NoRules 0 #1 November 21, 2004 Hey- I'm setting up my new rig now (which I will of course have checked out by a rigger before I jump) but I want to hook up the canopy on my own. How do I attach the soft links to the risers? Anyone have a good explanation? Thanks ~ * Life Has No Rules * ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #3 November 21, 2004 If you ask, a lot of riggers would be happy to walk you through the process of hooking up your main to risers and to your container so you can learn the right way the first time. Infact I highly recommend it for people when doing it for the first time.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

NoRules 0 #4 November 21, 2004 QuoteDid you read the instructions? Haha, for once I did... but in the manual it shows how to attach the steering lines to the toggle but not the soft links to the riser. And Aggie, I'll go talk to a rigger once I get to the dz, but I'm sort of giddy/excited and want to see it all packed up now ~ * Life Has No Rules * ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #8 November 21, 2004 Cool, a lot of people do what you did (saw your post before the edit). If you have a packboy/powertool, whatever you want to call a metal bar packing tool, it makes running the Slink back through the lines the 2nd time a whole lot easier.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

slotperfect 7 #11 November 21, 2004 Slink Instructions Slink Riser Cover Instructions (If you use them) The instructions are clear, installation is simple. Give yourself some insurance by having someone savvy do a continuity check and check the installation of your Slinks before you pack 'er up! Have fun!
