Bar set up and tunning
Bar set up
1. Unroll your lines facing the wind until the end of the lines.
Turn around with your back against the wind and lay your
bar down with the red end on the left side and the blue end
on the right side.
2. Untangle the lines by walking toward the kite. Make sure
there are no knots on the lines. Hold the red back line in your
left hand and the blue back line in your right hand.
3. Make sure the bridles are free of tangles and free of defects.
4. Connect the front lines to the grey front connectors of the
kite. Do a small loop knot to connect the lines with the kite.
5. Connect your back lines the same way as the front lines.
Remember to connect the red on red and blue on blue.
Warning, the front and back lines must not cross each other.
Tunning
Before every riding session, you should try the power of your kite.
Do this on the beach with your kite at zenith position. Pull down
on the bar as much as you can. The bar should reach the chicken
loop. This gives you an estimate power potential of the kite in the
current wind conditions.
To decrease the power of your kite you can pull down the de-
power line and secure it in the clam cleat. Now, try the power of
the kite at zenith again to find the optimal setting. (photo 1.)
To increase the power of your kite release the depower line from
the clam cleat and the kite will pull the depower line up. When
you think the depower line reach the optimum setting, secure it in
the clam cleat again. Now, try the power of the kite at zenith again
to find the optimal setting. (photo 2.)
