Step 12
Pull slider up to slider stops at base of stabilizers. Lay
slider flat in wind channel. Lay slider grommets side by side to
minimize lumps.
(Figure 57)
Step 13
Make appropriate stacking folds in one of the following
manners:
a. Canopies 170 square feet and smaller - lay cleaning rod
across stabilizers just above slider bumpers. Grab all
lines below canopy and make a short fold.
(Figure 58)
b. Canopies larger than 170 square feet - pull center tail
towards top of canopy. Make two folds to put slider in
middle of stacked canopy.
(Figure 59
)
Step 14
Pull center tail down even with bottom of stacked canopy.
Kneel on parachute label to prevent shifting. Beginning at right
side of center tail, fold or roll right edge under to same width as
deployment bag. Remove "D" clamp and clamp right corner of tail.
Step 15
Continue folding/rolling right edge of parachute until 3
nose cells are visible. Remove "C" clamp. Clamp 3 nose cells to
right side of parachute.
Step 16
Repeat steps 14 and 15 on left side. Using "B" clamp and
“A” clamp.
(Figure 60)
NOTE
: Stacking folds may vary depending on canopy and
container size combination. You might need to experiment to
obtain best canopy bulk distribution.
