CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before every launch, ensure that all safety
systems including the Quickrelease, safety line
and the tube it travels through are always fully
functional and free from sand and dirt.
Rinse your Sensor bar with fresh water after
every use! While rinsing the Quickrelease, feed
the safety line in the QR channel back and forth.
Check whether the Quickrelease, safety line
movement and ceramic bearings are clean and
repeat the process if needed.
Lubricate the Speed Valve cap
occasionally with the enclosed
silicon lubrication pad or with some
silicon or Teflon spray. Apply only a
very small amount of lubricant.
Do not pack up a wet kite.

LINE LENGTH CHECK
You should check your line lengths on a regular basis. Attach all 4 flying line
ends on a hook.
When the adjuster is open fully and you pull the bar towards your body all
lines have to be the same length.

WARNING
Always check all lines and the correct attachment
of all lines to the kite prior to flying your kite!
LINE ATTACHMENT TO THE KITE
To avoid mistakes when connecting the lines to
the kite, the Sensor Bar lines are colour coded and
have alternating positions for the loops and knots.
This ensures that there is only one possible way to
attach the lines.
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
all your quick releases.
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. 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 metho-
dical in high winds. Multiple, careful preflighting in
higher winds is strongly advised. Inflate the kite to
7–8 psi and close the fastpump-clamps properly.
To depower the kite with the adjuster, always keep
a little tension on the backlines. Before starting the
kite you should always check all bar safety systems
and feel comfortable with all features on the bar.
Double-check the weather conditions and if you´re
in doubt, don´t go out!
