PROCEDURE
Thereare3methodsforattachingsteeringtogglestosteeringlines.
 MethodAisforreservecanopieswithDacron(polyester)lines.
 MethodBisforreservecanopieswithsmall‐diameterSpectra(Microline)
thathaveafinger‐trappedandsewn
loopends.
 MethodCisforreservecanopieswithsmall‐diameterSpectra(Microline)thathaveonlyamarkforattaching
thetoggle.


METHODA—DACRONSTEERINGLINES
Oncethecanopyhasbeencorrectlyattachedtotherisersandwhileitisstilllaid
onitsside,begintoattachthe
reservesteeringtogglesusingthefollowingsteps:

1.Ensurethesteeringlinesarecorrectlyrouted(i.e.theyshouldnotwraparoundanysuspensionlines).Thisis
accomplishedbystartingatthetailofthecanopy.Tracetheuppersteeringlinesdowntothe
lowersteeringline.
Checkthattherighthandsteeringlinepassesthroughtherighthandrearslidergrommetandthelefthandsteering
linepassesthroughthelefthandrearslidergrommet.

2.Locatethemarkonthesteeringlinethatindicatesthecorrecttogglelocation.Verifythecorrectlocation
ofthis
markbyreferringtothereservecanopyowner’smanual.

3.Threadthesteeringlinethroughtheguideringthatislocatedontheriser.

4.Startingfromthehookandloopfastener(loop
side),threadtheendofthesteeringlinethrough
theVector3steeringtoggle
grommet.Adjustthe
steeringlinesothatthemark(onthesteering
line)isclosetothegrommetbuthasnotpassedthroughit.



5.Looptherunningendofthesteeringlinearoundthetoggleandthreaditthroughthegrommetagain.Nowpullit
snug.Check
thatthemarkremainsinthecorrectplace.


6.Continuebyloopingtherunningend ofthe
steeringlinearoundtheothersideofthetoggle
and,onceagain,passitthroughthegrommet.
