Orange Warning Label Placard Data
As Part of the manufacturers requirements, the ORANGE WARNING LABEL located on the
back pad must be filled in by the Rigger assembling and packing the
Telesis 2
. FAILURE TO COMPLETE
THE ORANGE WARNING LABEL WILL RESULT IN THE TSO BEING NULL AND VOID!
The data required for the warning label is obtained from the canopy manufacturer and should be
found on the canopy warning label or data panel.
Please note that there may be instances where one model canopy may have TWO DIFFERENT
placard limitations; one as a reserve and one as a main. An example of this is the Precision Super Raven 4
canopy. As a reserve it is limited to 254 lb. maximum gross weight. However, as a main it is placarded at
288 lb. Make sure that your Rigger marks the correct space with the right category information.
