9.1
Thread the steering line through
guide ring then through the grommet
in the toggle, starting from the
underside of the toggle (the side with
Velcro®).
Lay the toggle on the riser where it
will be when set, and measure where
the steering line should be tied. There
should be one or two inches of slack
in the steering line after the rest of
the lines are pulled tight.
9.2
“Figure-8” the line through the
grommet and secure with an overhand
knot. If the steering line is thin, as
in the Mid-Lite, or Lite, a second
“figure-8” may be necessary to fill up
the grommet hole.
9.3
Mate the Velcro® to secure the toggle
to the riser.
9.4
For original Para-Cushions (old style)
that utilize a metal ring instead of
cloth toggles, route the steering lines
through the guide ring on each riser.
Zig-zag stitch a 1 1/2 inch loop (trim
the excess line) then slip loop through
and over a 1 inch ring or through the
steering loop.
Safety tie each steering ring to the
riser immediately below the guide ring
using seal thread (cotton 24/4), one
turn, single ply.
