SWIVEL OPERATION
When front lines become twisted after a kite loop or a rotation, they can easily be untwisted by
grasping the top of the Torque Loop—above the release handle—and rotating it until the front lines
are no longer twisted.
IMPORTANT:
Continuous rotations in the same direction can put excess strain on the flagging line. To ensure the
product always works properly and to diminish wear, be sure to manually untwist the flagging line after each session.
