JOJO

Dear Skydiver,

Thank you for purchasing a new canopy from JO JO Wings. We are sure you will enjoy the perform-
ance—openings, flight and landings—as well as the quality and durability of this sport canopy.

You and your rigger should carefully inspect your new canopy. Then please take the time to read this
manual and thoroughly familiarize yourself with all aspects of your new canopy—assembly, inspec-
tion, maintenance, packing and performance characteristics—before jumping it. Do not hesitate to
contact us with any questions or comments.

Once again, we appreciate your choice of a JO JO Wing product.
