.1..1. fRoNt-LINe-sAfetyLINe (fLs)
In an emergency the FLS lets the kite blow out on one front line.
In order to use the FLS, your Safety Leash must be connected with the steel ring of the FLS
ending up at the Depowerloop.
After an emergency release the bar slides a few meters upwards along a front line till it
reaches a stopper (ELC in the front line).
To relaunch reach carefully along a front line till you get to the bar. Now you can reassamble
the Depowerloop and then hook into the harness. Afterward let carefully go of the pulled front
line and then relaunch the kite for-
ward or backward depending on its
position.
Attention: Never wrap the lines
around fingers, hands or other body
parts when launching the kite! This
might cause severe injuries as soon
as the lines get pulled!
The bar can be easily unwinded after
rotations. Though the front lines get
twisted while practising a high num-
ber of rotations in the same
direction (analogical to most of the
4–line inflatable kites). If the lines
are extremely twisted, the safety
function might be restricted!
Therefore you should check before every relaunch if the front lines are
twisted. If this is the case, you can untangle the lines by unwinding
the Depowerloop and the Trimmer.
