WARNING - Before Packing:

Note: There is no RSL guide Ring on flap #6 on
Skyhook equipped rigs. Make sure the RSL
guide ring has been removed on converted
rigs. It was never really necessary, and
someone might pass the Skyhook lanyard
through it someday, causing a reserve total.

Make sure the left hand (exposed) yellow
breakaway cable passes through the yellow
Collins Lanyard loop at the end of the RSL. The
Skyhook should not be used without a Collins’
lanyard.

Make sure that the Skyhook is sewn to the
reserve free-bag bridle correctly, with the
pointed end of the hook facing toward the
bag. If the Skyhook were sewn on the bridle
facing the wrong way, a reserve pilot chute
in tow would result if the reserve were
pulled in response to a main total. (This
pilot chute in tow could be cleared by
pulling the yellow tab to release the RSL.)
Remember, this malfunction can only occur
if the Skyhook is SEWN to the bridle upside-
down.
It cannot be caused by a packing error.
