6. Close the bottom of the container as per the original and reinforce as required. 

## Inspection 

• Check that the flap is installed correct side out. 

• Check the inside binding for reinforcing stitching. 

• The side flap/riser cover should be stitched and reinforced. 

• The container bottom must be closed correctly and reinforced. 

## Bottom of Container (BOC) Pocket Replacement 

• Applicable products: Any main container with a BOC pocket configuration 

• Description: Installation of a BOC pocket to the main container 

• Authorized repairmen: FAA Senior or Master Parachute Rigger 

• Materials: E thread—color to match 

• Machines: 301 straight stitch—medium duty 7–9 SPI and 308 zigzag—medium duty 7–11 SPI 

• Equipment: Scissors, seam ripper or scalpel, marking pencil, and t-pins 

## Procedure 

The following technique is typical of many modern container systems. This procedure addresses only the disassembly of the container and replacement of a factory made replacement part. It does not address the manufacture of a replacement part. Depending on the size of the container assembly, it may be possible to do the replacement of the BOC pocket with the reserve packed. However, the smaller the system, the more difficult it will be. If the container cannot be placed under the machine, then remove the reserve canopy. 

## Disassembly 

1. Mark the location of the corners of the BOC pocket on the container with a marking pencil. 

2. Open the lower right corner of the main container. [Figure A]
