Packing requirements
Before the re-pack of the rescue, it is to be checked by the packer. If the parachute has been
opened for a rescue, a complete check-over is to be made. Before re-packing the BACKUP
RS should be aired out 2-3 days.
The packer needs to have finished at least one packing course for cross canopy rescue sys-
tems. But we strongly recommend, to let the rescue parachute be packed in an authorized
company.
AttEntion:
The mounting of the rescue is to be made exclusively by an
authorized U-Turn distribution partner.
Laying out and untangling
The packing should be made on a packing table is possible, but the minimum requirement is a
clean, anti-static surface. The parachute has to be stretched to its overall length.
Afterwards a line is pulled through the color coded packing loops and mounted at the top of the
packing table. It is important to take care that no loops are forgotten. At the bottom end of the
table the main suspension is fixed and the parachute is tightened. The lines will be checked on
straight and parallel course. Therefore the lines are checked from the base to the main sus-
pension e.g. #1 and #20 are run through the fingers. Any tangles are removed.
The canopy has four corners, when packing the first of them needs to face downwards, one left,
one right and the last is lying on top.
