TM 10-1670-287-23&P 0013 00 0013 00-34 27. Remove the ripcord from the ripcord grip pocket. 28. Attach a 27-pound weight to ripcord grip.  Slowly remove your hand.  The weight shall readily activate the parachute by withdrawing the ripcord pins from locking loops. NOTE It is not necessary to start the pack process over again if the same initial packer is conducting the Ripcord Pull Tests.  If a different Parachute Rigger has taken over any of the tasks associated with the Ripcord Pull Tests, then a complete re-pack of the reserve parachute is required. NOTE Re-closing the container after the ripcord pull test does not constitute a repack toward the normal repack cycle (120-days).   Repack and replace the reserve closing loop at the specified repack interval. 29. Reclose the container IAW the RECLOSE THE CONTAINER procedure detailed above. Reinsert the ripcord pin(s) threading top pin through eye of power cable (detail A above). STROKE SIMULATOR TEST (Reserve Mounted AR2) Conduct a Stroke Simulator Test as follows: WARNING The Stroke Simulator must be able to pull both reserve ripcord pins positively and completely to ensure adequate travel of the AR2 power cable.  Inadequate travel of the AR2 power cable may cause the parachute to not deploy, resulting in serious injury or death of the parachutist. NOTE The Stroke Simulator Test (power cable length of travel) will be performed each time a power cable is installed on the harness/container, each time the reserve parachute is packed, and when the AR2 has actuated during a jump.
