canopy from slipping; place your hand under the staging flap and while applying downward pressure,
pull the closing lops up through the grommets, insuring both pull-up cords and staging flaps go over
the apex sock.

corresponding locking loop with the curved pin. Secure the second loop with the remaining pin.

Failure to remove the pull-up cords may cause a parachute
malfunction resulting in severe injury or death.
