shake the first gore. When the gore is free of debris, no. 1 person passes the line from the right hand

will shake out each consecutive gore until all suspension lines are held in the left hand and all gores
are free of debris.

higher as the no. 1 person clears suspension lines of debris and removes entanglements.
5. After the suspension lines have been cleared, the no. 2 person may hold or temporarily secure the
pulley rope while the no. 1 person proceeds to clear debris from other parachute components such as
the pack.
