CLOSING THE CONTAINER

2. Close the top flap, being sure to push the canopy and diaper into the corners of the container while closing. Thread the upper pull-up cord through the upper grommet on the top flap.

3. Thread the lower pull-up cord through the lower grommet on the top flap making sure the canopy protector flaps are in position. [Figure 5-60] Pull the lower pull-up cord through both grommets until the closing loop appears and install a temporary pin.

4. Pull the upper pull-up cord through the grommet until the upper closing loop appears and install a temporary pin. [Figure 5-61]

5. Compress the pilot chute between the rubber bumpers and make sure the pilot chute canopy fabric is tucked into the coils of the spring. Thread the pull-up cords through the grommets in the grommet strap. Removing one temporary pin at a time, pull up the closing loops and secure the pilot chute in place with two temporary pins. [Figure 5-62] Close the Velcro® on the top and bottom flaps.
