39.4.5.2 Rigging the basket and burner
Add the following:
A single stainless steel karabiner with working load of 900 kg (1984 lb) may be
used on each corner of the burner frame to attach the flying wires from the
envelope. Those karabiners shall be properly engraved and must be supplied or
approved by Ultramagic.
39.4.5.5 Mounting the ‘Tekno’ Basket
The ‘Tekno’ basket is supplied with a transportation bag specially designed to
protect the components during handling and storage, as well as to allow a neat
organization of its parts. When the basket must be mounted, proceed as follows:
- Deploy the body of the basket over a flat surface. Make sure that the
basket floor is underneath.
- Take 8 white rods from the bag and fit each end in the sockets of the
basket bottom structure.
- Lift up the top frame and position the upper end of the rods in its sockets.
- With the main structure up, unfold the wall panels out of the basket, and
put the fuel cylinders into the basket.
- A set of 8 tapes fitted with buckles is provided.
- Pass each tape diagonally joining two opposite corner eyelets, leaving
them a bit loose. Make sure that their buckles are not entangled. Repeat
the operation with all the tapes. Finally firmly tighten the 8 tapes.
- Using the harness arrangement provided, attach firmly the cylinders to the
corners as per 39.2.13(2), paying attention to the balance of the basket.
Secure the two carbine hooks to the bottom corner brackets.
- Lift the panels up and attach them around the top frame by means of the
two Velcro tapes provided. Make sure the panel and the fixings are tight.
- Unfold the corner covers of each straight panel and tighten them over the
walls of the long side by using the Velcro bands.
CAUTION: The whole structure must remain inside the boundary formed by
the fabric walls, with the exception of the external fitting for fuel cylinders.
- Proceed with the rigging as per section 4.5.2 of the Flight Manual.

39.4.11.5 Installation of external cylinders (optional)
If the ‘Tekno’ basket is provided with external attachments for fuel
cylinders, pilot may install up to 4 cylinders on them. To install the fuel cylinders
refer to Figure 2 and proceed as follows:
- Make sure that the cylinder support brackets located at the basket bottom
edge are not damaged and are firmly secured to the basket sockets.
- Place each cylinder over a bracket checking that the bracket hook joins
the cylinder bottom ring.
- For CT-02 external fuel cylinders attachment, place and secure the
padded spacer provided.
- Secure all cylinder suspension straps through their Carbine hook to the
ring placed at the end of the strap. Make sure that the cylinder top ring is
secured.
- Fasten the horizontal straps around the cylinders installed on one side of
the basket. Note that these straps must be passed through the holes of the
basket corners, lacing the cylinders to the adjacent wall and nylon rods.
NOTE: Observe the limitations listed on 39.2.13.
Information regarding the assembly or removal of the external support
brackets may be found in Supplement 18 to the Ultramagic Maintenance Manual.
