7. Hold adjacent line and new line tightly together at lower lateral band, grasp both lines at upper lateral
band, and apply equal tension to both lines. Mark line at upper edge of upper lateral band. Check
correctness of marking.
8. Hold adjacent line and new line tightly together at upper lateral band and trace both lines to opposite
side of apex under equal tension. Mark new line where lines reach upper edge of upper lateral band.
Check correctness of marking.
9. Hold adjacent line and new line tightly together at upper lateral band, grasp both lines at lower lateral
band, and apply equal tension to both lines. Mark lines at lower edge of lower lateral band. Check
correctness of marking.
10. Hold adjacent line and new line tightly together at lower lateral band, and trace both lines from
canopy skirt to connector snap under equal tension. Mark new line at point even with inside ledge of
snap. Check correctness of marking, and cut new line of spool at a point approximately 10-inches
beyond connector snap. Tie new line at the opposite snap were the new line was removed (see
illustration detailed on the previous page).
11. Relieve tension from all lines.
12. Align marks on new line with lateral bands, and sew new line to canopy at all attaching points in
accordance with illustration detailed on the previous page, using size E nylon thread, and 7 to 11
stitches per inch. On canopies that have a pucker in the radial seams, make certain the radial seam
is still correctly puckered after all sewing is completed.
NOTE
To provide one-inch pucker at lower lateral band, move mark from
bottom of lower lateral band to top edge of lower lateral band.
Smooth out canopy material and mark material 11-inches above
bottom edge of lower lateral band and sew down toward lower
lateral band for 3-inches. Move mark from upper edge of lower
lateral band to bottom edge and sew in as shown in the illustration
on the following page. Repeat procedure on opposite side of
canopy and then complete sewing of the apex.
13. Reposition items removed in step 1., above, and sew in place according to original construction.
14. Sew line and free end together in accordance with above figure. Cut off excess end of line close to
stitching.
15. Compare knots with adjacent knots, and trace line from connector snap to canopy skirt for
correctness of attachment and position.
16. Attach remaining free end of new line to opposite connector snap by repeating the procedures in
steps 14. and 15., above.
