SIGMA TANDEM SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL INSPECT THE DROGUE Check the envelope for tears and snags. Tiny holes can be ignored for a few jumps, but medium to large size tears must be repaired before the next jump. Check the outer Kevlar bridle for signs of wear or broken stitches. Check the inner Vectran/Spectra kill line for signs of wear. Common wear points are the upper and lower 30 inches of the bridle. The mid-section tends to outlast the ends. Although a kill line can last 100’s of jumps, sandy or salty conditions can lower its life. Make sure both the kill line and the outer Kevlar bridle are attached to the bag loop with a correctly tightened #5 stainless rapid link. Because both the kill line and the bridle are attached at the same place, you no longer have to untwist the kill line before setting the drogue. Check the disk for nicks, which can be caused by improper ground handling. A deep, sharp nick could damage either the container or canopy on the next jump, and should be sanded or buffed out. (Your main container top flap has Velcro pouches with spare parts, including Emory cloth and a 3/32” Allen wrench.) Check that the disk attachment pin is threaded through its loop on the drogue bridle, and that the screws are tight. Tighten with a 3/32” Allen wrench if necessary. A loose screw could damage or snag the closing loop. A missing screw could cause the pin to slip out of the disk chimney, which would cause premature collapse of the drogue. A little dab of blue Loc-Tite on the screws will help keep them in place. 11301 - 00.00.0000 Section 2: Equipment • Chapter 4 - Packing & Closing the Main Page 5:X
