Packing preparation
The reserve must be visually inspected before packing and checked for damage to the canopy, lines,
suspension points, main riser and connecting link. The canopy shall then be hung freely above the
ground for at least six hours in a well-ventilated place without direct exposure to UV light.
Packing should be done on a packing table if possible, but at least on a clean, antistatic surface. A
carabiner and a rubber cord attached to the loop at the canopy apex can be used to apply tension to
the canopy between the harness or suspension point and the pack loop. Packing cords help to
bundle the lines. Several bags of lead shot or sand can be used as weights to facilitate packing and
reduce the packing volume.
All packing rubbers must be replaced with new ones for each packing operation. We strongly
recommend to let the reserve be packed by a trained professional.
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
: In an emergency situation, the pilot’s life may depend on the operational
reliability of the rescue system. Incorrect packing can therefore have fatal
consequences! In case of doubt, the reserve should therefore be packed by a
specialist.
