| Ripped fabric If the kite has a major tear, consult your local dealer for details of your nearest official repair centre. The same goes for any damage sustained to a strut. Repair any minor tears using the following recommendations: • rinse and thoroughly dry the kite, and lay it out on a clean and flat surface, • cut out two identically sized strips of adhesive mylar/repair tape large enough to cover the tear with an extra centimetre all around. • stick one piece carefully over the tear, rubbing it down in order to eliminate any air bubbles, • stick the other piece on the other side of the sail in the same way. Inner tubes You should choose a clean and sheltered spot out of the wind for any repairs on inner tubes. You will need the repair kit supplied with this kite and two flying lines. • Disconnect single inflation device, • Undo the velcro strap at the base of the damaged strut in order to access the inner tube, • Open the valve and remove the velcro strap from around the valve, • Tie one end of the flying line to the valve using a lark's head knot, this will help you to re-insert the inner tube following repairs, • Push the valve into the strut to free it, then gently pull the inner tube out of the end of the strut ensuring the flying line stays connected. • Clean any sand and salt from the inner tube, inflate it and immerse it in water in order to locate the puncture, |
