SECURITY PIN
The harness loop can be used as the rider’s sole connection to the DEPOWER
SYSTEM, as long as it is equipped with a security pin. This security leash is
active only when the rider is hooked into the Harness Loop. Therefore it is
important that a secure connection is made between the Harness Hook and
the Harness Loop. This critical connection allows you to depower the kite
completely, spin your bar freely, and re-launch your kite easily, all while still
being connected to your kite.
• You must be hooked into the Quick Release (QR) Harness Loop in order
to activate the IMMEDIATE DEPOWERTM feature.
• Insert the Security Pin into the Harness Hook under the Loop. (Fig. 1)
• Make sure your quick release and control Systems are set up properly
before launching or engaging the Security Pin on your Harness Loop.
• We suggest that you engage the Security Pin only when ready to launch
and/or the Bypass leash is connected.
CAUTION:
Be advised that when the Security Pin 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 before engag-
ing the Security Pin.
SECURITY PIN – ENGAGING
• Double check that your QR and Control systems are set up properly.
• Hook into your harness loop. (Fig. 2)
• Once hooked into the harness loop, only engage the Security Pin once
you are ready to launch
- (OVERRIDE SYSTEMS ONLY) Disengage the Override ball.
- (FRONTLINE SYSTEMS ONLY) Connect the Tap Out Leash.
• Insert the Security Pin into the center of the harness hook, making
sure it is below the harness loop. Your harness loop must be between
the harness hook and the Security Pin in order for this feature to work
properly. (Fig. 3)
• Make sure that the Security Pin is secure. This will keep your harness
loop from accidentally dropping out of your harness hook. Your Security
Pin is now ready for use.
SECURITY PIN – RELEASING
You may disengage from the Security Pin in two ways:
A. With your hands, slide the Security Pin out of the harness hook. (Fig. 4)
B. Release the Quick Release Handle on your harness loop. (Fig. 5)
