Technical Description
Inner container
The inner container is made of light but
durable materials.
It has two loops to which the deployment
handle can be fastened. When doing this,
always use the loop which is closer to the
deployment handle attachment-point on the
harness.
For safety and functional reasons, the entire
length of the suspension lines is not put
inside the container
– part is kept on the
outside, attached with two elastic bands.
This means that the container initially stays
closed after deployment, until it is about 1.5m
away from the pilot. Only then are the
suspension lines pulled from the closure loop
of the inner container and it can open.
This interval ensures that the chute does not
open until it is a safe distance from any
aerodynamic wake caused by the pilot.
Any wake can delay and/or prevent the chute
from opening. There is also a risk of the
rescue chute getting caught on or even
wrapped around the pilot.
WARNING
The inner container belongs with the
reserve.
You must consult with the manufacturer if
you wish to change the inner container!
Front container and the ORANGE
CROSS
If the ORANGE CROSS is used with a front
container, the bridle must in principle be
attached in both carabiners o
f the harness’s
main hang point.
Please make sure that the minimum strength
of 24kN required under the LTF is used for
all connection points between the harness
and the reserve.
DANGER
Both ends of the bridles
must be
connected to the harness’s main hang
points to ensure that the reserve operates
safely.
