MANUAL OVERRIDE DEPLOYMENT (MOD) HANDLE
The
Telesis 2
AFF M.O.D. or Manual Over-ride Deployment handle
was first introduced on the Telesis system. The MOD is a backup
main ripcord mounted on the lower left corner of the main container.
This allows the reserve side jumpmaster on an AFF jump to easily
deploy the main parachute. Because the AFF/M.O.D. handle is a
completely separate component, it may be left off the assembly when
the
Telesis 2
is used in a normal freefall or static line mode.
To install the handle:
Step 1
Mate the ring end of the handle lanyard with the small piece of
Velcro located just below the grommet on the left main flap.
(
Figure 19
)
Step 2
Make a full twist in the lanyard between the two sections of
Velcro and mate the long piece of hook to the corresponding piece of
loop Velcro on the underside edge of the left main flap. (
Figure 20
)
Step 3
Reach into the pocket on the left corner of the main container
and pull out the handle mounting flap with the hook Velcro on it.
(
Figure 21)
Mate the handle to the mounting flap and then tuck the
handle into the pocket so it is held securely. (
Figure 22
)
Step 4
Close the container in the numbered sequence. #1 - Bottom;
#2 - Top; #3 - Right side; #4 - Left side. Insert black coated ripcord
cable through M.O.D. ring, if so equipped, then through the main
closing loop. Tuck the excess cable under the left side container flap.
