Line Replacement
Your S series Powered Parachute Canopy has been designed and manufactured to
allow the easy field replacement of all suspension and steering lines.
General description: The suspension and steering lines of your S Series Powered
Parachute Canopy are manufactured with a loop at each end. The upper suspension
lines (A, B, C, D, E, & F if used) are threaded through the Load Rib line attachment
loop. Then, the other end is passed through the line loop and tensioned forming a
Larks head Knot. This method is repeated at the line cascades junctions by capturing
the two upper suspension lines with a lower suspension line (i.e. A and B line captured
by the A/B line). The suspension line terminates at the Maillon Rapide link by sliding the
loop onto the link in the proper sequence. Once you have identified a line or lines that
are damaged, use the line chart to map its position. The line chart will help you to
identify the relative position of the line. You can order a replacement line using this line
code. If you have more than one damaged or broken line, please contact us about the
best method for replacing the damaged lines.
