RHEA depower system

Product catalog summary

Assembly Instructions:
1. Prepare the setup of the parts as illustrated.
2. Complete the bar assembly in the order specified from a) to c).

Main-lines-attachments: Connect to the main points of the kite ("M").
Brake-lines-attachments: Connect to the brakes of the kite ("F").

Tuning and Tips:
The Streamer allows adjustment of the kite's inclination angle, enabling adaptation to varying wind conditions and personal preferences. To decrease power when the bar is fully depowered, pull the blue loop of the streamer towards you. To increase power when the bar is fully powered, loosen the streamer by pulling down, lifting to the side, and letting it slide upwards.

Launch Instructions:
For launching, push the bar away to fully depower the kite. Pull the center-line briefly to initiate launch, then allow the wing to accelerate before pulling the bar towards you for more power. Avoid pulling the bar during launch to prevent setting the brakes.

Security Systems:
The RHEA depower features two security systems: the security-leash and the quickrelease.

Quickrelease: Allows separation from the mainlines in emergencies by pulling the handle, leaving you connected only by the security-leash.
Security-leash: Stops air-current around the kite, ceasing traction and allowing controlled landing. If the kite lands on its nose, maintain tension to allow it to reposition for relaunch.

Tip: After using the quickrelease, reset it by hooking the orange Y-line into your harness to keep the kite on the water, freeing your hands for resetting.

Power Adjustment:
Illustrated power levels: maximum, medium, and minimum. Adjust by loosening the streamer as needed.

The Streamer allows you, in addition to the depower-function, to vary the angle of inclination. That way you can adapt the average power of your RHEA to rising or weakening windconditions, and adjust it to your personal If your bar is in totally depowered position and your RHEA still has too much power, pull the blue loop of the streamer towards you; that way the inclination and with it the overall power of the RHEA get smaller. Pull until you have the feeling that the powerrange of the kite is again at it's optimum. If your bar is in totally powered position and you're still lacking power, loosen...
