## Inspection

• The loop length should be the same as the old loop. 

• The confluence wrap must be reinstalled. 

## Main Riser Steering Toggle Velcro$^{®}$ Replacement 

• Applicable products: Most main risers with a Velcro$^{®}$ toggle installation 

• Description: Replacement of the Velcro$^{®}$ toggle keeper on main risers 

• Authorized repairmen: FAA Senior or Master Parachute Rigger 

• Materials: E thread, Velcro$^{®}$ of the appropriate width and type 

• Machines: 301 straight stitch—medium duty 7–11 SPI 

• Equipment: Scissors, seam ripper or scalpel, marking pencil, and 6-inch ruler 

## Procedure 

The term “Velcro $^{®}$” is used in a generic fashion for hook and loop fastener. While the rigger should replace the Velcro $^{®}$ to match the original configuration. This installation has proven superior for its holding ability and the secure line stow configuration. 

## Disassembly 

1. Mark the location of the old Velcro $^{®}$. [Figure A]

2. Remove the old Velcro $^{®}$. 

## Reassembly 

1. Cut a new piece(s) of Velcro $^{®}$ to match the original. 

2. Position the Velcro $^{®}$ to the original location. 

3. Sew the hook Velcro $^{®}$ with a single-needle machine. Sew an additional row of stitching down the center of the Velcro$^{®}$. [Figure B]  This keeps the center from lifting during use and tearing out the edge stitching.
