1) Flake the canopy out on its side
until all seven T seams (where the
non-loaded ribs meet the top
skins) are straight from leading
edge to trailing edge as shown. Set
the deployment brakes according
to the container manufacturer’s
instructions.
2) Crouch next to the risers and face
the canopy. Be sure there are no
twists in the risers. Slip the fingers
of your left hand between each left
hand riser and between the left
hand steering line and the risers. Do
the same with your right hand. Slide
your fingers up onto the lines as
shown, grasping the lines below the
slider.
3) Start moving up the lines,
allowing them to slide between your
fingers. Push the slider ahead of
you until you reach the bottom of
the canopy. Carefully lift the canopy
off of the ground. Make sure the
lines are not twisted and the
canopy is facing the correct
direction. The nose openings should
be facing the rig, and the tail should
be farthest from the rig.
Step outside of the lines and
transfer the lines to one hand so
that the left and right sides of the
canopy hang at the same height.
