ARMY TM 10-1670-281-23&P AIR FORCE T.O. 13C5-32-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-32 2-11.  Shakeout and Airing. This task covers: a. Shakeout b. Airing INITIAL SETUP : Tools: Equipment Condition: Brush, Scrub, Household, Item 1, Appendix B Parachute suspended or inflated Broom, Item 26, Appendix B Fan, Pedestal, Item 27, Appendix B a.  Shakeout.  The shakeout will be accomplished by a two- or three-person team either indoors within a shakeout   room   or   outdoors   at   a   shakeout   tower.      If   facilities   permit,   shakeout   will   be   accomplished   by suspending the canopy as described in (1), below.  If facilities do not permit canopy suspension, the canopy will be inflated and shakeout will be accomplished as described in (2), below. (1)  Canopy suspension method.  Each parachute will be suspended by the canopy vent and all debris removed by shaking the canopy thoroughly or by brushing with a dry, soft-bristled brush as detailed below: (a)    With  assistance  from  No.  2  person,  No.  1  person  will  connect  snap  on  a  pulley  rope  to canopy bridle loop (A, figure 2-7). (b)    Through  use  of  pulley  rope,  No.  2  person  will  raise  canopy  to  a  suitable  height  which  will enable No. 1 person to perform shakeout on each canopy gore.  Until gore shaking process is completed, No. 2 person will maintain a steady pull on pulley rope to hold suspended canopy at working height needed by No. 1 person. (c)  No. 1 person will grasp any two consecutive suspension lines, one in each hand (B, figure 2- 7), and vigorously shake first gore.  When gore is free of debris, No. 1 person passes line from right hand to left hand and grasps next consecutive suspension line in right hand.  No. 1 person will shake out each consecutive gore until all suspension lines are held in left hand and all gores are free of debris. (d)  Once gore shaking process is completed, No. 2 person will slowly raise suspended canopy higher   as   No.   1   person   clears   suspension   lines   and   risers   of   debris   and   removes entanglements (C, figure 2-7) when possible. (e)    After  suspension  lines  have  been  cleared,  No.  2  person  may  hold  or  temporarily  secure pulley rope while No. 1 person proceeds to clear debris from other parachute components. (f) When all components are free of debris, No. 2 person will slowly lower canopy while No. 1 person   S-folds   suspension   lines   and   risers   into   deployment   bag   (D,   figure   2-7).      After suspension  lines  and  risers  have  been  completely  folded,  No.  1  person  will  accordion-fold canopy length on top of folded lines. (g)    As  canopy  folding  is  being  completed,  No.  1  person  disconnects  canopy  vent  from  pulley rope snap.  Secure folded canopy assembly for further handling. 2-12
