Page 9: Before Jumping
After receiving your new Quasar II, inspect its contents to ensure that no components are missing. A detailed list of components can be found on page 5 of the Quasar II Owner’s Manual. Then thoroughly inspect the rig before beginning assembly. Is it the same color pattern that you ordered? Are the main and reserve containers sized properly to fit your canopies? To check this, con- sult the canopy compatibility chart on page 8. -
Page 10: Pre- Jump Check
You should always check your gear before putting it on, and get a full gear check before boarding and again before exiting the airplane. However, many skydivers don’t like others opening and clos- ing their flaps, etc. The Quasar II allows you to receive a full gear check with a minimum of han- dling and fuss. -
