Assembly 

 

Your canopy should be assembled by a properly certified rigger. Before you begin, be sure the 

risers, toggles, bridle, deployment bag, pilot chute, harness, container and 
other items are compatible with your SONIC canopy and each other. 

 
Some toggles, for example will not work properly on certain type of risers. 
 
Assemble your system in accordance with the owner´s manual for your rig. 
 
The instructions below are for attaching toggles that have a grommet in the center to canopies 

with Vectran lines. If another type of toggle is used consult the container manufacturer for 
proper installation.  

 
Two common problems that may happen if the toggles are installed improperly are 
 

a)

 

 the toggle knot getting caught on the guide ring and, 

 

b) the knot slipping 

 

Be sure that your installation is safe. The container manufacturers instructions may not be 

compatible with this canopy. 

 

 

Periodic Inspection Procedure 

 

(Performed at assembly and after every 50 jumps or 120 days, whichever comes first.) 
 
As mentioned above, your Sonic canopy must be inspected thoroughly before it is jumped the 

first time and periodically thereafter. This procedure is more thorough than the inspection which 
should be completed each time the parachute is packed. 

 
You or your rigger should inspect your parachute system in a clean, well-lighted area that will 

allow you to spread the main canopy out.
