during deployment. Be sure to leave a portion of the link covers
ABOVE the hard link, to protect your slider grommets from coming into
contact with the stainless steel links. Do not place these link covers so
low on your links that the brass slider grommets are able to make
contact with the steel links when the slider descends. These links can
damage your brass slider grommets and ultimately damage your lines.
a. Soft Links: If you are using Soft Links to connect your canopy
to your container be sure to educate yourself on how they are
assembled, as well as the pros and cons associated with them.
Soft links can be more time consuming to install/remove, but
provide more strength and comfort than stainless steel
connector links with less weight.
2. Toggles to Control Lines:
a. Slider Off (EZ Grab Toggles): Your toggles will need to be
assembled to your canopy control lines. Depending on whether
you’ll be jumping with or without a slider there are a few
different ways to route your control lines and we recommend
that you educate yourself about these options. To attach your
toggle to the control line pass the control line through the toggle
grommet from the velcro side and then pass the bottom of the
toggle through the toggle setting in the control line. Pull the line
taught and make sure your toggle is securely attached to the
line. For more information on Apex BASE canopies that have two
toggle settings, see
