Task Instructions
2. Loosen fwd, smaller quick link (connecting the rocket collar to the parachute wire lanyards) and remove the two cables from the pickup collar. Do not remove any other cables. Temporarily close the quick link.
3. Undo the side pouch of the parachute bag and remove the cables. These cables are secured to the rocket which is staying in the aircraft.
4. Loosen the aft, larger quick link, then use temporary zip ties and/or labels to mark harness “C” ends. These must be reinstalled in the same order and orientation later. Remove the three “C” ends that go to the S-fold harness from the large quick link. Leave the remaining parachute “C” end of the harness on the quick link. Close the quick link. It will be shipped with the parachute. Optional: secure/stow the quick link to the parachute bag using the Velcro tab. See Figure 533.
