For it to open reliably, perfect and regular packing is essential. To assure this it is important to air and repack the reserve every 4 months. If the reserve is damp you must air and repack it as the material may “stick“.

After test and emergency openings, mechanical damage or after 2 years a thorough check must be made. Even used correctly the material can be prone to damage.

Packing yourself: please only pack the reserve yourself, if you really know how to do this! We very often get “self packed“ reserves that would never have opened up in an emergency case. 

If you pack the reserve yourself, please use the producers rubber rings and renew them with each packing. 

Fitting of the harness has to be done according to the harness’ operating instructions. Even better - leave it to the profesionals.
