Cracks due to normal aging of seal material are acceptable. 10. Inspect the Teflon seal. Be sure that the cup side of the seal is facing the piston (fig. 2-8). FIRING ALTITUDE CHECK To check for the proper firing altitude of the automatic ripcord release, you must first be familiar with the automatic parachute ripcord release test set. AUTOMATIC PARACHUTE RIPCORD RELEASE TEST SET The automatic parachute ripcord release test set, shown in figure 2-9, is designed to test the sensitivity of the automatic ripcord release to a preset pressure altitude through use of an aneroid blocking mechanism. The principal action that you test is the consistency of the aneroid in actuating the release mechanism at a predetermined altitude. To do Figure 2-9.—Automatic parachute ripcord release test set. 2-5
