9. Check the canopy with the deployment brakes set and with the brakes not set to be sure that it is correctly configured.
The main canopy owner’s manual contains the correct brake settings and steering line lengths. Keep in mind that there
are NO standardized dimensions. Therefore, unless the lines are the correct length, the canopy may not open or fly
correctly.
10. Once the measurements have been verified, tighten the overhand knot at the toggle. Daisy chain, finger trap or
tack the excess end of the steering line to the toggle. Don’t cut the extra line off; you may wish to adjust the toggle
position later.
11. Repeat procedure for the other toggle.
12. Inspect the installation. Ensure proper routing of the steering lines.
METHOD B—SPECTRA (MICROLINES) LINES
After the main canopy has been properly attached to the risers and while it is still lying on its side, attach the toggles to
it by following these steps:
1. Starting at the tail of the canopy, trace the upper steering lines down to the lower steering line. The idea is to be sure
the steering lines are routed correctly; they should not wrap around any suspension lines. The right-hand steering line
must pass through the right-hand rear slider grommet, and the left-hand line must pass through the left-hand rear
slider grommet.
2. Locate the mark on the steering line that indicates the correct toggle location. Verify that this mark is in the correct
location by referring to the main canopy owner’s manual.
3. Thread the end of the steering line through the guide ring located on the riser.
4. Thread the end of the steering line through
the Vector 3 steering toggle grommet. Wrap the
steering line around the outside of the toggle
and then over the grommet. The mark on the
steering line that indicates correct toggle
position should be 1 ¼ inches (3cm) from the
side of the toggle.
5. Slide the line off the looped end of the toggle
and tie a loose overhand knot in the folded line.
