The
Telesis 2
begins its life as one of the finest pieces of parachute equipment you can buy. It is up to the
owner to maintain it in top condition. Below are certain areas that you and/or your rigger should check on a
regular basis to ensure proper operation and long life of your equipment.
Before Each Jump You Should Check:
1. All ripcord and 3-Ring™ housings for tackings, damage or obstructions.
2. Reserve ripcord pins, cables, handles and pockets for proper seating, wear and/or damage.
3. Main deployment activation devices (BOC, TOP, and Ripcord) for wear and placement. Also
check routing of bridles for twists, etc.
4. Main risers routed smoothly over the shoulder and riser covers closed properly.
5. 3-Ring™ release mechanism assembled properly and excess cable stowed properly.
6. All harness webbing and hardware for wear or damage.
7. All flaps closed in proper sequence and tucked in.
Note:
IF ANY WEAR OR UNUSUAL CONDITION IS FOUND, CONSULT RIGGING INNOVATIONS, INC. OR A QUALIFIED
PARACHUTE RIGGER IMMEDIATELY!
After Putting Your Rig On, Check:
1. Reserve ripcord handle secure in its pocket.
2. Chest strap is properly threaded and free end secured.
3. Leg straps are properly threaded and free ends are stowed. Floating leg pads positioned for best
comfort.
