1.

  Use a piece of line to thread 

  the packing loops together. 
  Don’t forget the four corner 
  loops mounted slightly further 
  back on the panels.

  Depending on the size, the  
  PEPPER CROSS LIGHT has a  
  different amount of packing  
 loops:
 
  90 & 110: 20 loops
  135: 24 loops
  180 & 225: 28 loops

2. 

Secure the packing loops

  for now and pull on the main 
  riser and the attached loops 
  until it is tight.

3. 

The PEPPER CROSS LIGHT is

  a cruciform  rescue parachute  
  with four corner points, so lay  
  out the canopy with one corner  
  at the bottom, one on the left,  
  one on  the right and one on top. 
  Start with the first corner at 
  the bottom and smooth the 
  material by running your hand 
  along it on the table.

4.

  Pull the base from one line 

 

attachment point to the next  

  along the seam to the side  
  you are sorting and smooth the  
  crossed panel. A line separator  
  and a weight will help to secure 
  the already sorted lines.
