MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The Quasar is manufactured under strict quality control standards from the finest
materials available, however your care will determine the useful service life of the system.
Always use a drag mat under the container when packing to avoid damage. Keep the rig out
of direct sunlight as much as possible to prevent the colors from fading. Never pack canopies
of improper size into the container. If they are too small, the pins will be loose and the
likelihood of a premature container opening is greatly increased. On the other hand if the
canopies are too big, the pins will fit very tight which may cause a hard pull on the reserve or
a pilot chute in tow malfunction on the main. Also, the container flaps will be stretched and
their plastic stiffeners distorted, seriously shortening the container’s life.
INSPECTION
The Quasar and its components should be inspected for signs of wear or damage
every fifty jumps or at each reserve repack, whichever comes first. The closing loop,
deployment bag, and pilot chute of the main container will receive the majority of the wear
and these items should be checked each time the main is packed. The reserve closing loop
should be replaced at each reserve repack.
CLEANING
When cleaning any of the rig’s closing flaps, the canopies should be removed first.
To remove minor soiled areas use a clean cloth dampened with warm soapy water. Grease
and other petroleum can be removed with lighter fluid. If the rig is severely soiled it may be
washed in warm soapy water after removing both canopies and all handles, AADs, etc. Use a
mild soap such as Ivory Snow and a soft brush.
