User Instructions
IMPORTANT: This is not an alternative to a
first jump course.
To active the main deployment process, the main pilot
chute must be placed in the air stream.
Helpful Hint: The best body position to perform the main
pilot chute deployment is with the left hand above the
head with the right hand firmly grasping the handle,
while maintaining a good arched body position. [Fig.7]
Toss the main pilot chute into the air stream located
next to your body.
To breakaway from the main risers using the single
point 3-ring release you must first look and locate the
breakaway handle on the users right side of the har-
ness. Second, grasp the handle with your right hand
and use your left hand for assistance as needed. [Fig.8]
Peel the handle from the Velcro pocket. Using both
hands pull the breakaway handle down. [Fig.9] Use
your left hand to strip the cables from the housing,
insuring a complete release of the cable from the 3-ring
system. Throw the breakaway handle away.
IMPORTANT: Loose breakaway cables have
entangled with jumpers and reserve canopies during
deployment. Throwing the handle away helps prevent
that mishap.
Helpful Hint: Before pulling the breakaway handle, look
and locate the reserve ripcord. Harnesses and handles
tend to shift during an emergency breakaway.
To activate the reserve, look and locate the reserve rip-
cord on the users left side of the harness. Grasp the
reserve ripcord with your left hand. [Fig.10] Use your
right hand for assistance. Pull the reserve ripcord out
and down from the velcro pocket. [Fig.11] For those
who use a soft reserve ripcord, first peel the reserve rip-
cord from the Velcro pocket, and then pull down. With
both handle types the right hand should strip the
reserve handle cable from the housing. This insures
that the reserve pin has been pulled.
IMPORTANT: Loose reserve cables have entangled
with jumpers and reserve canopies during deployment.
Throwing the handle away helps prevent this mishap.
