In order to maintain an even pull on the entire parachute with lines we suggest you
suspend a weight (your harness or a sand bag) off the bridle hanging over the edge of
the table.
The lines are to be inspected for damage and to ensure that they are straight. To
accomplish this, take any two adjacent lines, for example, Pos. 1 and 16, and walk
them down to the bridle, checking for any cross-tangles. If there are any tangles,
continue this process, looping the bridle through the crossed line at the juncture of the
lines and the bridle until all tangles have been removed.

Divide canopy gores evenly into right and left side (8 by 8 gores). Reserve canopy
gores are not symmetrical and they are all numbered. Always start folding with right
hand side, on the bottom - gore #8 and finish the side with gore #1 on the top
(Pictures 2).
