Packing the Reserve Container
Fold reserve canopy fabric around the back and under
flap !" as shown# Draw !" closing flap to !$ reserve
pilot chute# Remove and replace temporary pin#
[Fig# "%]
Helpful Hint: Remember to remove the temporary pin
once the grommets are touching# With adequate
pressure to contain the pilot chute& the temporary pin
can be removed and repositioned to the !" closing flap#
Once !" flap is pinned& force the pilot chute down into
the freebag# Ensure that the reserve pilot chute coils
are all in line# [Fig# "']
Helpful Hint: Placing your foot on the !" closing flap
while pulling up on the !( and !) side flaps works the
canopy into the corners and away from the closing
loop# This is important for bulk distribution and proper
pilot chute seating and should be repeated often# Main
riser covers may be used after reserve side flaps are
closed#

Thread the pull up cord through both !( and !) closing
flaps# While using the leverage bar draw !( and !)
grommets towards the center# Do not remove tempo*
rary pin yet# [Fig# "$]
Important:
Do not force grommets into center# Work
gradually using the helpful hint technique
Helpful Hint: While pulling both side flaps toward the
center& firmly slap the !) reserve side wall seam# This
method will gradually move the grommet closer to the
center without damaging the container# Working both
side flaps together will also help keep the reserve
container symmetrical#
