leave a portion of the link covers ABOVE the hard link, to protect your slider grommets from coming into contact with the stainless steel links. Do not place these link covers so low on your links that the brass slider grommets are able to make contact with the steel links when the slider descends.
- Page 5 b. Slider On (WLO Toggles): WLO Toggles should be used when jumping slider up and are easily assembled to your canopy control lines. Pull down the velcro lanyard on the front of the toggle until the pin is pulled far enough below the grommet to allow your control line to pass through.
- Page 6 the control line is securely assembled to the toggle. Re-mate the lanyard velcro on the front of the toggle and re-stow the retainer tab. 3. Bridle Attachment to Bridle: A 2 pin bridle will come as part of your harness-container system and must be properly assembled to your canopy.
- Page 7 b. Locate the loop on the bridle end closest to the pin side of the bridle. Pass this loop through the main bridle attachment point on your canopy, or connector loops on the Multi-2 lines. Multi-2 Bridle Attachment: Connect the Multi-2 components to your canopy using a larks head knot.
- Page 8 Multi-2 Bridle Attachment: Connect the bridle to your Multi-2 system components using a single larks head knot. c. Pass the remaining bridle through the same loop creating a larks head knot. d. NOTE: If you are not using the Multi-2 Tail Pocket Support System on your Apex BASE canopy be sure to affix the bridle ONLY to the main attachment point and NOT the Multi-2 attachment point.
- Page 9 If you are not using your Multi-2 System be sure to connect your bridle ONLY to the main attachment point, and not the Multi-2 attachment point. Brake Settings Your canopy will come with two pre-installed brake settings. The deeper brake setting is designed and tuned for use in the slider off environment, while the shallow brake setting is designed to be used with a slider on higher airspeed jumps and/or where object strike is not a concern.
- Page 10 Only use the appropriately sized slider with your canopy, and we recommend removing your slider when it is not being used on low airspeed deployments. Apex BASE also offers 4 different styles of slider: 1. Large Mesh Slider 2. Small Mesh Slider 3.
- Page 11 out due to use so be sure to replace as necessary. Tail pocket velcro must be replaced when worn, do not wait for your tail pocket velcro to begin to fail before replacing it. Slider grommets should be burr free, meaning the inner passage of the grommet should be smooth and free of sharp edges that may damage your lines.
