Seek assistance of a certified rigger if you feel you cannot perform the following steps cor-
rectly. This rigger or yourself must follow precisely the following steps in order to perform a
correct and safe assembly of your canopy on your harness/container.
Your range canopy is delivered with lines ready to be mounted on your soft links, and each
group of lines and both steering lines are installed on a dedicated plastic sheet. Soft links are
delivered separately. To avoid any misrouting, you must route each soft lik through each
corresponding line before disconnecting the lines from the plastic sheet.
At this stage mount the soft links on your risers making sure to respect each left and right front
groups and left and right rear groups. As soon as assembly is done, check if lines routing is cor-
rect and if each line is at the right place inside each group. Do not forget to have each steer-
ing line going through the right slider grommet. Left rear grommet for the left steering line and
right rear grommet for the right steering line.
Assembly of steering lines to your toggles is up to your harness/container brand. So, report to
your owner’s guide for such instructions.
To proceed correctly, report to your harness/container owner’s guide and follow the following
steps.
You will find three marks on the lower steering lines (under the brake loop):
- Higher mark is a short setting and canopy will react quickly (short).
- Medium mark is a neutral setting and give a bit of delay before reacting (neutral).
- Lower mark is a long setting and give a delay before reacting (long).
Make sure to choose the right setting according to your needs and
technical level of flight. We are recommanding you to start with the neutral setting for the first
jumps and to adjust later a more appropriate toggle setting, once you have understood how the
canopy is flying. To do so, start making a knot. Once you have set the right length, proceed to a
finger trapping secured by a bartack seam.
