IMPORTANT!
DO NOT TAKE YOUR ADVANTAGE POWERED PARACHUTE CANOPY
OUT OF THE CHUTEBAG UNTIL THE POINT AT WHICH YOU ARE
DIRECTED TO DO SO IN THIS MANUAL.
ASSEMBLY TO THE VEHICLE
1. Set the completely assembled airframe in an area large enough to accommodate the
airframe and parachute. The parachute needs 35 to 40 by about 15 ft feet of working
space. Block the wheels so your airframe cannot move.
2. Place your bagged S Series
canopy at the rear of your vehicle about 5 feet behind
the propeller.
3a. If you have webbing risers: Take the risers on the right side of your vehicle and
properly align the connector links to accept the canopy without twists in the webbing.
Make sure the steering line pulley is located toward the outside of the rear riser.
Maintaining this orientation secure the risers to the hooks located on your fan guard or
at another appropriate location depending on your vehicle. Repeat this operation for the
left side.
3b. If you are using cable risers: Take the main and safety cables on the right side of
your vehicle and align the cable connector links to accept the canopy without twists in
the cables. Maintaining this orientation place the eye of the cables onto the hooks
located on the fan (propeller) guard or at another appropriate location depending on
your vehicle. Ensure that the steering guide ring or pulley is through both connector
links and is hanging toward the bottom. Repeat this operation for the left side main and
safety cables.
4. Open the chute bag and remove the chute. Lay the chute out behind the aircraft with
the top surface down, the leading edge to the rear and spread out from left to right so
that all lines can be clearly seen from end to end.
5. Remove the line socks and arrange the chute and all its lines so that they can be
clearly seen from one end to the other of each line.
6. Take the Rapide link with the A & B lines (leading edge and next set rearward) of one
side of the chute, pull it towards the airframe and arrange it so that all the lines run from
link to chute with no twists or tangles. Open the Rapide link either by hand or with the
wrench and screwdriver. Attach it to the front or inner riser cable or strap from your
airframe. Check with your airframe manufacturer to determine the correct attachment
arrangement. Tighten the Rapide finger tight and then tighten it with the wrench and
screwdriver another 1/4 turn maximum. Safety mark the barrel nut on each link using a
drop of nail polish, a permanent marker, or similar. Take the C & D lines (next set of
suspension lines lower) on the same side and attach these to the rear or outside riser
cable or strap from your airframe as indicated above for the A & B lines. Check with
