Ocean Rodeo 2011 Free Ride Bar User Manual Download Page 18

WARNING!
Some advanced riders prefer the bar stopper to be locked 
in place. This setting will not allow the kite to depower if 
you let the bar go. (3)

WARNING!
If you ride without the orange clip your bar stopper will 
not slide when the bar makes contact. During a hard fall 
it is preferable to have your bar stopper slide up as it will 
depower the kite.(4) 
Always use the orange clip on your bar stopper.

To adjust the orange clip flex it apart and slide it up or 
down the black bar stopper.
