1) Reserve Parachute Installation
the initial installation of the reserve parachu-
te should be carried out by a qualified pro-
fessional.
We recommend that the initial installation of the
reserve parachute be done by a qualified
professional. Ask your paragliding equipment
supplier or instructor to do the initial installation
of the reserve parachute, and familiarise yourself
with the process. The size of the reserve
pocket on REVERSE 4 is suitable for most
current reserve systems. If it is not possible to
connect the harness reserve handle to loops on
the parachute deployment bag inside the pocket,
please consult your supplier who may be able
to supply an alternative deployment bag. Loops
can be sewn at an appropriate place on any
deployment bag, but this must be carried out by
a qualified person only.
WARNiNg!
After installation of a reserve parachute
in the harness, it is absolutely essential to do
a simulated deployment under a static swing,
ensuring that the parachute release system
operates correctly and the parachute comes out
easily. The elastic cord which closes the reserve
pocket must be checked regularly. If the cord is
worn, it must be replaced.
Each time a reserve parachute is installed, check
that the cord is in good order by applying a load
of 10 kg.
Before each flight, check that the pin and handle
are located correctly.
