TEAR DROP 1 PIN OWNERS MANUAL
A. The reserve pilot chute is supplied with an aluminum cap on the top with 2
grommets contained in it. The off-set grommet is where the 1 pin loop is started.
B. Insert the 1 pin loop from the inside of the reserve pilot chute up to the off-set
grommet and pass it through, ensuring that the washer prevents the 1 pin loop
from passing through the grommet, SEE FIGURE #1. Make sure the adjustment
of the 1 pin quick loop is on the outside of the pop top, SEE FIGURE #2.
C. When you have the 1 pin loop through the top of the pilot chute cap you then
insert the 1 pin loop end back down the center grommet of the pilot chute cap
leaving the finger trapped end on the outside of the pilot chute. This will then be
used for tightening the loop when the reserve is packed.
