To ensure safe deployment, the deployment
handle must be attached in a loop on the
front side of the reserve container.
The deployment handle must be fed through
the correct loop in such a way that the
connecting strap between the handle and the
inner container is only put under tension
after the locking pins of the deployment
handle have been completely released by
pulling.
⚠
DANGER
The deployment handle may be blocked and
the reserve may be difficult to operate or
may not deploy at all if the above
instructions have not been followed.
Make sure that it has been attached
correctly by carrying out a trial deployment.

Inserting the reserve
First, place the reserve next to the harness
the way it will ultimately be put away, store
the connection lines tidily in loops in the
outer container and then slide the reserve
itself into the container. If the inner container
is equipped with a pilot chute, then it should
be at the back, so that the air can stream
into it better if there is an emergency
deployment. Please be sure to follow the
packing and fitting instructions for the
reserve as well. The reserve is placed into
the container in the harness with its handle
visible from the outside and the loop of the
handle’s connection line at the top with the
reserve container.
⚠
DANGER
It is essential to check that none of the lines
are knotted or twisted up in the reserve.
The deployment handle must be fastened to
the side of the container towards the
opening, failing which deployment of the
reserve could be impeded.
