MAIN CANOPY PACKING INSTRUCTIONS Instructions for packing specific main canopies are published by the canopy manufacturer and are beyond the scope of this manual. ABOUT THE DEPLOYMENT BRAKES Every ram-air canopy on the market today is equipped with “deployment brakes” to make it open more gently and reliably. The brakes work by keeping the tail of the canopy pulled down several inches during deployment. This prevents the canopy from surging forward as it inflates and begins flying. Malfunctions and poor deployments may result if the brakes are not set during packing, if the brakes are incorrectly set, or if one or both brakes release before complete canopy inflation and stabilization. Incompatible toggle and riser combinations may also create similar problems. Not all harness and container systems have risers that are configured like those shipped with the Vector 3. Different riser designs require different procedures and a rigger should be consulted for the correct one. Page • 48:88 section 4 : setting up pull out system 09354 - 11/26/2003 Rev 0
