4.2 Round Canopy Packing Instructions
Prior to installing and packing any canopy into the Softie, the rigger must thoroughly read and
understand these instructions. The Rigger must also make the determination of proper compatibil-
ity regarding volume, deployment type and placard information. Only those canopies that have been
assigned a weight and speed limitation by the manufacturer are approved for use in the Softie. Refer
to Section 3.3 - Softie Volume Chart and Section 3.8 - Parachute Industry Weight / Deployment
Speed Limitations for installation of proper canopy for customer needs.
If you should have any questions as to compatibility or weight and speed limitations, call Para-
Phernalia, Inc. at (360) 435-7220 or FAX (360) 435-7272.
NOTE:
Minimum qualification; FAA Senior or Master Parachute Rigger or foreign equivalent.
