Packing the Reserve Container

Using a leverage bar with the pull up cord for leverage,

pull the closing loop up through the #2 Pilot chute cap

closing sequence. Pin using the temporary closing pin.

[Fig. 28]

IMPORTANT: There should not be pilot chute fabric

inside of the compressed coils of the spring.

Helpful Hint: If an actual leverage bar is not available, a

wrench or packing paddle can be used.

After pilot chute cap is pinned, force the pilot chute

down into the reserve freebag. [Fig. 29]

Helpful Hint: Placing your foot on the #2 reserve pilot

chute while pulling up on the #4 and #5 side flaps,

works the canopy into the corners and away from the

closing loop. This is important for bulk distribution and

proper pilot chute seating and should be repeated often.

Main riser covers may be used after reserve side flaps

are closed.

Accordion fold both halves of the pilot chute canopy,

making one long tube. Thread pull up cord through flap
