CONNECTING MAIN PARACHUTE RISERS TO THE HARNESS/CONTAINER. THE THREE-RING
SYSTEM.
3.1.
THREE-RING RELEASE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
The release system serves the purpose of cutting away the main canopy in case it does not inflate properly (in case it
malfunctions). Each Feniks harness/container system is fitted with an “Anti-Twist” system preventing a difficult or impossible
pull-out of the cutaway handle in a suspension line twist situation.
The release system consists of the following components, all of which have to be checked prior to assembly (whether they
are operational and clean):

Place yellow cables (8) in protective casings,
the ends of which are placed between chest

the use of Velcro tape.

3.
Prepare the parachute canopy for connection
to the harness. The canopy’s suspension lines
should be free of entanglement. This is best
done when the container and canopy are
arranged as if for packing: the canopy should
be placed with cell openings (vents) facing
downwards, the harness/container’s flaps
should be facing upwards.
Untwisted risers should be placed in front of
the container – riser rings should be lower,
steering toggles should be higher.
