PACKING
Before packing your canopy, thoroughly inspect upper and lower surface, ribs, seams on the skin and
on the lines, inspect lines, slider and grommets. In case you detect any damage – i.e. tears, burns,
worn-out, rusty or incorrectly assembled parts, please do the necessary maintenance on the canopy
first.
Packing with the ProPack:
1. Stretch the rig on the flat, level surface and fix the container from the movement
2. Set the deployment brakes according to the instructions of your container's manufacturer
3. Check that slider is not collapsed and pull tubs are hidden and not entangled with the lines
(pic. 1)
4. Take lines where they are attached to the risers and divide them by the groups (control lines,
rear risers group, front risers group). Walk to the canopy while letting the lines slide between
your fingers (pic. 2)
5. Put the canopy on your shoulder so that it freely hangs and keeps the lines tense (move the
slider behind your back at this time)
6. Straighten and flake 7 (or 9) air intakes (pic. 3)
7. Holding tightly the bundle, shake it well in order to straighten the folds (pic. 4)
8. Turn the canopy tail-away and grasp the air intakes between your knees (be cautious not to
rotate the canopy full turn)
9. Separate the groups of lines АВ, ВС and СD on one side of the canopy and straighten fabric
between them (pic. 5 and 6)
10. Repeat the step 9 with the other part of the canopy (pic. 7)
11. Straighten the slider between 4 groups of lines and move the grommets tightly to the slider
stops (pic. 8)
