4. FOX SET-UP PROCEDURE
1. Lay the glider on the ground, with the bag zipper up and at right angles to the wind.
2. Undo the zipper, pull out the battens and the speed bar.
3. Lift and deploy the control frame legs.
Remove the quick pin from the corner bracket. Insert the corner bracket all the way into the speed bar,
positioning the speed bar so that the off-set of the speed bar is directed forward in the direction of flight
(fig. 1 and fig. 2).
Install the quick pin (from front to rear), securing the bracket to the speed bar (fig. 2).

CAUTION
DO NOT FORCE THE FITTING INTO THE SPEEDBAR IF IT DOES NOT SLIDE IN FREELY AND
CHECK FOR DIRT OR DAMAGE TO THE FITTING OR THE INSIDE OF THE SPEEDBAR.
4. Flip the glider upright on the control bar. Try to set the speed bar on level ground. Remove the glider
bag and all the Velcro sail ties. Do not remove the leading edge tip protection bags at this time (fig. 3).
5. By lifting up the nose batten, push the nose batten fully back into the sail so that the V-tip of the batten
rest on top of the keel tube (fig. 4).
