After each installation of a rescue chute in a frontcontainer a compatibility test is necessary. In order to do that, hang the harness,
e uipped ready for flight. Seat down in the harness and assume your usual position in flight.. Grab the frontcontainer release handle
and pull it to the side in a resolute effort, so that the parachute is completely out of the container. Still, do not throw it away, so that
the bag remains closed. If the trial was successful, put the rescue chute back into the frontcontainer.

The frontcontainer is simp y mounted by c ipping the ends of the V-strap to the carabiners.Loops on the V-strap ends do
simu taneous y fix the frontcontainer itse f. Then adjust position of the frontcontainer by p astic buck es (see picture be ow).

Before installing the frontcontainer in the harness, make sure that the carabiners are pointing backwartds with their locks. The loops
of the V-riser must be able to freely move to the top of the carabiner without interfering with the locks. The frontcontainer should
be clipped in the carabiners after closing the breast strap, but before the risers of the paraglider.
