4.
Tighten and place risers along the reserve
parachute container.
Place risers in a way ensuring that the rear
riser with the steering toggle is as close to the
bottom of the container as possible, with the
front riser above.
At that point, risers may be excessively
stretched; you will adjust them after having
closed the main parachute container.

5.
Using the temporary closing line, thread the
closing loop through flap No. 2. and then
through flaps Nos. 3 and 4.
6.
When closing the container, don’t force it.
Work gradually and using your knees by
placing them on either side of the eye you
have threaded the closing loop through. This
method prevents the eye from being ripped
out of the flap, and helps release air trapped in
the canopy bag.
When closing side flaps, use your knees or feet to press flaps.
When closing side flaps Nos. 3 and 4, pull the temporary closing line in the direction of the reserve parachute container. This
will help place side flaps on reserve parachute container corners.

7.
Place the curved closing pin in the closing
loop along ¾ of the closing pin’s length
making sure that the connecting tape is free of
twists.
8.
Remove the temporary closing line with a
smooth and slow movement making sure that
it remains under the closing pin as you do it.
This helps prevent wear to the closing loop,
and extends their usable life
9.
Between the closing pin and the part
concealed under right-hand side flap No. 3,
the connecting tape should have excess
length allowing smooth removal of the closing
pin from the closing loop.
10.
Lead the remaining part of the connecting tape
under right-hand side flap No. 3 through to the
collapsible pilot chute pouch. The tape should
be placed under the flap approximately 5 cm
deep, thus preventing its accidental slid-out
during the skydive.
