3. 1. 6. Depower loop leash / „suicide leash“
There is a small, spliced into itself, so-called ‘Suici-
de Line’ included. This should be used only by ex-
perienced riders as a Depower Leash for the so-
called ‘Suicide-Mode’.
CauTIOn:
The kiter is then attached strongly to
the kite and bypasses the Quick Release. If the ki-
ter should now let go of the Bar while unhooked,
the kite would be depowered by the Depower Sy-
stem, but would continue to fly and can no lon-
ger be steered, which could lead to a very dange-
rous, or even deadly situation. Thanks to the Suici-
de Line, it is possible, to activate the safety on the
Quick Release while hooked-in and at the same
time to activate the series FLS.
This way the kite goes into Safety Mode when the
Depower Loop is activated. Nevertheless, if the
kite is still flying and attached with the leash, and
there is no opportunity to catch the Bar, you must
use the Emergency Separation function of the Sa-
fety Leash. In the case of an emergency separa-
tion, the kite flies uncontrollably and can injure a
third party.
In order to attach the Unhooked-Line to the De-
power Loop, this must be opened and the the Un-
hooked Line must be attached to the end of the
Chicken Loop.
Pay attention that the metal clamp of the Chicken
Loop goes through the Unhooked Line. Next, let
the red release sleeve spring downward.
In order that the FLS is also activated with Quick Release activation, the end of the Safety
Leash must be connected to the Unhooked Line and the FLS Ring.
3.2. FrOnT lIne saFeTY
With the FLS, the kite can flag out on one of teh
Front Lines of the kite. The remaining pull is extre-
mely low and it is possible to restart the kite.
Despite the FLS, it is extremely important never
to leave the normal wind area.
The FLS acts as an extension and trys to keep
your kite from flying away when separated, to in-
sure the safety of other persons in the area. Da-
mage to the kite can occur when flown outside of
the normal wind area.
After the activation of the Depower Quick Release, the Bar slides upwards some meters.
Move hand over hand to restart on the FLS to the Bar and reassemble the Depower Loop
(see 3.1.3.)
Keep the Fls tightened, so that the kite cannot start and pay attention, that the free
section of the Fls is not caught in anything (body parts, harness, etc.)! Then attach the
Depower loop to the harness again and let go carefully of the Fls. now the kite will un-
fold in its normal flight form and can be restarted.
The Bar can be untwisted after rotation jumps, without the FLS tangling with the Front
Lines. The FLS and the Front Lines should not be twisted before each start. If they are
tangled, untangle them by powering up the INFINITY BAR. Pay attention when riding that
the Leash never becomes tangled.
The Leash may also not be wound around the Double Depower Rope or around the Bar, or
the Safety System may be impaired or not function at all.
Check and recheck the Leash when riding and if needed, adjust with your hand. It can also
be assumed that the remaining pull on the FLS will be higher than normal, when the kite
flips over or gets caught in the Lines.
