USING THE LOCK IN TUBE

The lock in tube helps keep your trim loop hooked in if you have slack or minimal tension on

your lines while riding.

To use the lock in tube, simply flex the tubing into the head of the harness, under the trim loop.

TRIM LOOP RELEASE CUFF ACTIVATION

To separate yourself from the trim loop in an emergency situation, push the orange release cuff

(located on the chicken loop hub) away from you.

So long as your kite leash is attached to the center line leash attachment, the control bar will

ride up the center safety line and depower the kite.
