Kite Manual
INFLATING YOUR KITE
Your kite has a single point, speed inflate / deflate system to allow for quick and easy
inflation.
1. Select an area free of obstruction, the same or larger than the span of your kite. Avoid
areas with sharp objects (thorns, sharp stick, etc).
2. Unroll the kite completely and attach the pump leash to the kite.
Important!
• Before you inflate your kite make sure you have a suitable “anchor” to weigh down
your kite (sand, fine gravel, weight bag, etc).
Before connecting the hose to the valve, make several pumps to clear any debris
from the hose. (sand, stones, etc) Debris in the bladder can cause small punctures.
• When pumping up a kite for its first time inflate slowly, making sure the inner
bladder is filling up all corners of the struts and leading edge.
• Under inflated kites can cause kite distortion in some conditions.
• Over inflating a kite can damage your struts & leading edge tube.
3. Make sure lower (dump) valve is fully closed and the upper (inflate) valve is open.
Connect pump and inflate until leading edge is firm and maintains it’s shape.
Note:
If it is very easy to bend the wing tips in, the leading edge is under-inflated.
Do not over
inflate!
4. Make sure top cap is free of sand and screw it closed “snug”, yet not so tight you wont
be able to unscrew later.
