KITE AND CONTROL SYSTEM WARNINGS:
• Always have a partner when launching and landing your kite.

• Never allow anyone who is not familiar with power kites to use this product.
• Never use this product without a safety leash system. A loose kite is extremely dangerous.
• The kite/control system is equipped with passive safety systems, which need to be activated by the user
for them to work.
• The leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach yourself to
the kite or any of its components.
• Never use this kite with another control system or safety leash. Only use the control system that is
supplied with this kite. Other brands are not compatible with this design therefore and the safety
system will not work.
• Always wear protective equipment when using this product, for example; helmet, gloves, shoes,
protective eyewear etc.
• Always use a high quality and well maintained kite specic harness.
• Get yourself used to the way all quick release devices work by testing them often in a non-emergency
situation.
• Rinse all quick release devices in fresh water after each use. Quick release devices have a limited lifetime
and must be checked and replaced often.
• Always activate and re-load all safety systems to familiarize yourself with how they work. This is the only
way to be sure that you know how to use them in all situations, and that they are correctly loaded and
safe for use.
• The quick release trim loop and kite leash equipped with a quick release must be replacement after
250hours of use. Replace them before if you see any sign of wear. The wearing of quick release devices is
not considered a warranty issue.
• Never touch the ying lines when the kite is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while under
tension and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never use this product with worn lines. A line that breaks while under tension can cause serious injury
or death.
• Always check your ying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the lines.
• Stay away from tangled ying lines unless the kite is secured to the ground. An unsecured kite can self
launch unexpectedly, and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never allow yourself, or anyone else, to get between the control bar and the kite when using this
product.

QUICK RELEASE CONNECTION
BELOW THE BAR RELEASE RECOMMENDED MODE
ADVANCED RIDERS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, NOT RECOMMENDED
seCUrity
The Quick Release is the primary connection
to the kite. Make sure you connect to the Quick
Release using the nger as shown in the pictures.
All riders should attach their Kite Leash to the Flag Out System. This is the small eyelet on the Stainless
Steel Swivel Ring.
When the release is activated, the kite will ag out and fall to the water/ground.
In all situations make sure that all lines are clear of all working release systems and the kite leash is
connected in the right way.
Riders performing unhooked tricks or who are more condent and have spent many hours Kiting can
attach in Expert mode, where the loop part runs through the large eye of the steel ring. When letting
go of the bar in Expert mode (without activating the release e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will
depower but WILL NOT ag out. Be aware in this situation, the Quick Release will be out of reach and can
therefore not be released. When hooked in and activating the Quick Release the steel ring automatically
slips off and the kite will ag out.
All line to kite connections are made using a “LARKS HEAD” knot.

Activate the Quick Release as shown in the pictures. Providing your leash is attached to the flag out
system the kite will 100% depower.
In the case of an extreme emergency where
you need to completely release from the kite,
use the quick release on the kite leash. This will
completely detach the kite and control system
from the user, and could therefore hit anything or
anyone downwind causing damage, serious injury
or death. RIDE RESPONSIBLY.
