FIREBIRD, Am Tower 16, 54634 Bitburg
9.
Be careful when pulling the tail around the
rest of the canopy, so that the steering lines and
cascades stay in the middle and DON‘T go
around the canopy. Otherwise this could lead
to a line-over situation upon opening, which in
turn could result in a malfunction or severely
damaged canopy.
Take both sides of the tail in one hand and roll
them several times towards the center of the
canopy. Pay attention that the canopy fabric
stays taut while being rolled, so that it rolls up to
the base.
Then gently ease the evenly finished rolled tail
toward the center cell of the canopy nose.
10.
With your free hand, reach under the
middle of the entire bundled canopy. Use a litt-
le forward swing to carefully lay this "cocoon“
out on a flat surface. Pay attention that the sus-
pension lines remain taut and that the cocoon
stays together.
