CLOSING THE MAIN PARACHUTE CONTAINER WITH THE HAND-DEPLOYED COLLAPSIBLE
PILOT CHUTE ATTACHED

1.
Place the bag – free of twists and turns – with
the canopy inside the main parachute
container. Place all unthreaded suspension
lines – free of entanglement – on the bottom of
the container.
The bag may be placed in the container with
the suspension lines facing the bottom or back
of the container.
2.
Fill the container as best you can. You can
kneel on the bag, and then, gripping the
container flaps, push the bag in as deep as
you can. This will also release any air trapped
in the bag, which will make closing the
container much easier.
3.
Pull out the connecting tape, tighten it and
place it in the direction of the upper right
corner of the main parachute container.

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.
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.
