• If your inner container has an
asymmetrically located
attachment loop for the
deployment handle make sure
that you turn the inner container in
such a way that the attachment
loop is orientated towards the
direction of the deployment pull.
Failing to do so may render your
parachute un-deployable
•
Also make sure that the
connection between handle and
pin is shorter than between handle
and inner container. If the
opposite is the case you may find
yourself pulling on the container
when attempting to deploy,
without releasing the pin
•
Attach the deployment handle in
such a way that the connection
band is not fully stretched out –
this could result in involuntary
deployment because the pin could
get pulled out
•
After each repack the whole
system must be tested and tried;
see “Compatibility check” above!
If you are in any way insecure about
the installing of your reserve parachute
please leave it to trained professionals
to do. Mounting a reserve parachute
wrongly may severely compromise
your safety in the event of a glider
mishap.

In order to eliminate the risk of
accidental deployments the German
air sports authorities stipulate a
minimum deployment force of 20N to
extract the pins. If your parachute does
not reach this value a safety rupture
thread must be installed. The purpose
of the thread is to ensure a minimum
deployment force of 20N. The thread is
threaded through the eye of the
closing pin and the closing loop and
secured with a knot and an anti-tamper
seal (see illustration).
The following materials are
recommended for use as safety
rupture threads:
Seals for emergency parachutes
NSN: 8310-01-493-6030
4 Cord Cotton –Intrinsic 24
Breaking load: 4,70 to 4,75 lbs – 21

The thread, locking
pin and the proper installation of
the inner container should be
checked before each flight.
Use only suitable thread – it
must not be too strong!

When pulling the deployment handle
the first thing to give is the cotton
thread. Then the locking pin is pulled
out and the outer container opens. The
deployment handle is attached to the
inner container through the connection
strap and allows the pilot to forcefully
throw the reserve in the desired
direction, away from the main canopy.
