Packing of one-pin reserve containers
When packing a one-pin reserve container in which CYPRES has been installed, be
sure to note these important points:
•
Use only original silicone impregnated CYPRES loops and original CYPRES discs
(delivered with the unit.). The loops provided by Airtec are impregnated on the
first 2". The use of thicker loops could prevent proper functioning of the system.
•
Use only the original CYPRES pull-ups (delivered with the unit.)
Apart from these instructions, follow all other regular packing procedures described
by your system manufacturer.
In order to avoid wear between loop, bottom disc and knot where the loop attaches
to one-pin containers, we have developed a new technique for affixing the loop.
This technique utilizes a metal disc with three holes together with a special knotting
technique.
Installation using this technique will not take significantly longer than the procedure
previously used, with the added advantage that the entire loop system will have a
higher tensile strength.
Every CYPRES intended for installation on one-pin containers is shipped with two of
these special discs and three prepared loops. Follow these instructions for attaching
the loops to the discs:
a) pass the loop cord through the central hole and mark the desired length with a
pen
b) route the cord back through one of the outside holes
c)
and upwards again through the third hole
d) hold the disc between the index and the second finger and trap the spare cord
with the thumb. Pass a pen through the loop and sharply pull the whole loop cord
twice to prestrech the material. Re-align the pen mark with the disc and knot the
cord as shown in sketch e
e) make one further knot as shown in sketch f to prevent slippage
f )
the looped end of the CYPRES loop should be impregnated with silicone except
for 1/2" next to the disc.
! Caution: Don't use other knots than suggested !
