UMPING
After receiving your new Quasar II, inspect its contents to ensure that no components are
missing. A detailed list of components can be found on page 5 of the Quasar II Owner’s Manual.
Then thoroughly inspect the rig before beginning assembly. Is it the same color pattern that you
ordered? Are the main and reserve containers sized properly to fit your canopies? To check this, con-
sult the canopy compatibility chart on page 8. Look at all of the stitching, especially at the harness
junctions. In the unlikely event that you find anything out of the ordinary, please contact Strong
Enterprises immediately. Your business is important to us and we want you to be satisfied with your
purchase.

The following information is provided as a general guideline and is not intended to be used

and the canopies contained therein.

DJUSTING
1. If the rig is equipped with step-in style leg strap adapters, first ensure that the straps are adjusted
all the way out and not twisted, then step through the leg straps.
If equipped with B-12 snaps,unhook them and let them hang free.
2. Now lift the rig up by its main lift web and put it on as you would a coat.
3. Thread the chest strap through its friction adapter and tighten until both main lift webs are paral-
lel with each other. Be sure it is not routed through the reserve ripcord handle.
4. Stow the excess chest strap in the supplied elastic keeper.
5. B-12 SNAPS ONLY. Route the leg straps between your legs, removing all twists and fasten the
snaps to their V-rings.
6. Tighten the leg straps evenly
until they are snug but not uncom-
fortable and stow their excess web-
bing in the pocket at the end of
each leg pad. You are now ready for
a pre-jump equipment check.
Note:
Be sure that the straps are threaded through the adapters exactly as shown or they may not
hold.
