9. Repacking of reserves
The following tips are only brief suggestions.
Please contact the harness/container manu-
facturer for advice and detailed packing in-
structions for riggers (packers or equivalent)
concerning the CYPRES AAD Installation and
rigging specications.
General:
The reserve container closing loop must be under
tension, caused by the pilot chute spring, of at least
10 pounds (approx. 5 kg).
Please closely check the grommets at each repack.
Grommets with rough edges ultimately will destroy
any loop. Replace damaged grommets immedi-
ately. Use original CYPRES loops / loop material,
pull ups, and discs when a CYPRES is installed
in the container. Even if you do not have an AAD
in your container, a CYPRES loop will markedly
improve your safety. The use of CYPRES ac-
cessories (loops, discs, setups) with other brand
AADs is prohibited as we have not performed any
compatibility tests.
LOR-loops for Parachute de France rigs are an
original PdF spare part and can be purchased only
from PdF dealers. Non adjustable loops which are
attached to a CYPRES disc and are mounted in
containers with internal pilot chute should be re-
placed at each repack. After attachment to the disc,
CYPRES loops should be treated with CYPRES
loop silicone on the upper 4 centimeters. The loops
provided by Airtec are impregnated on the rst 4
centimeters already.
