Section 6: Setting Up Your Dragon Canopy
Assembly: Do not assemble your canopy yourself unless you have the ability, if not,
have this done by a qualified rigger. This operation must be done by a qualified
person in accordance with the specific rules of each country.
Before installation, the canopy must be inspected and checked. Installation and
packing implies that the canopy, its components and accessories are all in perfect
condition and are totally airworthy.

Remember that each connector link has to show continuity from the lines to the
canopy. Check each one for proper assembly. Each of the links will have five

Once you have orientated the lines properly on the connector links, inspect them.
Attach each connector link to the corresponding riser as shown in figures 1-7. Finger-

as this can strip or crack the link and cause it to fail. Slide the slider bumpers (covers)
over the links.
