AAD INSTALLATION
Currently the CYPRES AAD is the only unit that is approved for use with the Quasar
harness/container system. All CYPRES channels and pockets are factory-stitched into the
rig and no modifications are necessary. Installation requires no tools and can be
accomplished by a senior or master rigger in under five minutes using the following
technique.
NOTE: Use only special CYPRES closing loops when installing this AAD.
1. Slide the processing unit into its spandex pocket located inside the reserve container on
the bottom flap. Ensure that the unit is oriented so that the exiting wires lie adjacent to the
bottom wall of the container.
2. Route the release unit (cutter) through the channel located on the under side of the
reserve’s bottom inner sub-flap and seat it into its elastic pocket. The hole in the end of the
release unit should be aligned with the flap’s grommet.
3. Now route the control unit up through the supplied channel located on the bottom of the
reserve container. After exiting the end of the channel the control unit is then inserted
through the 2” slot to the channel’s imediate right and seated into its spandex pocket inside
the backpad.
4. Coil all excess cables in front of the processing unit and cover them with the supplied flap
by matting its velcro.
RESERVE DEPLOYMENT
This section is not intended to be a course in dealing with skydiving emergencies. It
is simply a general description of how the Quasar emergency parachute is deployed.
In order for the reserve container to preform as designed, it is recommended that the
jumper be in a stable face to earth position when deploying the reserve. However, there are
some instances that require use of the reserve now, and in these situations simply pulling the
reserve should take precedence over pulling with stability.
1. First, look at and grasp the reserve ripcord handle with both hands.
2. In one motion, vigorously pull the reserve ripcord handle to full arms length.
3. Arch hard into a stable, student type freefall position.
