Quick releases
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, OPERATE YOUR KITE WITHOUT THE KITE LEASH AND THE QUICK RE­LEASES . TRY AND CHECK THEM BEFORE EACH SESSION. USING A QUICK RELEASE INSTINCTIVELY NEEDS LOTS OF PRACTICE. THE QUICK RELEASE REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF STRENGTH TO ACTION. Notes : many riders have the instinct to hang on desperately to the bar if they get into difficulties. This is wrong. You should not hesitate to dump the bar and retain the kite via the leash. Operating safety device and relaunching a kite is easy but needs some practice.
Warning: You must learn how to use the quick release before you need it in a critical situation. Many riders have the bad habit of trying their quick releases for the first time when they are in dangerous conditions, unaware of how it should function.
The quick releases of the bar are designed to work for 35Kg-100Kg total rider weights following the NF S 52-503 French standard.
You must check all the components (lines, bridles, safety devices, etc...) before each ride. A used component can be dangerous for you and people around if it breaks. If you notice a used component go to your local dealer to change it.
IMPORTANT:
Before launching your kite, you must have understood the purpose and operation of the quick releases fitted to your control bar:
A quick release is located on the chicken loop
A secondary quick release is located on the safety line
To connect the chicken loop to the harness hook please refer to the diagrams.
