OWNERS MANUAL STUDENT CANOPY COMMODORE

OPERATION

The canopy should be inspected and assembled only by the certified rigger.

Before assembling the canopy to your system, inspect the canopy, lines and soft links.
Make sure, that particular canopy can be used with the given container and deployment system.

Recommended assembly sequence:

1. Lay down container with the risers next to the canopy. Place the Canopy with the bottom skin 

– up, facing container with its leading edge.

2. Bring the pack of lines to the container and spread the lines straight with the steering lines on 

top.

3. Fix each group of lines to the respective riser with the soft link. Do not tighten the connectors 

up at this moment.

4. Ensure the correct assembling of the slider – the reinforcement tape should be facing the 

canopy should be facing the trailing edge of the canopy.

5. Spread the steering lines so that they pass directly from the trailing edge of the canopy 

through the slider grommets and guiding rings of the back risers without twisting the other 
lines.

6. Connect the toggles to the steering lines (please refer to the manufacturer’s manual of your 

container).
