The adjuster of the Speed4 should
not be fully pulled (depowered) during
launch. A fully-pulled adjuster will result
in a reduction of control as the steering
lines will have no tension. Thanks to
the efficient depower, the pulling of the
adjuster is not really necessary when
launching. If you think that the wind may
be too strong, do not launch the kite.
03.01 Power zone
Caution:
Only launch your
kite in the powerzone in
light winds as your kite can
develop a lot of power when
launched this way. Try to
keep a safety distance of at
least 2 line-lengths from any
object or people downwind.
Lay out your kite across the wind
and weigh down the trailing edge with
enough sand or other suitable objects.
Tension the lines a bit so that the
kite will fill through the air intakes.
Wait until the kite has been pre-
filled enough before launching.
Push the bar forward and take
a step back to release the sand or
weights from the trailing edge. Should
the wind be very light and the kite
unwilling to fly, grab the adjuster
and accelerate the kite by giving the
front lines a series of strong pulls
until it fills enough to fly on its own.
03 LAUNCHING
Please be aware of the Safety Notes (Chapter 15) and thoroughly
check not only the wind and weather conditions, but also all your
equipment, especially the safety system. Do not use any kite outside
of its recommended upper wind range. When launching in strong
winds, we recommend that you have an assistant holding you from
the back of your harness. During launching, always pay attention that
your brilde lines do not get caught on anything or become tangled.
