KITE fABRIC REpAIR
All major tears should be taken to a professional repair shop. Consult your
dealer for good recommendation. Small tears can be repaired with the repair
tape supplied in the kite repair kit.
•
Lay the torn kite on a smooth surface.
•
Clean the area with fresh water, and let dry.
•
Cut 2 pieces of repair tape; make sure they are the same size and big enough
to cover the tear. It is also recommended to round the tips of the tape. This will
help prevent the tape from peeling off while kiting.
•
Place one piece of tape on the tear and smooth it out.
•
Place the other piece of tape on the other side of the kite and smooth it out.
DEpOwER LINE REpLACEmENT
Due to the constant abrasion of the control bar against the depower line, you
might find it necessary to replace the depower line. We recommend replacing it
once it appears to be half the original thickness.
•
Using a small flat head screwdriver, insert the screwdriver at the gap between
the bungee and the cover, lift the bungee up and off the hook. The cover should
now be easy to lift up.
•
Remove and discard old depower line from the system.
•
Take Insignia tape (or masking tape) and tape around one end of the new
depower line. This will help you weave the line through the system.
•
Make a simple knot on the other end of the depower line.
•
Thread the depower line through the clam cleat and through one hole of the
Slider QR system.
• Thread the depower line back through the second hole of the Slider QR system,
but leave a little bit of slack to adjust the bar throw later on.
•
Thread the depower line through the clam cleat, in between depower line knot
and the middle of the cleat.
•
Don’t forget to also thread the depower line through the bar throw adjuster tab.
•
Thread the depower line through the pulley and back down through
the clam cleat.
• Thread the depower line through the Velcro hook and make a simple knot
at the end of it.
•
Cut the insignia tape off.
•
Adjust the clam cleat to your desired position and pull the depower line tight.
•
Using a thin line, stretch the bungee cord up and over
the little hook on the Slider QR cover. Remove the thin line.
