SHINE reserve parachute's manual SHINE
Packing a reserve parachute is not very difficult
but requires a methodical and precise folding
procedure. If you feel uneasy about repacking
the reserve parachute yourself, it will be advi-
sable for you to seek professional assistance to
do the job correc
Tip: take advantage of having to repack your
parachute, to deploy it on the ground and
vent it for a while, prior proceeding to folding it
again.
Before each repacking procedure, the following
sequence must be observed :
- Carefully check each line from the canopy to the
riser for any possible damage.
- Aerate the parachute for at least twelve ( 12 ) hours.
Not in direct sunlight nor in a room filled with polluting
chemical agents ( sprays ).
- Check the fabric for damage or soiling of any kind.
- Inspect the pod and parachute pocket for wear
and tear to ensure a clean extraction.
- Check the properly fastened reserve parachute
handle to the pod.
- Inspect the elasticated loop keeping the pod flaps
securely closed.
- If you notice something unusual, send your para-
chute to be inspected by a professional specialized
certified outfit.
