Locating Suspension Lines. To properly locate suspension lines, proceed as follows: NOTE Suspension lines 1 thru 16 are divided into two groups, 1 thru 8 in left group and 9 thru 16 in right group. (1) Divide the suspension lines into left and right groups. (2) Place a packing weight around the right group of lines and move weight toward risers, checking for turns, tangles and twists. (3) When Inversion, turns, tangles, and twists are present in a canopy assembly, the proper sequence for removal to achieve proper layout is to remove an inversion first, remove turns secondly, then remove tangles, and finally, remove twists as follows: (a) Turns. A turn occurs when one group of suspension lines rotates around other group (figure 2-13). 2-28
