packing instructions 1
Gin Gliders ONE G rescue parachutes are inspected and packed at the fac-
tory. It is recommend that the reserve is repacked by a suitably qualified
and experienced paragliding professional or parachute rigger prior to ins-
tallation into your harness. The efficacy of the rescue, and your life,
depend on the correct packing procedure. If in any doubt whatsoever,
please seek professional advice from your instructor, GIN dealer or importer.
Airing:
Before packing, the canopy should be aired. Ideally, the canopy should be
hung by its apex from the ceiling for 24 hours in a cool, dry room.
Preparation:
The packing area must be spacious, clean, smooth and dry.
Preliminary Materials:
Before starting the packing procedure, make sure you have the following materials:
- Rubber bands (to change at each repack)
- 2 lengths of thin cord to aid closing the inner deployment bag
(Don't use Kevlar line, and the end of lines should not be cut by heat.)
- 2 solid weights or sandbags, which should be smooth and clean (2-2.5kg)
- 2 pins
- Line separator

lines, to prepare for the careful folding. While doing this, check for any
signs of damage or deterioration of the canopy fabric.
And follow the outer suspension line to find the centre panels to start
