PACKING THE MAIN CONTAINER
The Vector 3 manual does not include instructions on how to pack the main canopy. Instructions for packing the main
canopy can be found in the canopy owner’s manual. Relative Workshop’s instructions for packing the main container
start with stowing the lines (After the main canopy has been inserted into the main deployment bag according to
canopy manufacturer’s instructions).
1. The bag is held shut by four rubber
bands located across the mouth of the bag;
each of these rubber bands pass through a
grommet located along the edge of the
locking flap. To close the bag, pass one of
the center two rubber stow bands through
its corresponding grommet and insert a 1
inch to 2 inches (3-5 cm) bight of lines
through the stow band. Repeat process with
the other center stow band, followed by the
opposite corner band. Repeat for other
corner band.
2. Stow the remainder of the lines across
the bottom of the bag in the rubber bands
located on opposite ends working from
locking stows toward the opposite end of
bag, alternating stows from left to right side
of bag. Keep the line bights one to two
inches long. Leave no more than 15 inches
(37 cm) of lines unstowed between the bag
and the connector links.
3. Use your knees or feet to “walk” on the bag,
squeezing air out and distributing the bulk
until the packed canopy is uniformly
distributed within the bag.
