Folding the gores (cont).
NOTE
All directional references to right or left called for in the packing procedures, will be from the
riggers view.
a.
At a point 10 feet below the canopy skirt, position a large circulating fan in a manner that will allow the fan
airstream to partially inflate the canopy. Turn fan on.
b.
With the fan operating and rigger number 1 holding the canopy skirt at least shoulder high to allow the
canopy to partially inflate, rigger number 2 will move through the canopy inside to the canopy vent and pull the center
line length back through the canopy to within approximate 6 inches of the skirt of the canopy.
c.
Insure all twists are removed from the center line length and the line is located between suspension lines 32
and 33.
d.
Temporarily position center line inside the canopy until gore folding is completed to preclude entaglement
with the suspension lines.
