Warning
Do not use tape instead of the rubber ring to fix the Maillon Rapide!
Info
When looping a COMPANION reserve with the STRAPLESS BI 3, the V-line Neoprene Cover
must be pulled over the connection.
Warning
Never attach the inner container to the reserve parachute!
5.2.3. Attaching the spreaders & Connecting the V-lines
Permanently connected spreaders
The spreaders are permanently attached to the STRAPLESS BI 3 with the supplied Maillon Rapide (1).
Warning
The Maillon Rapide must be tightened with a wrench. Tightening by hand is not sufficient!
Info
We recommend the ADVANCE Tandem Spreaders Light
Reserve connection lines
Connect the V-lines (2) to the reserve (as shown before), and put them in the Velcro channels (3). Prevent them
from sliding round the Maillon Rapide using the O-rings provided.
Warning
Make sure that the connection lines run behind the main maillons (facing pilot)! If this is
not the case the reserve may not deploy correctly.
Info
If the reserve is thrown the O rings snap when the reserve lines are tensioned.
