Outer containers and front containers as well as harnesses with integrated container
compartment are equipped with a release handle, which must be connected to the inner
container of the reserve. The use of original release handles is mandatory.
Release handles with possibility of looping in the original inner container
If there is a possibility of looping in the deployment handle, it is recommended to attach
the CHARLY inner container to it. It is then very important to check the length between the
handle and the inner container.
The shorter the connection from the release handle to the inner container, the easier it is
to pull out and throw the reserve. However, the connection must be at least long enough
to ensure that that the locking pins are released when the handle is pulled. To prevent an
entanglement of the release handle in the suspension lines while they are stretching, the
maximum length of the connection from the release handle to the inner container must
not exceed 37 cm.
There are three loop-in options on the CHARLY standard flat container:
• The attachment to the triangular pull tab is preferable, as it is the best prevention
against the container getting stuck during the extraction from the harness.
• The attachment point on the side is intended for harnesses with a rear container
compartment.
• The bottom attachment point is used when the 37 cm would be exceeded when using
the triangular pull tab. How to measure the length of the connection is shown in the
pictures.
