The 24‐foot reserve assembly is intended for use with the 35‐foot, T‐10 series or MC1 series main assembly. It is not to be used as a primary canopy. In the event that it is needed, it is manually activated through the use of the ripcord. The basic assembly, when packed for service, weight approximately 13‐lbs. The packed assembly requires less than 27‐lbs manual pull weight on the ripcord handle to activate the spring-loaded pilot chute, thereby deploying the reserve canopy instantaneously.
