Packing the Reserve Container
Place your foot on top edge of the reserve pilot chute
cap. Push the pilot chute towards the bottom while
pulling the #3 flap closed. Remove and replace tempo-
rary pin. [Fig. 31]
Helpful Hint: Remember to remove the temporary pin
once the grommets are touching. With adequate pres-
sure to contain the pilot chute, the temporary pin can be
remove and repositioned to the #3 closing flap.
Once #3 flap is pinned, force the pilot chute down into
the freebag. [Fig. 32]
Helpful Hint: Placing your foot on the #3 closing flap
while pulling up on the #4 and #5 side flaps, works the
canopy into the corners and away from the closing loop.
This is important for bulk distribution and proper pilot
chute seating and should be repeated often. Main riser
covers may be used after reserve side flaps are closed.

Thread the pull up cord through both #4 and #5 closing
flaps. While using the leverage bar draw #4 and #5
grommets towards the center. Do not remove temporary
pin yet. [Fig. 33]
Important: Do not force grommets into center. Work
gradually using the helpful hint technique
Helpful Hint: While pulling the flap toward the center,
slap the flap on the reserve side wall seam. This
method will gradually move the grommet closer to the
center without damaging the container. Working both
side
flaps together will also help keep the reserve
container symmetrical.
