You should always check your gear before putting it on, and get a full gear check before boarding
and again before exiting the airplane. However, many skydivers don’t like others opening and clos-
ing their flaps, etc. The Quasar II allows you to receive a full gear check with a minimum of han-
dling and fuss.
The reserve pin can be checked without opening the pin protector flap by looking under the side of
the flap. The main pin can be checked the same way as the reserve. (It is also very easy to open and
close either pin protector flap without disturbing the pin.)
1. Starting at the top of the rig, check the 3-ring release for proper hook-up.
2. Check the RSL for proper routing. It should exit from under the wearer's right hand side of the
reserve pin protector flap, then travel down the front side of the right front reserve riser where it is
secured by tucking its plastic stiffener into the provided pockets. Finally, it should be hooked to the
rear of the right riser using its stainless steel snap shackle.
3. Make sure the release handle's velcro is mated securely and that there is no more than one half
inch of yellow release cable exposed between the handle and the chest strap.
4. Make sure the reserve ripcord handle is seated completely into its pocket and that the cable moves
freely in its housing.
5. Check for proper routing of the chest strap through its adapter and that it is not routed through the
reserve ripcord handle.
6. Check the routing of the leg straps through their hardware and ensure that the free ends are secured
inside the leg pad's channel or with an elastic keeper.
7. The reserve pin should be seated completely into the closing loop and should not be bent or con-
tain any nicks. The closing loop should not be worn or frayed. The pin protector flap should be
closed by tucking its tip into the pocket on the bottom reserve flap.
8.The main pin should be seated at least half way into the closing loop, and should not contain any
nicks. The closing loop should not be worn or frayed.
9. The bridle should be routed correctly, straight down from the pin, tucked under the right side flap,
and then entering the spandex pocket under the pilot chute.
10. The main pin protector flap should be closed by inserting the end of the tab into the pocket locat-
ed under the mid flap.
11. The AAD, if equipped, should be properly calibrated and armed.
