5. Installation
Installation of AAD m
into containers made by various manufacturers can be performed solely by those persons with senior-master rigger
2
certification, or a holder of a comparable equivalent according to the legislation of the individual countries where the m
is installed.
2
The m
must be installed only into the original set supplied by MarS and installed directly into the container by the harness manufacturer
2
or, potentially, by an authorized rigger. The rigger must always adhere to compliance with the manual issued by the manufacturer of the
container during installation of the cutter, cable lines, the m
body pouch, and the control units.
2
Alternatively, the safety device can be installed into sets of other manufacturers if the following conditions are met.
Prior to installation, check the device for any mechanical damage of the individual parts, including the cables, and ensure that the connector
of the cutter is sufficiently inserted into the device body and secured with the retaining screw. Then switch the device on to check that
everything is correctly installed, and switch it off again.
The m
device body must be inserted into the pocket sewn into the bottom part of the reserve parachute in a manner that ensures the cable
2
outlets from the m
body are as close to the bottom part of the container as possible. Proper installation reduces cable strain due to the
2
pressure from the reserve parachute being in a closed – packed container.
The cables of the m
safety device must be placed in a fixed order.
2
The thin cable of the cutter is always first. If the set for placing the m2 is
sewn in such way that upon inserting the m
device body into the pocket, the
2
thin cable of the cutter is lower than the thick cable, wind the cable clockwise
from the front view (if it is sewn higher, wind the cable counter-clockwise).
The wound cable must be placed in the prepared area in such a way that
ensures the cable lies as close to the bottom of the container as possible, and
in the area fixed with Velcro straps.
