Re-inspection interval: 24 months, after which a complete inspection of the rescue system is required. This includes a
thorough and complete visual inspection of all components. The re-inspection must be noted in the epack and inspection
Logbook.

This prevents an unwanted, early opening. This minimises the risk of snagging on the paraglider / pilot or the reason

6.ControlandInspectionoftheparachute
Before repacking the rescue system it must be checked by the packer and must be sufficiently ventilated. If the parachute
has been opened by a rescue deployment, it must be subjected to a full inspection either by the manufacturer or by a
companyauthorisedbythemanufacturer.
After repacking, as well as before each flight, it must be ensured that the release force of the locking system of the outer
containerisbetween2daNand7daN.

The inspection includes a complete visual check of all components (cloth, seams, lines, straps) for damage and wear.

7.Behaviourincaseofdamage
If damage is found during the inspection of the rescue system, the parachute must be sent to the manufacturer for
assessment/repair. This also applies to damage whose effects on the airworthiness of the system cannot be clearly
determined.
Caution:Chemicals, cleaning agents, insects, mould stains andthelike can have just as negative aneffect onthestrength
ofthecomponentsasmechanicaldamage.
8.Storage
Oils, greases, acids and paints must not be stored in the immediate vicinity of the parachute. The room should be dry.

1. Put on all packing loops with a cord and hang them up.
The number and position of the packing loops can be seen

3a.Versionwithshackle:
Connect the parachute bridle and Y-bridle with a shakle.
Note: the strength of the shackle must be higher than 2400
daN. The connection must be centered in the field of the
protection fabric (yellow arrow) and secured against
slipping(egbyaneoprenesleeve).
3b.Version“bridletobridle”:
Connect the parachute bridle and Y-bridle by looping with
each other. The connection must be centered in the field of
the protection fabric (yellow arrow) and secured against
slipping(egbyaneoprenesleeve).
4.Putapackingcordleftandrightintheloops. 5. Put the packing cords through the eyelets of the bottom
flapofthecontainer.
17. Mounting in a front container (optional)
1. Connect the release handle at the loop in the middle of
thedeploymentbag(flatside)bylooping. 2. Fix the Y-bridle in the required position on the front container by using the velcro strips. Connect the parachute
bridle with the Y-bridle of the front container (for details see
No.3)
neoprene sleeve for
fixation protection fabric neoprene sleeve for fixation protection fabric
6. Close the bottom flap and secure provisionally with the
pinsofthereleasehandle. 7.Putthepackingcordsthroughtheeyeletsofthetopflap.
8. Close the top flap and secure with the pins of the release
handle. Stick the release handle under the handle cover
andremovepackingcords.
Take care that the handle - deployment bag connection
(arrow) is long enough that the pins will unlock the flaps.
Record the repack, if needed the compatibility check in the
rescuesystemlogbook.
9. By shortenting the straps the parachute can be
compressed(greenarrows).
The ends of the Y-bridle are to be hooked into the main
carabinersoftheharness.
Byusingtheadjustersoftheblackbelts(yellowarrows)the
front container can be positioned (height) on the harness
(dependingonthewidthofthechestbelt).
With the belt (blue arrows) the front container can be
additionally fixed left and right on the harness main
suspenion.

Note: the strength of the shackle must be higher than 2400
daN. The connection must be centered in the field of the
protection fabric (yellow arrow) and secured against
slipping(egbyaneoprenesleeve).
3b.Version“bridletobridle”:
Connect the parachute bridle and Y-bridle by looping with
each other. The connection must be centered in the field of
the protection fabric (yellow arrow) and secured against
slipping(egbyaneoprenesleeve).
4.Putapackingcordleftandrightintheloops. 5. Put the packing cords through the eyelets of the bottom
flapofthecontainer.
17. Mounting in a front container (optional)
1. Connect the release handle at the loop in the middle of
thedeploymentbag(flatside)bylooping. 2. Fix the Y-bridle in the required position on the front container by using the velcro strips. Connect the parachute
bridle with the Y-bridle of the front container (for details see
No.3)

6. Close the bottom flap and secure provisionally with the
pinsofthereleasehandle. 7.Putthepackingcordsthroughtheeyeletsofthetopflap.
8. Close the top flap and secure with the pins of the release
handle. Stick the release handle under the handle cover
andremovepackingcords.
Take care that the handle - deployment bag connection
(arrow) is long enough that the pins will unlock the flaps.
Record the repack, if needed the compatibility check in the
rescuesystemlogbook.
9. By shortenting the straps the parachute can be
compressed(greenarrows).
The ends of the Y-bridle are to be hooked into the main
carabinersoftheharness.
Byusingtheadjustersoftheblackbelts(yellowarrows)the
front container can be positioned (height) on the harness
(dependingonthewidthofthechestbelt).
With the belt (blue arrows) the front container can be
additionally fixed left and right on the harness main
suspenion.

Attention:
If the parachute is mounted to a harness or a front/outer container you have to check the compatibility. This check is only
allowed to be done by therefore authorizied persons. The compatibility check have to be noticed in the “Repack and
inspectionlogbook”.
Beside some other points you have to take care particularly that the connection length of the release handle to the
deployment bag is minimized. Therefore different loops are at the deployment bag where the release handle can be
attached.You shouldalwaystry tousethe shortestpossible connection toensure that therescue parachute canbe thrown
