Packing of two-pin Pop Top reserve containers
When packing a two-pin Pop Top System
•
Make sure that a Running loop has been installed.
•
Use only original CYPRES loops (delivered with the unit).
•
Impregnate the Running loop completely with silicone.
The Running loop
The Running loop has the characteristic that even when you pull only one of the two
pins, the pilotchute will launch. The free end of the running loop slips through the
channel in the pilotchute. The loop is NOT fixed on the pilotchute top. It runs in the
running loop channel, which is provided with every 2-pin CYPRES installation set.
The running loop is easy to change (just pull a new one through).
A 16cm (ca.6,3in.) running loop housing is supplied with every 2-pin CYPRES.
Should you require a housing of different length please contact Airtec for immediate
delivery.
When making your own housings ensure that the ends are not cut with a hot knife.
This leaves a sharp edge and can damage the running loop. The ends should be
folded back and sewn in place in exactly the same way as on those supplied by Airtec.
Handstitch the running loop housing to the top disc of the pilot chute with strong wax
thread. Cross-stitch all four corners.
