Figure 4. Removing An Inversion Through Skirt.

Reattach the canopy to the apex hook.
3. Canopy vent/slot inversion. Two kinds of canopy vent / slot inversions may be encountered. Remove
canopy vent / slot inversions as follows:
a. Apex through one of the canopy vents /slots: If the anti-inversion net appears on the inside of the
lower lateral band and the apex lines appear on the inside of the upper lateral band, the apex is
inverted through one of the canopy vents / slots. To remove this kind of canopy vent / slot
inversion, locate the vent / slot through which the canopy has been inverted, and pass the apex
lines down through the canopy and out the canopy vent /slot.
b. One or two risers through one of the canopy vents /slots: For this type of canopy vent /slot
inversion, the apex lines appear on the outside of the upper lateral band. If half the anti-inversion
net appears on the inside of the lower lateral band, and half appears on the outside, the right or
left riser is inverted through one of the canopy vents / slots. If all the anti-inversion net appears on
the outside of the lower lateral band, both risers are inverted through one of the canopy vents /
slots.
c.
One or both risers may be inverted in one of two directions, either down through one of the
canopy vents/slots and out of the canopy skirt, or up the canopy skirt and out one of the canopy
vents/slots. To remove this type of inversion, proceed as follows:
(1) Place the suspension lines and canopy gores into group separation.
(2) Determine whether the left or right riser, or both, is inverted and determine the direction of the
inversion.
(3) Remove the connector links from the tension plate and reverse the direction of the riser(s)
through the lower portion of the canopy below the canopy vent / slot.
(4) Reinstall the connector links on the tension plate.
