2.
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.
3.
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.

4.
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.
5.
Pull out the static line (2), tighten it and place it
between flaps Nos. 2 and 3. of the main
parachute container.
6.
Using the temporary closing line, thread the
closing loop through the eye of flap No. 2.
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.
7.
Thread the temporary closing line through the
eye of flap No. 3, and thread the closing loop
through it.

8.
Thread the temporary closing line through flap
No. 4, thread the closing loop through it, and
place BOTH closing lines in the loop making
sure that the static line is free of twists and
turns.
The closing line clasp should not touch the
eye of the flap.
The static line placed between the closing pin
and the length concealed under flap No. 3
should have enough slack for closing lines to
be pulled freely out of the closing loop.
9.
Remove the temporary closing line with a
smooth and slow movement making sure that
it remains between closing lines as you do it.
This prevents wear to the closing loop and
closing lines, and extends their usable life.
