Stowing the reserve handle
Fold the top container flap (with the Neoprene pocket for the handle)
down. Then push the reserve handle into the open side of this pocket,
leading the two yellow cables out through the slots at the bottom. Run
the packing lines through the metal eyelets at either side of the flap,
pull the white closure loops through and secure them with the yellow
cables. Then stow the ends of the cables in their «buttonholes».
Remove the packing lines carefully. Lead an end under its yellow cable,
then pull it out slowly so as to avoid friction damage.
Caution:
To guarantee a correct release always make sure that
the yellow cables run freely .
Info:
The zip fasteners will always open easily and reliably when
required – even after long intervals between openings .
Caution:
Never connect the reserve directly to the inner
container!
Compatibility check
Correct installation of a reserve must always be tested by a test re-
lease. To do this sit in the harness, straps fastened with packed back
pocket, hanging by its carabiners from a harness hanger. Then pull
the reserve out by its handle. It is not sufficient to pull the reserve out
