WaRning:

 always double check your lines before launching. Wrongly attached lines will stop 

the kite flying correctly and could therefore mean you have no control of the kite putting yourself 

in a dangerous situation.

iMPortant: 

all Ozone safety systems require the user to operate them manually in the case 

of an emergency. It is imperative the kite is set-up as shown in the manual, incorrect setup will 

compromise the operation of the safety system.  all lines and de-power systems must be tangle 

free and the safety leash connected in the right way, see pictures.

the chicken loop is the primary connection to the kite. 

Make sure you connect to the chickenloop using the 

finger as shown in the pictures. 

Attach the safety leash to the total flag out system. This is the small eyelet on the steel ring at the bottom of the 

Megatron, see pictures. In an emergency situation, when the chicken loop is released, the kite will flag out completely 

with no power.

Riders doing unhooked tricks or who are more confident and have spent many hours on the water can attach to the 

ring using the suicide system, where the chicken loop runs through the large eye of the steel ring, see pictures.

note: if you let go of the bar (without releasing the Megatron, e.g. missed handle pass) the kite will de-power but 

WILL NOT flag out. Also be aware that in this situation, the Megatron will be out of reach and can therefore not be 

released. if you are hooked in and release the Megatron the steel ring automatically comes off the chicken loop and 

the kite will flag out.
