TM 10-1670-287-23&P 0014 00 0014 00-36 12. Secure ripcord handle by hand to prevent ripcord pin withdrawal when weight is applied. 13. A 20-pound weight attached to the center of the ripcord grip (care shall be exercised not to impose an impact load) shall readily withdraw ripcord grip from pocket. 14.   When ripcord grip has been removed from pocket, carefully remove the 20-pound weight. NOTE The following ripcord pull test and the stroke simulator test are performed on all MC-4 systems each time the main parachute is initially placed in service and when the main closing loop is replaced. 15. Attach a 27-pound weight to ripcord grip.  Slowly remove your hand.  The weight shall readily activate the parachute by withdrawing the ripcord pin from locking loop. 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 main 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).
