BEFORE JUMPING YOUR VECTOR 3
Please read this manual thoroughly before assembling or using your Vector 3, even if you’ve owned
or jumped a Relative Workshop Vector before. We have recently made several important changes
to the rig, and you should know about them before using your rig.
TRAINING REQUIRED
note
This manual is not
a course of
instruction on how
to make a parachute
jump, nor does it
contain the various
regulations that
govern sport
If you have not jumped a Relative Workshop Vector 3 before, or if you’re transitioning from other
types of equipment to a Relative Workshop Vector 3, make sure you receive instruction on its use
from a certified instructor. This instruction should consist of a practice session in a suspended
harness or on the ground where you practice both routine and emergency procedures.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that their Vector 3 is properly assembled, properly
maintained, correctly packed and used. It is also the owner’s responsibility to seek out and obtain
proper training before using any skydiving equipment such as the Relative Workshop Vector 3.
Ensure that the person who inspects and packs both the main and reserve parachutes is qualified
to do so.
The owner of a Vector 3 should not loan it to another person without first determining that the
person is fully capable of using it properly and safely.
Finally, nothing in this manual is meant to discourage the reader from using the Vector 3 in a
reasonable and prudent way.
The information and specifications in this manual were in effect at the time of printing. The Relative
Workshop, Inc., however, reserves the right to change the Vector 3 at any time without notice or
warning and without incurring any obligation.
ABOUT MODIFICATIONS
It is common for jumpers to “improve” their rigs by altering them. A high percentage of these
alterations cause malfunctions or make the rig harder to use correctly.
Typical alterations include conversions to a pull-out pilot chute, changing the dimensions of the
harness, changing the length of the bridle cord, installing automatic activation devices (AAD),
and so forth.
We strongly urge you to check with the Relative Workshop before you make any changes to your
Vector 3. The Relative Workshop has spent years of testing and development to achieve the current
design and functionality. Check with us before you allow any changes to be made; even seemingly
insignificant alterations to your Vector 3 may have dangerous and unforeseen consequences.
