THE SYSTEM
The CRUX 2 3R is a BASE harness / container system with 3-ring risers. It is imperative that you
take the time to learn the proper assembly, packing, and closing procedures before you use this
system. If you are unsure of any aspect of the assembly or use of this system, stop use immediately
and seek professional instruction. We recommend that you assemble and pack this container
system under the guidance / instruction of a qualified BASE instructor or parachute rigger.
CLOSING LOOPS
Your CRUX 2 3R is shipped with two sets of closing loops.
You must adjust the closing loop length to your parachute
pack volume and packing style.
The CRUX 2 3R top closing loop can be installed in the
floor-plate, or the top flap, depending on jumper preference,
packing method, and/or canopy volume requirements. The
floor-plate loop position will result in a more compact and
lower profile finish. Using the top flap loop installation will allow
for a more traditional folding technique and more volume.
Note: only use Squirrel OEM closing loops for either location.
Floor Plate Loop: For all terminal, tracking, wingsuit, and high-airspeed jumps
To use the floor-plate loop, select one of the longer loops included with your CXUL and install
through the back of the floor plate. Be sure to use the included metal washer and an overhand knot.
Top Flap Loop: Recommended only for subterminal use
To use the top flap loop location, insert the padded plastic wedge into the V-shaped pocket on the
top flap. Select a shorter closing loop, install a washer & knot, and thread through the grommet.
The loop should fit snugly in between the flap and the stiffened wedge. Do not use this closing
method for any jump where the container will be exposed to high amounts of relative wind.
PACKING TIPS
Common techniques used to pack other 2-pin container systems, which use a floor-plate closing
method for the top pin, will work for the CRUX 2 3R as well. Please keep these points in mind:
1. If using the floor plate for the top loop, then we recommend placing your pull-up cord through the top
closing loop before placing your canopy in the container (easier to access once the parachute is covering
the loop).
2. You can place the tailpocket in the packing tray regular or inverse, high or low. However, the placement
shown here has proven to work well with this container.
