PACKING DIRECTIONS
The
hanggliding Conar
parachute has a very easy
packing technique, which is slightly different from traditional methods.
As a quick and correct opening sequence depends on careful packing,
you are recommended to get an experienced rigger to pack it
as described in
this manual, using the original Conar deployment bag
Incorrect packing would probably cause malfunctions.
If you have to pack your
Conar
yourself, follow these directions
VERY CAREFULLY
The parachute should be packed every three months.
As rough surfaces or jewellery could damage the lines or canopy, take off
all rings, watches and bracelets. You will need two people, a long length of string
and an area that is clean, dry and smooth such as a floor, large table or sheet.

The stretched line in the photo is attached to the
pull down apex (it is made up of three or four
parallel lines depending on parachute size). It
keeps the apex down and holds down the vertex of
the reverse apex cone.
Be careful:
the apex lines must be inside
the
canopy, as shown in the picture on the left.
2 >>
Thread the “long
string” through all the
loops that are
approximately at the
middle of
the Kevlar seam
reinforcements at the
top of the canopy.
Take care to do it
consecutively
counting gore by gore
to avoid missing one.
<<3
Make a knot to hold all
the loops together.
