PREPARATION

Rescue handle attachment

The reserve parachute handle must be attached to the central loop of the deployment bag. If your deployment bag does not have a central loop then you should change it for one that does. Attaching the handle to the side loop may make the system ineffective, and prevent the parachute from deploying.

To install a reserve parachute you should first pack the parachute so that it matches the shape and dimensions of the deployment bag/container.

Attach the handle to the central loop using a larks foot.

1. Pass the handle through the central loop.
2. Loop the handle back through itself to make a larks footconnection.

WARNING: The connection between the reserve handle and the deployment bag must not be too short. The connection must be long enough to allow the pins to release before the handle comes under tension. Ensure this is the case with a practice deployment.

Bridle Connection

If you have a parachute with a short bridle, then you need to attach it to an Ozone Y bridle (not supplied) using a suitable connector (not supplied). Long Y – bridled parachutes can be attached directly to the carabiners, or directly to the shoulder parachute attachments if your harness features them. If you are ordering an Angel parachute that is intended to be used with the front container then we recommend you go for the long bridle option.

Reserve chute installation – Lite / PPG Lite
If connecting directly to the main carabiners, first of all place the ends of the Y bridle as shown and attach the Y bridle loops to the container bag loops – right is blue, left is red – with a larks foot as shown. It is not necessary to do this procedure with the PPG Lite version, or if you are attaching the bridles directly to the shoulder attachments. In these cases, the container can be secured to the harness in any suitable position with the clips.
