SKY SYSTEM 3
4) There are folding loops, situated nearly midway down the
canopy where the panels have been stitched. A tie should be
passed through these loops and the parachute stretched out.
5) Separate the two outer lines (the outside lines on the riser)
and lay them on the comb. Flake the canopy, starting with the
lower panel on the right (panel 16), arranging it neatly.
6) Successively arrange all the panels on the right, one on top of
the other. Repeat this process with the panels on the left side,
starting with panel 1.
7) Ensure that the number of panels on each side is identical
and matching with the total amount of panels of the SPECIFIC
model. Take the time to verify that the leading edge is perfectly
aligned.
8) Lift the upper line to make sure that the folds are neat along
the whole length of the panels and that the wind channel is
clear right up to the apex of the canopy.
9) Control both the lower and upper lines, ensuring that they run
freely from the canopy to the riser(s).
10) S-fold the left side of the canopy under the centre of the
chute, then S-fold the right side of the canopy on to the centre
of the chute. Keep the canopy neatly folded using sandbags.
11) Release the tension on the canopy and
IMMEDIATELY
take
off the tie which is holding the folding loops together. For safety
reasons, this procedure should
ensure that this tie cannot be
inadvertently left in place
on the folded chute (SEE inventory
list).
12) Slide the CONTAINER under the base of the chute, so that
the flap with the elastic is under the canopy.
