TAKING CARE
OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
Always carefully inspect all of your equipment before using it.
Always have a partner when launching and landing your kite.
Always learn using a small two-line trainer before using a larger more
complicated kite.
Regularly rinse your kite, bridles and pulleys with clean water.
Do not leave your kite exposed to the sun when not using it. Do not
leave your kite flapping in the wind on the beach.
The speed system and bridle lines will require maintenance just like
any high-performance equipment in racing sports. Regularly check the
condition of your line connectors, your pre-lines on the bar side, and
your lines.
Never use this product without a safety leash system. A loose kite is
extremely dangerous to assistance.
Should you find any sign of wear, change the defect part without further
delay. Most of our spare parts are available on the market. Customers
should refer to the product data sheet and to our warnings.
Use self-adhesive spinnaker tape to repair the kite’s canopy fabric.
Do not dry your kite in the sun and do not store it wet. Pack the kite care-
fully without damaging the leading edge battens to ensure its longevity.
