FIREBALL
QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM (QRS)
You should be familiar with the operation of the
QRS in the event of a situation where you wish to
activate the QRS feature.
QRS - OPERATION
Grab the release body and firmly push away from
your body (in the direction of the arrow) until it
meets the bottom of the spinning handle (FIG 1).
Activating this primary quick release (QR1) will
still leave you attached to your kite via the 1X
Security line.
For complete separation from your kite, you will
need to activate Quick Release Handle on your
bypass leash. This is covered in detail in the
Bypass Leash Operation Page 18.
QRS - SETTING / RESETTING
• Slide the QR Pin through the Fireball Body
Trapezoid. (Fig. 1)
• Fold the pin back over itself. (Fig. 2)
• Lift the QR Body up the Handle Shaft. (Fig. 2)
• Lower the QR Body over the QR Pin. (Fig. 3)
•Your QR system is now ready for use.
FIREBALL
AUTOLOCK™
The Fireball is the riders primary connection to the
depower system, as long as it is connected to the
Fireball Harness.
It is important that a secure connection is made
between the Fireball Harness and the Fireball.
This critical connection allows you to depower the
kite, spin your bar freely and re-launch your kite
easily.
We suggest that you engage the Fireball
Autolock™ only when ready to launch and/or the
Bypass Leash is connected.
Fireball Autolock™ Engaging.
•Double check that your QR and control system
are set up correctly.
•Pull the Autolock™ outwards so that it sits on the
Socket Bar. (fig 1)
•Hook the Fireball into the Fireball Spreader
Socket. (fig 2)
•Once sitting in the Socket push the Autolock
upwards so that it auto-engages (fig 3).
•Make sure that the Fireball Gate is secure, and
that the Fireball is free to move around in the
socket. (fig 4)
Fireball Gate - Releasing
With your fingers either pull the Autolock™
outwards and downwards so that it sits on the
Socket Bar.
CAUTION: Be advised that when the Fireball
Autolock™ is engaged , you have a semi-
permanent connection to the kite. As a
precaution, know where your Quick Release
Handle is and be educated on how to activate
it prior to engaging the Fireball Gate.
