all straight stitching by backstitching at least ½-inch. Restitch by overstitching each end of the stitch formation
by ½-inch. Restitch directly over the original stitching, following the original stitch pattern as closely as
possible. Stitch according to WP 0012 00 and Table 2, WP 0012 00.
REPLACE

CAUTION
Do not cut or break the threads in the type IV coreless nylon cord casing
while fabricating a safety line.
1. Remove the original safety cord from the bottom bag closing loops by cutting the line end loops.
2. Cut a 48-inch length of type IV braided-coreless nylon cord and taper cut each end by ½-inch.
