6 INSTALLING THE RESERVE CHUTE
The BREEZE can be combined with most compact reserve chutes. The reserve chute
may only be integrated in the outer container together with the supplied deploy-
ment bag, keeping aware of the maximum volume of the reserve chute. The maxi-
mum allowed volume must not be exceeded, otherwise a correct deployment cannot
be guaranteed. The initial installation of the reserve chute must be carried out by an
approved compatibility technician. This verifies the deployability of the reserve chute
and certifies its compatibility on the reserve chute’s packing and inspection docu-
ment.
It is very important that the test release of the rescue device is carried out by the
pilot himself sitting in the harness in a harness simulator, as different physiques and
forces affect its deployability. Before installation, you must first check whether the
reserve chute needs to be repacked.
Connecting the reserve chute with the harness
1. Remove your reserve chute from the standard deployment bag and place it in the
open deployment bag of the BREEZE.
2. Make sure that the lines are arranged as in the picture to the left.
Leave about 10 cm of the lines free and close the four leaves of the deployment bag
beginning with the top (picture right).
3. Secure the elastic loop with the bundle of lines
and make sure that the loop is max. 3 cm long.

4. Now you can connect the V-lines of the BREEZE with the lanyard of your reserve
chute. To connect the reserve chute to the V-line, you must use a screw shackle
with at least 2400 daN strength. The lines have to be connected on both sides of
the screw shackle and must be secured with rubber bands (pic 1).
As an alternative, you can connect the two lines with softlinks if the size of the
loop on the reserve chute allows this (pic 2). Looping your reserve chute with the
V-lines is reliable and safe using skywalk products when you comply with condi-
tions such as maximum tightening of the straps and looping in the center.
We cannot make a binding statement about the strength behavior when looping
ith reserve chutes of other manufacturers.
