RECON GENERATION 2
RESETTING THE RECON SYSTEM
RESETTING THE RECON SYSTEM
Your Recon System can and should be reset before winding your lines on your control bar at the end of your session. The Recon can also be reset on
the water, if you choose, but please note this is an intermediate-advanced technique.
Instructions
to reset your Recon
(on land):
• Reach forward and grab the CAS.
NOTE: DO NOT wrap the leader line, flying line, etc. around your hand.
Simply grab the CAS and pull it back toward you.
• Pull the CAS back toward the RECON release at the top of the de-
power line.
• Insert the release pin into the release cage. (Fig.1)
• Fold the release pin through the lock slide. (Fig.2 a & b)
• Pull down on the lock slide to allow the release pin to clear the top of
the release cage. (Fig.3)
•
Make sure the release cage is over the release pin. NOTE: This step
is very important, because if you do not replace the release cage
correctly, the Recon may reactivate when you relaunch.
• Your Recon Release System is now reset.
• You are now ready to either relaunch your kite from the water or to
wind your lines onto your control bar.
Instructions to reset your Recon (on water):
• While remaining hooked into your QR Harness Loop, swim or pull
yourself along the side leader lines toward the Centerline
Adjustment Strap (CAS).
NOTE: Make sure to keep yourself free of your flying lines.
• Reach forward and grab the CAS.
NOTE: DO NOT wrap the leader line, flying line, etc. around your
hand. Simply grab the CAS and pull it back toward you.
• Pull the CAS back toward the RECON release at the top of the de-power
line.
• Insert the release pin between the de-power lines. (Fig.1)
• Fold the release pin through the de-power lines. (Fig.2)
• Push the stainless steel ring up to allow the release pin to pass it,
pull down on the ring to make sure it contains the pin. (Fig.3)
• Make sure the ring is over the release pin.
NOTE: This step is very important, because if you do not replace
the release cage correctly, the Recon may reactivate when you
relaunch.
• Your Recon Release System is now reset.
• You are now ready to relaunch your kite from the water. Immediately
return to shore and reset the system. This reset is intended to get
you back to the beach and is not intended for long term flying. If
you get into further trouble, be ready to push up on the ring or pull
your QRS.
