Assembly
Guide the released blue end of the depowerloop through the blue loop on the
crossbar.
Now push in the metal pin from the outside, first through the blue loop than into the
guide pocket on the cross-bar.
Please check the reassembled depowerloop before you hook in and launch.
Try a test deployment just to be sure you put the loop back together properly.
Tips for assembly in the water
For this there is a so-called rescue loop directly above the cross-bar on the
depowerloop, with which you can hook up if the safety line is pulled. But you can no
longer release yourself in an emergency. That’s why you should park the kite in the
zenith as long as you’re far enough away from other objects, so you can reassemble
the depowerloop as shown above. Then you can rehook the depowerloop as you
normally would.

Compatibility
If you want to use your FS Quick Release in conjunction with other systems,
Wichard shackle e.g., you will have to get your new combined system tested for its
functionality. On combined safety systems, both release options should remain
functional.
3.1.2. KITE-LEASH
The kite is secured by a KITE-LEASH, so that it doesn’t fly away when the safety is
activated. All FS KITE-LEASHes are also equipped with an emergency release.
KITE-LEASH Quick Release
The Quick Release on the KITE-LEASH is activated in the same way as on the
depowerloop, by pulling on the red ball. Through this you can completely detach
yourself from the kite when only connected via the KITE-LEASH.
