WARNING & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FLYING LINES 

 Never touch the flying lines when this product is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while 

  under tension and can cause serious injury or death.

 Never allow yourself or anyone else to go between the control system and the kite when the kite is 

  unsecured on the ground or in the launching position. The kite can launch unexpectedly at anytime 

  and can cause serious injury or death to anyone near by.

 Always check your flying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the 

  flying lines and can break under tension, which can cause serious injury or death.

 Always check your flying lines for wear before each use. Worn flying lines can break under tension, 

  which can cause serious injury or death.

i3 QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM 

 The expected lifespan of the i3 Quick Release System fluctuates depending on a variety    

  of factors including use, conditions, proper care and maintenance. With normal use, the expected    

  lifespan is at least two years, not including flying lines and trim lines. It is recommended you  

  monitor the product closely for wear and tear and clear all components of sand and debris  

  between sessions for optimal functioning.

 Familiarize yourself with the way the i3 Quick Release System operates and test it on land in  

   a non emergency situation.

 Always inspect your i3 Quick Release System prior to launching your kite and after each use  

  to make sure it is connected properly and in working order.  

 If you see any sign of wear on these components, you must replace them prior to use.  

  Failure to do so, can result in serious injury or death.

 Remove any debris that may be inside the i3 Quick Release System prior to use.

 Rinse your i3 Quick Release System with fresh water after every use.

KITE LEASH 

 The expected lifespan of the kite leash fluctuates depending on a variety of factors including use, 

  conditions, proper care and maintenance. With normal use, the expected lifespan is two years. 

  After that time it is recommended you monitor the product closely for wear and tear.

 Never use this product without a kite leash. A loose kite is extremely dangerous to everyone 

  downwind of you.

 The kite leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach 

  yourself to this product.

 Familiarize yourself with your leash’s quick release operation and test it on land in a non- 

  emergency situation.

 Always inspect your leash’s quick release prior to launching your kite to make sure it is 

  connected properly and in working order. 

 Remove any debris that may be inside the quick release prior to use.

 The components in your leash’s quick release have a limited lifespan and must be changed often. 

  If you see any sign of wear on the leash’s quick release components, you must replace them prior 

  to use. Failure to do so, can result in serious injury or death.

 Rinse your leash’s quick release with fresh water after every use.
