No 22) is on the top of the left side. Now connect the main bridle in the same way
you did with the other end at the top and tension it (Photo 9).
7. Make sure the bottom of the canopy forms one base (Photo 10). Now lay the
panels very neat and check them. With one hand you hold the bottom-lines together
to keep the bottom of the canopy in one base. With the other hand you take always
one panel, sleek it and count it to the other side. The helping person stands at the
other side at the top and takes the same panel, sleeks it and same time takes care
for a correct position (Photo 11). First count all panels to one side and then back to
the other side (Photo 12). Only then you make two halfs that there are half of the
panels on each side (Photo 10).
8. Now you fold about one third of each side in an angle of 45 degrees (Photo 13).
Then divide the canopy into three thirds. First lay the left part to the inside by one
third (Photo 14). After that you fold the right over it (Photo 15). The bottom-lines
should be in the middle of the base (bottom-edge of the canopy). Now the base
should be as wide as the inner container, in which the chute is packed later on.
9. Release the tension by releasing the tension belt at the packing-loops. Pull the
spare-line out of the packing-loops (Photo 16).
Do not forget to remove the spare-line; otherwise the chute will not open!
10. Now the bottom-lines are put in S-loops. The S-loops have to be as wide as the
base. With special packing-rubbers (15 x 1 x 1 mm) fix the five ends of the loops
(Photo 17). It is important that the bottom-lines keep the same length and lie flat. The
free part of the lines remains for the closure of the container.
11. Then put the inner container into a position to the chute that the double-leaf faces
the base (Photo 18). Now you can start to pack the inner container (Photos 19/20).
12. Fold the chute in S-loops; the first S-loop should include the base and the
bundled lines and should have the same width like the other S-loops (Photo 19/20).
13. Turn around the chute by 180° (turn it that it lies on the top) and put it into the
inner container that the lines are on top (Photo 21).
14. Now start to close the container. First you close the leaf with the smaller eye. The
rubber band is pulled through the eye from the inside. Make sure that the rubber knot
has enough size that it cannot move through the eye even if you pull it. Maybe you
have to strengthen the knot with a washer. Now close the opposite leaf and pull the
rubber band through the eye by using a spare-line (Photo 22).
15. Then the leaf has to be closed on which the lines run out of the container (Photo
23). It is important that you hold on to this sequence because nothing should work
against the pulling direction during the opening.
16. After you have closed the container with the fourth leaf, bolt it by blocking the
rubber band by the lines (Photo 24). Test the tension of the rubber band. If it is too
loose it is too easy to open the bolt; if it is too strong it will be too hard to open.
17. Now close the second part of the double leaf. First pull the packing rubber in the
middle through the middle eye. (Photo 25). The packing rubbers on the right and left
side are now pulled through the eyes in the cover and each has to be fixed with a S-
loop of the bottom-lines (about 3cm) (Photo 26/27).
