2010 POWERDRIVE IDS CONTROL SYSTEM USER MANUAL
OVERSLIDE™ IDS
1) The operation of the OverSlide™ IDS unit is
simple. Position the unit in your desired loca-
tion along the depower main line (Fig.1). Many
people ride with the unit set at the point where
they can reach the power adjusters but where
it does not interfere with normal depower.
2) Squeeze the tension ring to achieve your
desired holding tension. The tighter you
squeeze, the more diffi cult it is to move the
unit. Separate the tension ring to reduce the
load tension.
3) To spin your control system, place the bar
up near the OverSlide™ IDS unit (Fig.2). Prior
to letting the bar go, spin the bar in the di-
rection needed to take the twists out of your
control lines. When the lines have corrected
themselves, grab ahold of the bar and resume
steering. Take note that you are holding the
bar in the correct orientation. The red grip pat-
tern should be on the left and the gray grip
pattern should be on the right.
4) To achieve Depower on Demand (Stage 1
depower) push the control bar into the Over-
Slide™ IDS unit, pushing the unit towards
the kite until the desired depower is achieved
(Fig.3). The resistance to move the Over-
Slide™ unit will depend on the amount of ten-
sion you choose on the tension ring. Higher
ring tensions will require more force to push the
OverSlide™ unit towards the kite to achieve
Depower on Demand’s fi rst stage of depower.
5) If need be, you can re-position the unit back
to your desired location by sliding OverSlide™
down the main line.
