MANIAc bAR: 5Th LINE sETUP

20 - MANIAc MANUAL

5TH LINE SETUP  

Although the ManiaC was designed on four lines and 
performs optimally on this 4-line setup in the correct 
rider weight and wind range , the 5th line setup allows 
for increased wind range and additional stability of 
the ManiaC in overpowered conditions. Be sure to test 
the tension on the 5th line (after you have added the 
v-line to kite) once you have made the conversion.  
Launch the kite after conversion and sheet the bar 
in.  The 5th line should not have too much tension on 
the line when sheeting in, nor have too little.  It is the 
riders responsibility to determine the correct amount 
of tension required for optimal performance.

5th line setup can be purchased from your local 
dealer to complement your ManiaC.

Remove the safety ring from the 

bungee line.

Pull the bungee through the PU 

tube towards the swivel.

2.

Remove the front line (orange) swivel 

connector  from  swivel  and  the  bungee 

from the front line. Find additional 

connector in ManiaC accessory bag.
