11. Thread the pull-up cord through the<br />
right side flap (Flap #4), then the left side<br />
flap (Flap #5) in that order. Close and secure<br />
with the temporary pin each time. Ensure<br />
the pilot chute folds stay flat and neat.<br />
note<br />
If the force<br />
necessary to close<br />
the last two flaps<br />
seems excessive,<br />
the loop may be too<br />
short. Use a scale to<br />
determine how<br />
much force is<br />
needed to extract<br />
the pin; 8lb (3.6 kg)<br />
to 12lb (5.4kg) is<br />
correct. A short loop<br />
can also bend the<br />
reserve loop anchor<br />
If a cranking tool is<br />
used, care should<br />
be taken that the<br />
22lb (9.9 kg) pull<br />
force is not<br />
exceeded. This is<br />
stipulated by the<br />
FAA FAR’s in the<br />
12. Thread the pull-up cord through the<br />
top center flap (Flap #6).<br />
13. Replace the temporary pin with the<br />
reserve pin.<br />
