! Warning !
Each time you use this parachute you risk serious bodily injury or death
You can substantially reduce this risk:
1)
By assuring that every component of the parachute system has been assem-

packed in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
2)
By obtaining proper instruction in the use of this canopy and the rest of your
equipment.
3)
By operating the system in strict compliance with the owner’s manual and safe parachuting
practices.
However, parachute systems sometimes fail to operate properly even when properly assembled,
packed and operated, so you risk serious injury or death each time you use the system!
About This Manual
It is beyond the scope of this manual to teach you how to deploy, fly, land or maintain this parachute.
The U.S. Parachute Association publishes recommended procedures on learning to jump and using
skydiving equipment. We urge you to learn and follow these procedures. We also recommend you
obtain instruction from a competent USPA-rated instructor before using this parachute for the first
time
Other countries have similar organizations for instruction. If you are not in the USA, get instructions
from a competent instructor that is rated by your country's organization.
Jumping this parachute without first receiving thorough and personal instruction increases the risk of
serious injury or death.
Sport parachuting technology and procedures continue to develop and change rapidly. Although
reasonable care has been made in the preparation of this manual, Performance Variable cautions
that it may contain information that may be incorrect or behind the current
state-of-the-art

(
riggers and instructors)
to help
you inspect, assemble, pack, use and maintain this parachute. We also welcome your comments,
