Packing the Reserve Canopy Lay out and arrange The UP Profile 2, and indeed all parachutes, should be opened and aired for at least a day before re-packing. This eliminates any humidity present in the fabric. The packing operation is best done on a rigging table or at least on a clean flat surface.
Now, with Lines 1-10 on the right, arrange Lines 11-20 on the left. The flaking of the panels now begins with panel/line No. 10. To this end, one after another, the panels from No. 10 to No. 1 are picked up and flaked-folded, holding the stacked lines between the thumb and fore-finger.

___________________________________________________________________________ If you are using a line-comb now is the time to “comb” the lines, working from the top down. The combing can also be done with your hands and ensures that there are no tangles or mistakenly placed panels/lines before you move on to the next step.

___________________________________________________________________________ Packing the canopy in the inner container Once again make sure you have removed the packing line from the tabs at the vertex of the parachute. If this line is not removed, the parachute will not open! Then begin “Z-ing” the canopy into the back of the inner container, working from the vertex down (Picture 4A).

___________________________________________________________________________ In order to temporarily keep the container closed while sorting and attaching the lines it makes sense to use one loop of lines and one of the closing rubber bands to keep it closed (Picture 5). Picture 5 The lines are then “S-ed” three to four times into four bundles and secured with suitable rubber bands (available from your normal flying equipment provider).
We recommend always using this container for your UP Profile 2 parachute. When installing the UP Profile 2 in the harness, please follow the instructions delivered with your harness. This is also the place to look for information regarding the closing of the outer container.
___________________________________________________________________________ Then close the two lateral flaps and the lower flap, and secure them with the pins. Close the last flap, securing it with the Velcro and your reserve is again ready to use. The Packing Card Each pack should contain a current inspection card recording the date, name, and signature of the packer/checker as well as the location of the approved inspection site.
