2. Always remember to cock your pilot<br />
chute before you begin packing and always<br />
recheck it after you place the bag into the<br />
container. This assures that the bridle has<br />
not become partially uncocked while<br />
packing. You must see the green marking<br />
on the kill line to be sure it is cocked.<br />
Cocking the pilot<br />
chute allows the pilot<br />
chute to inflate when<br />
thrown into the airstream.<br />
An uncocked<br />
pilot chute will remain<br />
collapsed and subsequently<br />
create a pilot<br />
chute in tow situation.<br />
SETTING UP THE PULL-OUT DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM<br />
When a Vector 3 is to be set up with the pull-out main deployment system, the bridle/pin and handle setup must first<br />
be attached to the pilot chute. To do this, perform the following:<br />
1. First, thread the end of the bridle with no hook and loop fastener on it through the loop located on the handle/pin<br />
setup.<br />
2. Next, thread the end of the bridle<br />
through the crossed tape and centerline at<br />
the base of the pilot chute.<br />
