Setup Bar and flying lines
The new Core HD Bar System is ready for plug & play. Just
unwind your lines, attach them to the kite and have fun!
The following instructions and the picture on the left should
give you a quick overview how to setup your new kite and
bar.
PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
1. Make sure your launch is open, FREE OF DOWNWIND BYSTANDERS,
hard objects, nearby power lines, buildings and walls, within at least 200 ft.
(60 m), and preferably more. Some riders have needed in excess of 500 ft.
(170 m), to regain control in violent dragging or loftings. Avoid kiteboarding
near airports and in low flight path areas, complaints have led to restricted
access in some areas.
2. Check to see what size kite other kiteboarders are rigging and get their
input on conditions. Do not rig too large a kite for conditions and carefully
consider advice of more experienced riders. Failure to act on prudent advice
has cost some riders severe injury.
3. Check your kite for tears or leaky bladders. If you have leaky bladders or
tears in your kite, repair them before flying.
4. Check ALL kite, harness, control bar lines, webbing, pigtails, bridles, the
chicken loop and leaders for knots, wear or abrasions. If the line sheathing
shows any breaks, replace them. The pigtails should be replaced no less
frequently than every 6 months on inflatable kites. Inspect and test your
EJECTOR quick release.
5. Make sure your flying lines are equal as they will stretch unevenly with
use. If they have knots that can´t be easily untied, replace your flight lines.
6. The 5th line should never be under tension. It`s only working as a safety
device. If you leave the kite unattended, wrap up your lines, deflate the kites
leading edge and roll it up. It is best to place the kite in a bag to avoid UV
and wind damage.
7. Walk down your lines and examine them carefully. Just before launch pick
your bar up and carefully look down the lines for twists and tangles that
could cause the kite to be dangerously uncontrollable. While you are holding
your bar up look down the lines, shake your bar to make sure the center
lines are connected to the leading edge of the kite. Be particularly careful,
slow and methodical in high winds. Multiple, careful preflighting in higher
winds is strongly advised.
8. Inflate the kite to a max of 6psi and close the FastPump-Clamps properly.
9. Double-check the weather conditions and if you´re in doubt, don´t go out!
Have fun and enjoy your safe ride!
