WARNING – CARE AND MAINTANANCE
Using a kite is dangerous and can cause severe injuries or death. Therefore,
before every kite launch, ensure that all safety systems on this product
including the quick release, safety line and ceramic bearing are fully functional.
Before every kite launch check if the safety system is opening freely and is
free from sand, dirt, or other debris. Before every kite launch check if the PU
covered safety line can freely move up and down though the safety system
and is free from sand, dirt, or other debris. Before every kite launch, check
if the safety system is spinning easily meaning the ceramic bearing is clean
and functional. Always check if your safety leash release is working before
connecting it to the bar. If for any reason, should any of the above mentioned
mechanism seem stuck, or not functioning properly, rinse all the mechanisms
with fresh water. While rinsing, move the quick release up and down, move
the safety line back and forth and spin the safety system clockwise and
counterclockwise. These movements allow fresh water to clean out sand, dirt
and other debris that can prevent these mechanisms to function properly.
Repeat the process if needed. Do not use the product if any of the safety
features are not working properly and contact your retailer for help or refer to
the support section of this manual.
After every use rinse all safety mechanisms mentioned above with fresh water
and check the safety functionality before every kite launch.

7.
Before every kite launch, we also recommend checking all product lines for
wear and tear, cuts, knots, and other damage that can cause them to break
during use. Especially check the lines that move, such as the depower line and
slider line. Before every kite launch, check the PU tubes on the central lines
running through the bar for damage, cuts, cracks etc. Do not launch a kite if
any of the lines or PU tubes are damaged or worn out.
For the best performance of your bar and kite, we also recommend checking
if the line lengths are equal. Backlines can be trimmed under the floater and
frontlines with making knots on the sleeving or pigtails.
We recommend storing the bar in the bar bag it comes with and in dry
conditions with moderate temperature. To extend the lifespan of this product,
we suggest storing the PU covered lines as straight as possible, especially
without being folded or bent in a way that creates crinkles on the PU tubes.
When rolling up the lines on the bar, we suggest pulling the PU tubes all the
way out of the bar towards the chicken loop and then roll the lines. In such
manner the PU tubes can be easily stowed away in a crinkle free manner.
Avoiding extremely high temperatures, such as when leaving the bar in a hot
car, and avoiding extreme sun exposure can also help prevent wear and tear
and prolong your product lifespan.
Most parts of the bar can be easily serviced and replaced. Please contact your
retailer or refer to the support section of this manual should any of the bar
parts show wear or damage.
SINGLE FRONT LINE SAFETY
When triggering the safety, one of the front lines acts as a safety line and flags
out the kite without pressure on the other front line, leaving the kite in a stable
flagged out position without any power. The bar goes out six meters from the
user and hits a stopper. The kite stays in the safe flagged out position until the
user is ready to relaunch the kite after pulling back the bar and re-assembling
the safety system.
AFTER EVERY SESSION RINSE ALL SAFETY
MECHANISMS MENTIONED ABOVE WITH FRESH
WATER AND CHECK THEIR FUNCTIONALITY
BEFORE EVERY KITE LAUNCH.

8.
LINE RIGGING AND LINE CONNECTION TO A KITE
Warning – Before every kite launch, always check if all lines are correctly
and safely attached to the kite.
All bar and kite lines are color coded and dierentiated by knots and loops to
prevent the user to make a mistake when connecting the lines to a kite. Do not
use this product and do not launch a kite if the lines of this product are not
correctly attached to the kite according to the color coding.
For the best possible performance and safety, we recommend every user of
this product to untangle all four flying lines before connecting to a kite. During
rigging of the lines, we also suggest checking all product lines for wear and
tear, cuts, knots and other damage that can cause them to break during use.
Especially check the lines that move, such as the depower line and slider line.
Do not launch a kite if any of the lines are damaged or worn out.

SHORT SAFETY LEASH ATTACHMENT TO HARNESS AND
BAR
Warning - Safety leash must be connected to the harness and the bar
before every kite launch and during all sessions.
Always attach the short safety leash to the harness spreader bar or a
designated leash connection ring on the front of the harness. To attach the
leash, pull the leash release handle in the direction of the arrows on the release
handle while pulling on the line outside the release handle in the opposite
direction. Feed the line hanging from the release handle through the harness
spreader bar or the designated leash ring harness connection and connect it
back to the release pin outside the leash release handle. Hold the line in place
on the pin and pull the release handle in the opposite direction of the arrows on
it and insert the pin back into the release handle to re-assemble the leash safety
system.
To connect the short safety leash to the bar, click the carabinier into the
Spinnect leash connection located below the quick release safety on the bar.

10.
QUICK RELEASE SAFETY SYSTEM CONNECTION TO
HARNESS
Warning – Check your safety system and safety leash safety system for
functionality before every kite launch and after every use. In case of
problems, refer to care and maintenance section of this manual.
Clip the chicken loop onto the harness hook and insert the donkey stick under
the chicken loop and above the harness hook, as shown on the image.

11.
TRIGGERING THE QUICK RELEASE SAFETY
To trigger the safety system and separate yourself from the kite in case of an
emergency, push away the red part of the safety system, away from your body
and in the direction of the arrow on the red part. This causes the kite to flag out
on the safety line and come down without any power.
RESETING THE QUICK RELEASE SAFETY
To reset the quick release safety, simply push back the chicken loop inside the
safety system until it is locked back into position. You will hear a click sound
once the loop is back in the locked position. Check if the red safety part is back
all the way down and pull sharply on the chicken loop to double check if it is
correctly locked back before launching a kite.

12.
TRIGGERING AND RESETING THE LEASH RELEASE
SAFETY
Warning - Safety leash must be connected to the harness and the bar
before every kite launch and during all sessions.
To trigger the safety system on the short safety leash in case of an emergency,
push away the release handle in the direction of the arrows on it, away from
your body.
To re-assemble the short leash safety system, connect the line back to the
release pin outside the leash release handle. Hold the line in place on the pin
and pull the release handle in the opposite direction of the arrows on it and
insert the pin back into the release handle to re-assemble the leash safety
system.

13.
POWER AND DEPOWER OF A KITE
Warning - Always use the right kite size for your ability and wind
conditions. Do not overestimate your abilities. Be aware that strong gusts
can be life threatening.
ABOVE THE BAR DEPOWER
The kite’s power can be adjusted with the depower line system above the bar.
The kite can be both depowered and powered up.
Depower:
To depower the kite, grab the depower loop and pull down towards your body
until you reach the desired power of the kite. Stick the depower loop on either
side of the depower clam cleat, to prevent the depower loop getting tangled in
the lines.
Powering up:
To power up the kite, grab the depower handle and pull down towards yourself
a little to disconnect the depower line from the depower clam cleat. Then
slowly release the tension and allow the depower line to slide back up towards
the depower clam cleat until you reach the desired power of the kite and let go.
The line will automatically bite in the depower clam cleat when you let go.

14.
ON THE BAR DEPOWER
The kite’s power can also be adjusted by the bar position on the PU covered
lines. The kite is powered up by moving the bar towards your body and
depowered by moving the bar towards the kite.
BAR WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
The width of the bar can be adjusted to either 45 or 50 cm via the bar width
adjuster inside the bar end. Simply pull out the bar width adjuster, twist it by
180 degrees and push it back in the bar end until it clicks back in place. Always
make sure both bar width adjusters are set to the same bar width.

AUTOMATIC FRONTLINE UNTWIST
The bar features an automatic front line untwist function. After a kite loop,
or a rotational trick, untwist the bar and frontlines should be untwisted
automatically. If not, move the bar down and the frontlines will untwist with the
bar movement. Always make sure the red side of the bar is in your left hand
after untwisting the bar.
