8.1

The Para-Cushion Model 304

Seat has a pilot chute cap with a

Spandura® Rim. This Spandura®

Rim is hand-tacked to the top of the

pilot chute at 90º angles to the loop

openings. By snipping this hand

tacking, you can easily remove the

cap and lift it off.

8.2

Once the cap is removed, remove the

loop by snipping the hand tacking.

Install a new locking loop by hand

tacking the Type 4 tape to the pilot

chute top, (do not hand tack the

canopy of the pilot chute) followed

by a good surgeon’s knot. Position

new loop so that Type 4 is between

loop material and pilot chute.

Note!

Pilot chute loop must

be placed as close to

dead center as possible.

Being off even a couple

of degrees may cause

the pilot chute to sit

improperly on the

packed container.

8.3

If you are replacing the cap, you

must make two small holes where

the loops will come through the

Spandura. Do this near the seam in

the binding tape.

8. Changing the Pilot Chute Loop and Cap
