In an emergency situation, the handle of the rescue system is given a sharp pull. The special thread which holds the closing splint breaks. If your glider is rotating it pays to throw the reserve against the rotation as this will speed up the inflating process.
4 - PACKING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 - Packing preparations Before you pack the rescue system it is important that the canopy is spread out on the ground for about six hours. If possible, it would be even better to air it one night long by hanging it up by the top lines.
4.2 - Pulling the packing line trough the fixing loops To help you pack the rescue system, use a short piece of old paraglider line and thread it through all the apex fixing loops. The fixing loops are sewn on the canopy. Sort out the suspension lines.
4.3 - Sorting the panels Put all the panets to the right side and fold over each panel from the right side onto left side like turning the pages in a book and pull the top of the opening outward.. Start with panel 10 for Quadro 115 or 8 for Quadro 100 light, the last one is panel 1, which should be the top panel on the...
Page 12
Panels with slots are laid out as cone. Put a packing weight for fixation on the last panel and than all the panel from the right side can be shifted to the that side.
Page 13
Now fold all panels stored above the packing weight to the right side. The panel on the bottom is panel 11 at Quadro 115 or panel 9 at Quadro 100 light. Afterwards check both sides. On each side there must be the same amount of panels.
Check the lines. You can divide the lines in to three parts: the left ones, the right ones and the middle line. All lines must have a straight course and may not have any twists. 4.4 - Folding the canopy into thirds The left third is folded onto the middle and then the right third is folded under the middle.

Fold the whole canopy into the container. Close both sides of the inner container and the top pocket with the rubber, which you fix with one loop of all the suspension lines. Attention: These are special rubber bands which you can buy from the manufacturer and you must renew them each time you repack.
Page 16
The suspension lines are sorted in three bundles, which are fixed by rubbers. These bundles are stored in the pocket of the container. Use the last 20 cm of the suspension lines for the final closing of the inner container with the black rubber.
With the rest of the suspension lines you finalize the closing of the inner container by pulling the suspension lines through the black rubber loop. Don’t make the closing loop to big. Now the packing is finished. Control your packing tools on being complete. Make a note of the date of packing in the pack control booklet.
Handles for front and back containers are generally suspended in the central loop, container on side or under the seat, the side strap used. ATTENTION: Note the instructions for the rescue unit in the operating instructions of your harness. If there is no handle of the harness or it does not fit with your inner container, please ask the dealer of your harness or your paragliding school.
4.8 - Compatibility- check A control of every new combination of rescue system and harness/outer container has to be carried out by either the producer of the harness or the rescue system or an authorized person (dealer or flight instructor). The activation of the rescue system in flight position has to be correct and in conformity to the construction guidelines.
