8.1
The AcroPro has a pilot chute
cap with a Spandura® Rim. This
Spandura® Rim is hand-tacked
to the top of the pilot chute at 90º
angles to the loop openings. By
snipping this hand tacking, you can
easily remove the cap and lift it off.
8.2
Once the cap is removed, remove the
loop by snipping the hand tacking.
Install a new locking loop by hand
tacking the Type 4 tape to the pilot
chute top, (do not hand tack the
canopy of the pilot chute) followed
by a good surgeon’s knot. Position
new loop so that Type 4 is between
loop and pilot chute.
Note!
Pilot chute loop must
be placed as close to
dead center as possible.
Being off even a couple
of degrees may cause
the pilot chute to sit
improperly on the
packed container.
8.3
If you are replacing the cap, you must
make two small holes where the loops
will come through the Spandura®.
Do this near the seam in the binding
tape.
