Installing the parachute in the Wills Wing Covert harness

The purpose of this description is to detail the methods needed to
properly install a parachute into your new Wills Wing Covert harness. Use the
following description as a guide but if there are any questions regarding
difficulty or specifics not covered below, please feel free to email me at
<Shapiro>. Your new harness comes with a deployment bag(s) that is specific to the
deployment system designed for the Covert. It is a LARA style bag with an
embroidered paddle sewn to the handle of the bag. Although your Covert comes
with a LARA style bag, it can successfully be used with most if not all of the
common chutes used for the sport of Hang Gliding. The first step toward installing your chute properly is to remove the Covert
deployment bag from your new harness and to transfer your parachute into that
Covert specific D-bag. This is made easier by laying your Covert with the inside
of the harness facing down and the harness opened up so the chute handles are
facing the ceiling. The harness should be in this position during the entire
installation process as this position allows for the outer shell material to be
very loose and easy to manipulate (see photo below). Now, to pull the d-bag out
of the harness, you first pull the handle and paddle away from the main harness
body, separating the Velcro and clearing the paddle from its two triangular
shaped captures. Next, use your fingers to separate the (3) zippers that close
bombay doors to expose the area where your chute will eventually be installed.
Finish by pulling free the Covert d-bag. Set it aside.
