kite and control systeM warnings:

 
•   Always have a partner when launching and landing your kite.
•   Always learn to use a small trainer kite before attempting to use a larger power kite.
•   Never allow anyone who is not familiar with power kites to use this product.
•   Never use this product without a safety leash system. A loose kite is extremely dangerous.
•   The kite/control system is equipped with passive safety systems, which need to be activated by the user 

for them to work.

•   The leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach yourself to 

the kite or any of its components.

•   Never use this kite with another control system or safety leash. Only use the control system that is 

supplied with this kite. Other brands are not compatible with this design therefore and the safety 
system will not work.

•   Always wear protective equipment when using this product, for example; helmet, gloves, shoes, 

protective eyewear etc.

•   Always use a high quality and well maintained kite specific harness.
•   Get yourself used to the way all quick release devices work by testing them often in a non-emergency 

situation.

•   Rinse all quick release devices in fresh water after each use. Quick release devices have a limited lifetime 

and must be checked and replaced often.

•   Always activate and re-load all safety systems to familiarize yourself with how they work. This is the only 

way to be sure that you know how to use them in all situations, and that they are correctly loaded and 
safe for use.

•   The quick release trim loop and kite leash equipped with a quick release must be replacement after 

250hours of use. Replace them before if you see any sign of wear. The wearing of quick release devices is 
not considered a warranty issue.

•   Never touch the flying lines when the kite is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while under 

tension and can cause serious injury or death.

•   Never use this product with worn lines. A line that breaks while under tension can cause serious injury 

or death.

•   Always check your flying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the lines.
•   Stay away from tangled flying lines unless the kite is secured to the ground. An unsecured kite can self 

launch unexpectedly, and can cause serious injury or death.

•   Never allow yourself, or anyone else, to get between the control bar and the kite when using this 

product.
