WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
CARE & MAINTENANCE
►
Our HQ4 kite is very easy to care for and requires no special maintenance apart from regular checking for
damage and wear.
►
Using the dirt out opening on the outside of the trailing edge, it is possible to remove sand and dirt out of the
close outside cells.
►
Dirt can be removed with luke-warm water. You can use a gentle soap solution, but not aggressive cleaning
agents. A sponge may help.
►
Do not wash the foil in a washing machine. The colors bleed and the lines tangle a lot.
►
Your kite is a high quality product and repairs are worthwhile in many cases. Your specialist retailer will be
pleased to help.
►
Never leave your kite packed. Do not store the kite packed up for several days if it is damp. The sail will get
unattractive mould spots or become discoloured!
►
Protect your material from unnecessarily long exposure to UV radiation from the sun.
►
You should always wind your lines back onto the winder provided.
►
The useful life of your line is also shortened by UV radiation exposure. Avoid getting unnecessary dirt on
them by going toward them when winding up rather than dragging them towards you. Dirt, knots, twists or
contact with other lines or objects can reduce the breaking load of your line by more than 10%.
REPAIRS
►
Sand and dirt are easily removed via the open chambers or the “Dirt Outs”.
►
Small tears are easily repaired by applying a piece of self-adhesive spinnaker. The area to which it will ad-
here should be clean and dry. If possible, repair the tear from both sides.
►
A loose sewing thread end is easily affixed with a drop of instant glue. This can also be used on the ends of
small tears to keep them from tearing farther. Use the glue very sparingly.
►
You can replace a torn line yourself with a small amount of skill. Your main dealer will be happy to help
you choose the right line material. Since each line on the chute is there twice, the length of the line can be
measured against the other, intact line of the same type.
WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
Our products are developed and manufactured using the highest standards and are subject to continual quality
inspections. If, however, one of our products was processed defectively or has defective material, we will re-
place it free of charge. This applies in addition to your legal rights.
A guarantee cannot be taken over:
►
damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, misuse or neglect
►
repaired or modified without the authorisation of HQ4.
►
returned to HQ4 without a valid receipt
All moving parts are basically wear parts. Check your kite continuously for abrasion and replace damaged
parts before you use your kite.
Send products requiring repair or replacement to your HQ4 dealer. A dealer list can be found under
www.hq4.com.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR FLYING LINES
►
HQ4 will not replace flying lines if they have been used incorrectly, if they are worn from normal use or if they
have failed due to knots in the line. If kites are flown with flying lines that have too low of break strength, the
lines will break.
