3.1. EMERGENCY SAFETY PROCEDURES SUMMARISED:  

1. 

Depower the kite using the depower cleat.

 Use the clam cleat mainline depower system to 

depower the kite. Pull the trim handle downwards and secure it into the cleat to fasten it.

2. 

Let go of the bar. 

If you are still overpowered let go of the bar. This depowers the kite as 

much as possible while the Navigator Control System is still attached to your harness. 

3. 

North Connect Quick Release.

 If your kite is still overpowered grab ahold of the red quick 

release handle on the North Connect. Push the red quick release handle away from you, 
following the arrow to release the kite. This should release all power from the kite.

4. 

Secondary Quick Release. 

If your kite is still powered, disconnect the kite from your body 

using your kite leash quick release mechanism. Grab hold of the red plastic section with 
your entire hand and following the arrow push the release system away from your body 
towards the kite. 

 WARNING: 

The secondary quick release system should only be activated in an emergency. Activating will 
disconnect the kite from your body. Uncontained kites can be an extreme danger to the rider and to 
others, causing damage, serious injury or death. 

3.2. NORTH CONNECT QUICK RELEASE

Releasing the North Connect Quick Release, provided your kite leash is attached, will depower your 
kite leaving the rider still attached to the kite. This will result in your kite being contained by the 
kite leash. This North Connect Quick Release system will release the residual power from your kite 
by allowing it to ‘flag’ out on one of the front control lines. This Quick release should only be used 
when necessary.
