sid 1 #1 August 5, 2004 When you pack up the main on an Infinity, do you place the main risers on top of the reserve riser cover flap (like on a V3) or do you tuck them underneath and place them on top of the reserve risers? Couldn't find that nugget in the owners manual... thanks pdPete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

masterrig 1 #2 August 5, 2004 Since that is not mentioned in the owner's manual, I would place the main risers on top of the reserve cover flap. That would lessen the wear on the reserve risers. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck That was my thoughts, but the owner has been packing them under that flap.

KellyF 16 #4 August 5, 2004 The Infintiy was designed to have the main risers placed under the reserve top flap (pocket). This location makes the riser covers the most secure that they can be. The shape of the reserve top flap and riser cover tuck tab are significantly different than the V-3 that requires the risers to be placed on top of the pocket. If the jumper wants to place the risers on top of the pocket, that will work fine, but it will reduce the ability of the riser cover to stay securely closed, most likely not significantly. As far as excess wear on the reserve risers, I have never seen any wear on reserve risers due simply to main risers laying on top of them. You are more likely to find wear caused by the components of the release system (housing ends, riser inserts, etc.) and RSL's that use velcro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sid 1 #5 August 5, 2004 Thanks Kelly, I knew someone would know!Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
