• Locate the top centre gore of the canopy. Divide the suspension lines
into two groups (lines 1 to 8/12 in the left group and lines 9/16 to 13/24
in the right group).
• Straighten the lines and remove any knots, tangles or twists.

• Thorough product assembly.
• Operational fitness.
• Correct folds and markings.
• Debris and stains.

the following criteria, as applicable:
• Metal:
Inspection for rust, corrosion, dents, bends, breaks, burrs, rough
spots, sharp edges, wear, deterioration; damaged, loose or missing
eyelets, closing pins, loss of spring tension.
• Cloth:
Inspection for burns, cuts, frays, holes, rips, snags, tears; loose, mis
