GLOBAL BAR

The Global Bar Bar is ready to be used 
as it comes from the bag with your new 
kite. The  bar is equipped with the new 
“Rigid Thread” flying lines , specifically 
developed  in order to  limit as much as 
possible their possible stretching. 

ASSEMBLING THE  GLOBAL 

BAR

Preparation:

• Unroll the lines upwind from the kite;
• Place the orange side of the bar on the 

left side when you are looking down wind 

towards the kite;
• Make sure the lines are straight and not 

twisted, knotted or tangled in any way.

ATTACHING YOUR LINES TO 

THE BRIDLE

• Move the steering lines outside of the 
kite and attach the red and blue steering 
lines to the back line bridle attachments 
using the larks head;
• Attach the front lines to the front line 
bridle attachments using the larks head 
on the front lines. Make sure to keep the 
left and right front line on the correct 
side, without any twists. Make sure that 
all bridle lines are clear and free of tan-
gles. Make sure there are no knots in any 
of the flying or bridle lines.

ATTENTION:

Make sure the pulleys of the bridle sy-
stem are turning freely.
