3. The No. 1 person will grasp any two-consecutive suspension lines, one in each hand, and vigorously
shake the first gore.
4. When the gore is free of debris, the No. 1 person passes the line from the right hand to the left hand
and grasps the next consecutive suspension line, in the right hand. The No. 1 person will shake out
each consecutive gore until all suspension lines are held in the left hand, and all gores are free of
debris.
5. Once the gore shaking process is completed, the No. 2 person will slowly raise the suspended canopy
higher as the No. 1 person clears the suspension lines of debris and removes entanglements, when
possible.
6. 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 risers, harness, and pack tray.
