Before you begin, ensure your canopy and slider system are clean and free from damage. A tidy workspace with good lighting helps make the process smoother and safer.Stainless steel slider rings

• ✅ Lay out your canopy and risers flat

• ✅ Inspect slider fabric and lines for wear

• ✅ Have your JYRO RDS Slider Rings and any needed tools ready

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Locate the Slider Loop Points
   Identify the fabric loops or line attachment points on your slider where the rings will slide.

2. Attach the Rings
   Carefully slide each stainless steel ring onto the slider loops, ensuring they move freely without binding.

3. Check Ring Alignment
   Verify that all rings align symmetrically on both sides to prevent uneven drag or twisting.

4. Test Slider Movement
   Gently pull the slider along the lines to confirm smooth, unobstructed motion.

5. Secure Pull Tabs
   Reattach or adjust pull tabs and Velcro to allow easy slider removal mid-flight.

Final Checks Before Packing

• Inspect for any pinching or twisting of lines caused by ring placement

• Confirm rings glide freely over riser guide rings and fabric

• Verify that no ring edges catch on line hardware or toggles

Maintenance Tips
