Thread the steering line 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. 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.
Mate the Velcro® to secure the toggle to
the riser.
For original Para-Cushions (old style)
that utilize a metal ring, route the steer-
ing 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.
