In order to close the loop again, the
metal pin right under the release
sleeve must be led through the me-
tal bow on the loop. Then let the
sleeve spring down and the loop is
reassembled.
3. 1. 4. attachment of safety- and Flying-lines
Depending on the kite model you have, the Guide-Block makes it possible to attach a Safety
Line without putting on an additional Stopper. The correct procedure for attaching the Sa-
fety Endline and the Flying Lines is explained in this section.
Because the Guide-Block comes with a very narrow
hole and the attachment of the Safety Endline without
the correct tools is relatively tricky, a looped-on white
piece of line, which allows for an easier thread-in of the
Line is attached to the junction of the Depower Leader
Lines and the Trimmer.
In order to pull the Safety Endline through the Guide-
Block, we recommend sticking the white line through
the respective hole in the Guide-Block and then
through the loop of the Safety Endline. Then again
through the hole in the Guide-Block in order to be able
to pull the Line through the Guide-Block.
After you have pulled the Safety Endline through the
hole, you can stick the white ‘Line Tool’ under the neo-
prene piece above the Trimmer.
The attachment of the Flying lines to the end of the Depower Leader Line is very easy. Just
sleeve the ends of the lines around the end of the Leader Line. The metal ring will serve as
a stopper so that the lines stay at their place.
3.1.5. safety leash on the speed3
The kite can still be controlled in accelerating
winds with the Depower System. Despite this, it
could be necessary in an emergency situation to
activate the Depower Loop Quick Release. To pre-
vent your kite from flying away upon release, it is
secured with a Kite Leash. All Flysurfer Kite Leas-
hes are equipped with a emergency release sy-
stem.
The Quick Release on the Kite Leash is activated
by pushing the red activation cylinder away.
This way you can separate from your kite, when
the kite is only attached to the Leash. This is es-
pecially important when you are still in danger af-
ter activating the Depower Loop (e.g., if the kite
has become tangled in the propeller of a ship or
with another kite).
Be careful however, that your kite can fly away and endanger other people leewards of you.
