Deployment Bag PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Stretch out the canopy, lines and bridle. Secure packing assist line to a fixed object.
Secure the bridle end using mild tension.
2. Flake the canopy in the usual manner. (Grasp one line at the skirt
of the canopy. With your other hand, lift the center of the gore at
the skirt until the next line can be easily placed on top of the first
line. Repeat this process until the entire canopy is pleated.) Go to
the packing tabs and fold each gore neatly by pulling the center of
the gore to the outside making sure the material is not inverted into
the air channel.
3. Sight down the "air channel" to insure all gores are properly flaked.
4. Lay the canopy with half the gore to each side of the lines. Count
the folded gores on each side of the lines. Count the gores on
each side of the packing tabs. Make sure you have an equal
number of folds on each side.
5. On one side fold the skirt up 45 degrees adjacent to the radial
seams leaving 4 inches for the air channel.
6. Long fold that side of the canopy in thirds.
7. Flip the parachute with the folded half on the table and the unfolded
half on top.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 on the top gores. Long fold the canopy into
thirds again and hold in place with weights. At this point you may
want to squeeze air from the folded canopy.
9.
Long fold the parachute in half to form a neat “tube”.
10.
Remove the rope from the packing tabs and place the packing tab
end of the canopy into one corner of the large pocket in the
deployment bag. Please note: Your
parachute will not work with
the packing tab rope in place. Always remove rope immediately after folding the canopy.
11. Close the short deployment bag flap. Thread the appropriate rubber band loops through
the grommets on the short flap and lock by looping the
lines through each of the rubber bands. The stow form a 1”
to 1.5” loop.
12. Starting at the top corner of the line pocket, "S" fold the
remainder of the line into the line pocket.
13. Cover the first 2 locking stows with the long flap and thread
the outside rubber bands through the appropriate
grommets.
