DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN TENSIONING THE GLIDER.
If ex cess force is encountered check:
ü The side w ires are not tw isted or kinked
ü
The cross bar retainer wire is not caught on the nose plate assembly
ü The floating cross bar centring wire is not caught on a cross bar
assembly junction
ü The pull back w ire or VG pulleys are not caught in the hang loop assembly
7.
To tension the crossbar, pull the cord coming out of the keel aft of the sail.
Check that the cable and rope are not tw isted and that the spring lock is firmly
locked. In strong w inds the glider can be particularly difficult to tension. Hav e a
helper gently raise and pull one w ing, this reduces the pressure on the centre
section and allows it to slide more freely .

Tension the glider.
8. The Litespeed is equipped w ith a remov able keel aft section. The glider can be left
resting on it, facilitating the fitment of the w ashout struts, and battens. If desired, the
glider may now be raised onto its keel to complete the assembly. This also assists
w ith keeping the sail clean by keeping the tips off the ground.
Picture 12
Raising the glider onto the keel can make assembly
easier and keeps the sail clean.
WARNING
!
The glider may fall to one side if pushed or blow n by the wind - this may result in
w ing tip damage. It is recommended that y ou only use in flat lev el ground and in
nil w ind. Use with care!
