System information

The RSL System
The R eserve Static Line System (RSL) is optional equipment on the Mirage ha rness/container. If it is not
installed on your Mirage, you do not need to read this section. If you would like to have the RSL
installed on your Mirage, you may contact Mirage Systems at the address on the back of this man
ual.
To properly use a system equipped with an RSL, you must be familiar with it’s asse
mbly, operation and
function. You must also receive training from competent instructors prior to using such a system. It is
not the intention of this manual to provide such training.
FUNCTION
The RSL system consists of a lanyard between the left main riser and the reserve ripcord. It is
designed to use the mechanical force of the released main risers after a cutaway to pull the reserve
ripcord pin. It is not guaranteed to function properly and should not be relied on to activate your
reserve.
OPERATION
The RSL is essentially a passive system. A release lanyard is provided to disconnect the system. Use
Mate 1/2” hook and pile Velcro on the RSL lanyard.

Helpful Hint: A small screw driver point between the vel-
cro will help guide the RSL lanyard as you push it into
the spandex pocket.
