IMPORTANT: Before closing the pod, make sure the packing line has been completely removed!

WARNING: After a salt water landing, if there are any visible signs of damage to the cloth or evidence of salt crystals, the parachute should be deemed un-airworthy and withdrawn from service.

WARNING: The Parachute should be decommissioned after 10 years from the date of purchase even if it has never been thrown.

If you used a packing line, now completely remove it from the loops. Failure to do so will most certainly result in a deployment malfunction.
