USER MANUAL 8. Packing the system Before you start packing your parachute, it needs to be aired (that is - spread the canopy and straighten lines for 24 hours in a dry place of room temperature). Then carefully check the canopy gore by gore, as well as suspension lines and connecting riser for any damages.
Page 10
Place the data sheet gore on the right side of the table. Grab the first two suspension lines together with central line and start flaking each wedge out with the other hand, adding subsequent lines to the bundle. Stop after flaking half of the total gores number.

USER MANUAL Drawing and pictures show correct organisation of the canopy brink and top (number of wedges on the picture was reduced for sake of clarity). canopy brink canopy top data sheet gore Check if the lines cleanly split into right and left halves and if the central lines (fixed in the middle of connector link) do not cross with suspension lines all the way to the spill-hole.

Fold the canopy into an ‘S’ shape. Remove the assistance line from canopy top. Place the bag in the vicinity and start folding canopy as shown.

USER MANUAL Slid the bag over folded canopy. Fold the lines into three ‘double eights’ and put rubber loops over the ends. Picture shows correct appearance of the double eights before placing them in the bag. Lead the middle loop through nearest eyelet.
Page 14
Place the three double loops in the bag. Close it with middle rubber loop, interlacing lines through it. Lead the lines through other rubber loops, completely closing the bag. Remaining lines (length about 40-70 cm) are to be fixed on top of the bag. If there are any rubber loops left unused, they should be detached from the bag.
USER MANUAL 9. Placing parachute in the external container Attach release handle to the bag by fixing its strap to one of the loops. The connecting riser should be pointing sidewise, towards narrow flap of the container. Place the bag in the container, lines down. Lead assistance lines through loops and eyelets of the container.

Using assistance lines and pins close the container side lips. Close the lower lid then, replacing the assistance pin with those of the release handle. The last additional lip should be closed with the other pin of the handle. Pull the assistance lines out, fix the handle with velcro and stick the ends of the handle into elastic...

USER MANUAL Connect the connecting riser with V-shaped risers, using direct knot or stainless steel quicklink (at least 6 mm rod diameter). Possible knot must be well tightened up, without possibility of sliding, while quicklink should be secured with rubber loops.

Close the cover lid with release handle using Velcro strap (the one better suited to actual bag size). Excess of the stiff Velcro tape should be covered with its soft counterpart. The last picture shows buckles attaching container to the harness and a pocket with parachute ID card.
USER MANUAL 14. Placing parachute in a harness-integrated container. Connect the connecting riser with harness risers. Attach release handle to the bag. Put parachute in harness container. Close container using release handle pin. Make sure the pin is secured, so that it will not drop out on its own. It is recommended to have the container pin sealed by an authorised rigger with a thread of max.
