Prior to assembly, make sure that steering lines have been threaded correctly from the canopy through to guide rings on the
risers. Lines leading from the canopy should be free of twists and interweaving, and threaded through correct slider
grommets directly to riser rings. The right steering line shall be threaded through the right rear slider grommet to the ring on
the right riser. The same principle applies to the left steering line.
Should the steering line on the canopy to be assembled be equipped with a factory-fitted loop, it shall be threaded from
under the toggle through the grommet. Then the lower part of the toggle shall be threaded through the line loop. Finally, the
line shall be tightened on the toggle and grommet.
Should steering lines on the canopy to be assembled not be factory-fitted with loops, follow the instructions below when
assembling the canopy.
There are several methods of fastening steering lines to toggles, depending on the steering line type used.
2.1.
DACRON Steering Lines (larger diameter lines).
Fot. 42
1.
Thread the steering line through the grommet
from under the toggle (from the part of the
toggle fitted with mounting flaps).
2.
Wrap the toggle from one side with the
steering line and thread it through the
grommet starting from the upper part of the
toggle.
3.
Wrap the other side of the toggle and thread it
through the grommet from below.
You have an
8
-shaped weave

4.
Adjust the weaves so that the “telltale” marker
on the steering line is located against the edge
of the grommet in the lower part of the toggle.
5.
Tie a knot as close to the grommet as
possible. Leave some excess line, should
steering line corrections be required.
6.
Repeat the procedure for the other steering
line.
7.
Check the length and symmetry of steering
lines.
2.2.
Microlines
(Spectra, Vectran, HMA, etc.)
Fot. 44
1.
Make a loop on the steering line below the
“telltale” marker (1) by tying a knot. The loop
should be approximately 5 mm wider than the
steering toggle tape.
Fot. 45
2.
Thread the loop through the grommet from
under the toggle (from the part of the toggle
fitted with mounting flaps), then thread the
lower part of the toggle through the loop.
Finally, tighten the line on the toggle and
grommet.
3.
Leave some excess line, should steering line
corrections be required.
4.
Repeat the procedure for the other steering
line.
5.
Check the length and symmetry of steering
lines.
