• The use of this product exposes the user to many unavoidable and unexpected risks, dangers and hazards.

Important Safety Rules:

• Before using this product take lessons from a certified school. Do not attempt to fly a kite without being trained
  by a certified kite instructor.
• This product is not a personal flotation device. Always wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device

  when using this product near the water.
• Always have a partner when launching and landing your kite.
• Always learn to use a small two-line stunt kite before attempting to use this product.
• Never allow anyone who is not familiar with traction kiting to use this product without  experienced assistance.
• Never use this product without a leash system. A loose kite is extremely dangerous to everyone down wind.
• The leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach yourself to the kite

  or any of its components.
• Always wear a helmet, gloves, shoes, and protective eyewear when using this product.
• Always use a high quality, kite specific harness.
• Get yourself used to the way your Quick release devices work by testing them often in a non emergency
  situation.
• Rinse your Quick Release device in fresh water after every session. Quick Release devices have a limited life
  time and must be checked and changed often.
• The Quick Release Trim Loop and your leash equipped with a quick release must be changed after 250 hours
  of kiting. Change them before if you see any sign of wear. The wearing of your Quick Release devices is not
  considered a warranty issue.

Choose Safe Weather Conditions:

• Never learn to use this product in more than 10 knots of wind.

• Never use this product in high winds.
• Never use this product in thunderstorm and lightning conditions.

• Only use this product when you can remain in a standing position.
• Never use this product in wind conditions that are above your ability level.
• Never use this product near or on the water in offshore wind conditions unless you are an expert swimmer.

Choose a Safe Location:

• Always observe local rules and regulations when using this product.
• Never use this product near power lines, telephone poles, trees, bushes, roads, automobiles, or airports.
• Only use this product when you have 100 meters of clear space downwind, and on both sides of your launching
position. The power of the kite can pull you downwind unexpectedly and with great force.
• Do not fly your kite over other people or pets. Spectators should remain upwind of you when using this product.
• Never use this product on crowded beaches or fields.
• Never use this product near the water unless you know how to swim and are in good physical health.
• Practice launching and landing procedures, and self rescue techniques before using this product near the water.

Use Caution with Flying Lines:

• Never touch the flying lines when the kite is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while under tension
  and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never use this product with worn lines. A line that breaks while under tension can cause serious injury or
  death.
• Always check your flying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the lines.
• Stay away from tangled flying lines unless the kite is secured to the ground. An unsecured kite can self launch
  unexpectedly, and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never allow yourself, or anyone else, to get between the control bar and the kite when using this product.
