Closing the reserve compartment The outer compartment flaps are secured with closure loops and ca bles The eyelets on the flaps are marked 1 3 and A D and indicate the order in which the outer compartment is closed The design of the outer compartment creates the necessary tension and pressure on the closure loops and cables The reserve handle is stowed in its neoprene pocket on the right hand side of the harness The two yellow cables on the reserve handle run out of the openings in the pocket through the closure loops and the ends led into their buttonholes The magnet in the reserve handle grip will find its opposite number in the elastic sidewall of the harness The handle will then lie close to the harness is well visible and easy to reach To guarantee a correct reserve release it must always be verified that the yellow release cables are routed cleanly The harness V connector runs to the reserve through the channel on the side of the harness This channel is closed by a zip fastener Even after a long period without use this zip will run easily and reliably To close the channel slide the zip puller carefully in its opposite di rection from the top to its lower end where the zipping begins The channel can now be easily closed with the zipper Stow the zip pull er in its own garage Q Caution Never connect the inner container to the reserve parachute Compatibility testing Correct stowage of the reserve must che
