4.1. VARIO CLEAT
The Vario Cleat is a multi-functional depower adjuster. The Vario Cleat allows you to adjust the
power of the kite during the flight. In order to assure optimum access to the Vario Cleat it can be
easily adjusted according to the rider’s body size.
4.1.1. DEPOWERING
1. Pull the black adjuster towards your body until you get the desired depower effect.
2. Let go of the adjuster and the line will be locked between the teeth of the Vario Cleat.
3. To prevent the adjuster from getting tangled, it can be secured to the Vario Cleat with the Velcro.

release the line.

4.1. KOOK-PROOF LINE ATTACHMENT
One of the most common mistakes in setting up a kite is getting the steering lines and the flying
lines mixed up. In order to avoid this problem, DUOTONE has developed the Trust Bar and the
Kook-Proof-System. The color code and the alternating position of the loops and knots permits only
the right connection.
IMPORTANT: THE KOOK-PROOF-SYSTEM WORKS ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH A NORTH KITEBOAR-
DING KITE TILL 2018 AND ALL DUOTONE KITES.
