How To Arrange professional Parachute Bag......
Pulling the ejection handles resulted in the following actions:
Rotation of the spring-loaded arm guards to a horizontal position (see diagram item #8 showing the arm guards in the vertical, "down" position).
Release of the M3-catapult initiator safety lock. This on-seat initiator was located inside the seat pan and under the left armrest and would be fired only after canopy jettison.
Firing of the canopy unlatch-M3 initiator. This second on-seat initiator was located inside the seat pan and under the right armrest . Its hot gas was sent to the canopy-jettison hardware, located off-seat, through the ballistic hose coming out of the top-right portion (diagram item #3) of the seat. The gas would trigger a series of off-seat mechanisms, which would unlock the canopy and forcefully eject it from the aircraft. (Note: This initiator could also be fired by raising the small lever (diagram #12) under the left hand seat firing handle. Firing the M3 initiator in this manner will not remove the safety pin from the catapult initiator so that the seat could not fire until the firing handle was subsequently raised in this case.)
