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.

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.

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!

To make the kite turn, pull on one
side of the bar.
When pushing the bar away, the
wer 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.

POWER ADJUSTER
For faster steering, pull in the bar be-
with a tighter turning radius.
When pulling in the bar, the kite will
produce more power.
To increase the overall power of the
kite, pull the line slightly towards you
and moveit away from the cleat. 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.

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
st, your top lines are too short / rear
lines are too loose.
Rear lines too tightar lines too loose
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.

Bar care:
• Make sure youregularly 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 sandor 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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
of the kite sport puts a high strain on the equipment involved. By taking good
care of your equipment, you can minimize the wear on your equipment.
Kite care:
• Inspect your equipment before launch. Check for tears, abrasions, undone
stitching, andall other forms of damage.
•
Regularly remove sand or other dirt from your kite, to improve perfor-
