V E C T O R O W N E R ’ S M A N U A L 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. Page • 54:88 09354 - 11/26/2003 Rev 0
V E C T O R O W N E R ’ S M A N U A L 4. Pick the bag up by its sides and set it into the container on its line stows. 5. Gently roll the bag out of the way. Follow the risers over the shoulders of the harness and container system and down along the sides of the main container. Separating the risers and laying them side-by-side (versus “stacking” the risers) against the outside wall of the reserve container will create a flatter, cleaner looking pack job. Lay the connector links into the container neatly against the sides making sure that no lines will wrap around them during canopy deployment. RISER FLAPS 6. Close riser covers by performing the following: a) Place main risers on top of (not under) tucktab pocket (A). b) Continue routing the main risers down along side the reserve container and close internal riser cover (B) over the main risers. c) Close external riser cover (C) over the risers & insert tuck-tab into pocket (A). d) Close main container by the numbers. B A C note Once you have 50 jumps on the container you may put the risers under tucktab pocket A and external riser cover C. 7. Lay the bag down in the container with the line stows against the bottom flap. Lift up on the top main flap as you push the top corners of the bag into the top of the main container so that the connector links are kept in place between the bag and the sides of the container. Make sure that none of the flaps are under the bag. Pull the bridle to its full length. 09354 - 11/26/2003 Page • 55:88 Rev 0
