THE WIND WINDOW
Before flying your kite it is very important to understand the ‘wind window’.

also known as the ‘power zone’) and where the kite will create the least power
(edge of the window and zenith).

STEP 2. PREPARING YOUR KITE AND BRIDLES
Take the kite out of the bag and
unfold the kite. Lay the kite down
with the lower skin up, trailing edge
opposite to the wind direction. Put
some sand or other suitable weight on
the trailing edge of the kite to prevent
it from blowing away.
Remove the bridle loops from the
Velcro tag and check that the bridles
are not tangled.

Place the depower bridle with pulleys
flat on the grond, make sure these
lines are free of tangles and twists.
Place the rear line attachment point

ment points on the inside.

STARTING OFF
To start flying your kite you need to follow these steps:
Step 1. Finding the right location to launch your kite.
Step 2. Preparing your kite and bridles.
Step 3. Setting up your bar and lines.
Step 4. Checking your safety systems.
Step 5. Launching the kite.
STEP 1. FINDING THE RIGHT LOCATION TO LAUNCH YOUR KITE
Find a spot to setup, away from airports, powerlines, trees and buildings. When
launching, the area should be free of kiteflyers or other people. Also make sure
there are no sharp objects on the ground, to prevent any damage to your kite.
Starting at the kite, slowly walk
backwards while unwinding your
lines. Walk in the opposite direction
of the wind, this prevents line tangles
and enables you to launch easier and
faster.
When unwinding your
lines, make sure the lines have a little
tension to straighten them out. Place
your bar flat on the ground with the
correct side up (red colour on the
left). Make sure all leader lines are
untangled and not hooking behind
any part of the bar.
Walk back toward the kite with the
lines between your to remove
any twist or tangles. Place the lines
flat on the ground in a straight line.
Attach the flying lines one by one us-
ing larkshead knots.
LARKSHEAD KNOTS
Your fying lines can remain attached to the kite at all times. In
case you need to take them re-attach them to the bridle
loops using larkshead knots.
Take the sleeve of the flying line, and make a larkshead. Slide it
over the knot on the end of the bridle loop. Pull the larkshead
tight and slide it towards the knot on the end of the bridle loop.
Please note the knot and loop on the rear line attachments are
reversed to prevent wrong attachment of the flying lines.

STEP 4. CHECKING YOUR SAFETY SYSTEMS
Before using this kite, please check the manual cupplied with your bar on how
to activate your safety systems and re-attach the safety systems used.
We recommend to test the safety system when using the kite for the first time
so you are aware how the system works, how to activate it and how to re-attach
it after activating.
Never be afraid to use it because it can save your life!
We recommend to check if your quick releases are in working order before
every launch!
Re-connecting the primary safety releaseActivating the primary quick release
Re-connect the primary safety release by placing stainless steel ring on the end
of the depower loop tube into the depower loop center piece. e pin will move
to the inside of the depower loop. Slide down the release cu to secure the pin.
Always make sure all parts are free of sand and snow before re-connecting your
safety system.
To activate your primary quick release, push the release cu part towards the
kite.
e safety system works in two steps:
Primary safety - If you need to lose the power of the kite without losing the kite
itself, the primary safety release can be used. e kite loses its power but is still
connected to the rider by the safety leash.
Secondary safety release - When the kite is still pulling after using your primary
quick release, use the secondary release on the leash.

WARNING!
• e secondary safety system does not function if the primary safety on the
depower loop is not pulled first.
• e secondary safety should only be pulled in case the primary safety was
somehow not sucient to completely depower the kite. Pull this safety only
if there is no other way, as it will completely disconnect you from your kite.
A loose kite might result in dangerous situations for bystanders or other kite
flyers and may also result in permanent loss of the kite.
• After using your safety system, putting tension on any of the other lines can
cause your kite to take o and start to pull.
TIPS REGARDING SAFETY SYSTEMS
• Check if your quick releases are in working order before every launch!
• Regularly rinse your bar and safety systems with tap water.
Activating the secondary quick release Re-connecting the secondary quick release
To activate your secondary quick release, move the red release in the direction
of the arrow.
Re-connect the secondary safety release by placing the loop over the stainless
steel pin, folding the pin down an sliding the relaese cu back in place. Make
sure the release cu is sitting right against the ball after reconnecting.
DEPOWER LOOP LOCK-IN PIN
To prevent accidental unhooking of
your depower loop, you can use the
lock-in pin. Place the lock-in pin
through the spreader bar hook, just
below the depower loop tube.

STEERING
DEPOWERING / POWERING
To make the kite turn, pull on one
side of the bar.
When pushing the bar away, the
power of the kite will be reduced.
To reduce the overall power of the
kite, pull in the line coming out of the
cleat to the desired position.

produce more power.
To increase the overall power of the
kite, pull the line slightly towards you
andmove it away from thecleat. Now
let the line out and let it lock back
into the cleat at the desired position.
STEERING AND POWER CONTROL
When the depower loop is hooked in, the bar can slide over the depower line,
which gives you more control over the power of the kite and can cause the kite
to turn faster when steering.

trailing edge, and fold the bar neatly
into the kite, taking care not to fold
the fibers in the leading edge.
Place your kite in the bag to prevent it
from getting damaged.
TOP/REAR LINE ADJUSTMENTS
In the long term your top lines may stretch from your rear lines. To
get the best performance form you kite, it is important to have the
between the top and rear lines set correctly.
If the kite steers very direct but does
not accelerate in flight, leaving you
with minimum pull, your top lines are
too long / rear lines are too tight.
If the kite steers very slow, with very
little response on your bar, but flies
fast, your top lines are too short / rear
lines are too loose.
Rear lines too tightRear lines too loose
To make any adjustments, it is recommended to use the power adjuster. You
may even change the position of the black stopper balls to adjust the range of
the adjuster if preferred.

REMOVING SAND OR OTHER DIRT FROM YOUR KITE
If there is any sand, mud or grass in the kite, remove it to keep your kite flying
properly and prevent damages.
If the dirt is in the open cells, turn the kite upside down, hold it by the trailing
edge.
Dirt can also be removed by guiding it towards the smallest tip cell via the Dirt
channel along the trailing edge.
Open the Velcro dirt-out to allow the dirt to fall out.
When the dirt in your kite is wet, remove as much as possible; then dry your
kite and repeat the action as described above.

REMOVING SAND OR OTHER DIRT FROM YOUR KITE
If there is any sand, mud or grass in the kite, remove it to keep your kite flying
properly and prevent damages.
If the dirt is in the open cells, turn the kite upside down, hold it by the trailing
edge.
Dirt can also be removed by guiding it towards the smallest tip cell via the Dirt
channel along the trailing edge.
Open the Velcro dirt-out to allow the dirt to fall out.
When the dirt in your kite is wet, remove as much as possible; then dry your
kite and repeat the action as described above.

Bar care:
• Make sure you regularly check your bar for wear and tear. Replace parts when
needed.
• Make sure your lines are free of knots.
• Before launching, always check that your quick release is in working order and
free of sand or other debris.
• After every session, rinse your bar with tap water to remove any sand or salt
from the bar.
If there are problems with your kite or your bar, please contact your Peter Lynn
dealer.
