RECON GENERATION 2
TAP OUT™
Recon Generation 2 has added an important security feature by taking one step out of the release
activation equation. The new Tap Out™ feature allows the rider to simply push the control bar to
activate the Immediate DEPOWER™ function.
This second generation of Recon allows the rider to immediately turn off the power of the kite, even
while riding, by tapping the control bar against the release handle. The rider then stays connected
to the de-powered kite by a leash that is integrated into the harness loop. As long as the rider is
hooked into the harness loop, they are connected to the leash.
Recon Generation 2 allows the rider to enable, or turn on the Tap Out™ security function prior to launching, landing, or at anytime while riding. This is
simply done by selecting the “Launch” mode on the Recon release. (Fig.1)
Whenever the rider is safely on the water they can choose to select the “Ride” mode on the release. (Fig.2) The “Ride” mode disables the Tap Out™
function and allows the rider to let go of the bar to un-spin his lines if necessary. (Fig.3)
The IMMEDIATE DEPOWER™ function can still be activated anytime in either the Launch mode or Ride mode, by lifting the release handle in the direction
of the kite. (Fig.4)
TAP OUT™
CAUTION
! Know which mode you are in at all times in order to prevent an unintentional release of the Recon.
TAP OUT™ -
Launch Mode
The Tap out function is only
operable while in the Launch mode.
Prior to the launching of your kite, select LAUNCH on the mode selector
by pulling down on the lock barrel to align the arrow with the word
LAUNCH on the red release handle. The Tap Out™ function is now
enabled and can be activated by pushing the control bar against the
bottom of the release mechanism.
NOTE: In LAUNCH mode, it is not possible to let go of the control system
to spin the bar. Letting go of the bar may activate the Tap Out™ release
and trigger an immediate de-powering of the kite.
TAP OUT™ -
Ride Mode
This mode is to be used when you want
to be free to let go of the bar and un-spin the bar.
NOTE: When the RIDE mode is selected, the Tap Out™ function is
disabled. This means that you must manually activate the IMMEDIATE
DEPOWER™ release by pushing the red release handle in the direction
of the kite. Pushing the control bar against the release system will not
activate the Tap Out™ function.
Once safely on the water you may choose to select the Ride mode or
you can keep the Tap Out™ enabled by remaining in the LAUNCH mode.
To select the RIDE mode, pull down on the lock barrel and turn clockwise
or counter clockwise until the arrow lines up with the word RIDE on the
red release handle.
TIP
: Hold the upper release plate and rotate the lock barrel. You will
see the bungee at an angle as an extra indicator that the system is in
RIDE mode. Be aware that until the system is in RIDE, the release can
be unintentionally activated by applying upward force to the system.
