MAIN CANOPY ASSEMBLY AND PACKING PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION

The Vector 3 is compatible with almost every ram-air canopy in use today. The Vector 3 is available with a variety of
main container sizes. Consult with the Relative Workshop or your dealer to ensure compatibility between the pack
volume of your main canopy and your Vector 3. Failure to follow manufacturers recommendations regarding proper
canopy sizing (i.e., using oversized or undersized canopy volumes) may create a situation such as a pilot-chute-in-tow
or a premature opening of the main container.

This manual does NOT provide specific packing instructions for the various main canopies on the market. It is the
responsibility of the owner to obtain canopy packing information from the canopy owner’s manual. This manual will,
however, walk you through the steps necessary to pack your canopy from the point it is inside the main deployment
bag until the container is closed and pilot chute is packed.

ATTACHING THE MAIN CANOPY TO THE MAIN RISERS

Carefully inspect the main canopy for wear or manufacturing defects.

USING SOFT LINKS

Follow manufacturers instructions on installation of the soft links.

Attach the main canopy to the main risers

(included with the Vector 3) following the
canopy manufacturer’s instructions.
Double-check the orientation of the canopy
and the continuity of the lines. Check that
the links are tightened securely and
correctly. Leaving the risers attached to the
harness while attaching the canopy will help
minimize confusion.
