maximum tightening of the straps
and looping in the center.
We cannot make a binding statement
about the strength behavior when
looping with reserve chutes of other
manufacturers.
3. Finally, secure the connection with
the cover by placing the cover cen-
trally over the connection.
INSTALLING THE RESERVE CHUTE
1. Place the rescue with the lines
looking upwards in the rescue com-
partment of the RANGE X-ALPS3
and the V-line untwisted next to it.
Guide the V-line upwards in the
lateral channel. The rescue handle
is pointing to the right side in flight
direction.
2. Guide the zipper slider counter the
actual funtional direction to the
opening of the rescue compartment
until the slider touches the stopper
and place the connection strap of the
inner container between the stopper
of the zipper and the loop on the
front container, so that the rescue is
in the rescue compartment and the
handle is on the outside of the har-
ness. The zipper must remain in this
position until the end.
3. After the rescue is correctly placed in
the harness, it must be closed by
means of the cotter pins on the res-
cue handle. To do this you need two

The RANGE X-ALPS3 can be combined with most lightweight reserve chutes. The reserve
chute may only be integrated in the front container, keeping aware of the maximum
volume of the reserve chute. The maximum 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 document.
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. Connect the rescue handle with the
inner container of your rescue chute.
Use the outer loop of your inner con-
tainer
2. Now you can connect the V-lines of
the RANGE X-ALPS3 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.
As an alternative, you can connect
the two lines with softlinks if the size
of the loop on the reserve chute
allows this. Looping your reserve
chute with the V-lines is reliable and
safe using skywalk products when
you comply with condition such as
