OPERATION
BYPASS™ LEASH
The Bypass Leash QR also acts as a QR2, which after deployment of the QR1 activation of
the QR2 will completely separate the rider from the Kite.
Connecting the Bypass™ Leash
• The Carabiner end of the Bypass Leash must at all times, be attached to the Leash
Connection Ring, that is attached to the bottom of the 1x Landing Line. (FIG 2)
CAUTION:
To disconnect yourself from the Bypass leash you must activate the QR at the end of the
leash by pushing the QR away from your body (FIG 3-5).
Disconnecting from your kite may cause
your kite to blow downwind unaccompanied.
Avoid at all costs, disconnecting in a situation
where your loose kite may endanger others.
Disconnecting from your kite at sea may
also mean the possibility of not being able to
retrieve your kite. Use extreme caution and
judgement when disconnecting from your
kite. Familiarize yourself with the operation
of the QR and all security systems prior to
using this equipment.

Both the CAS (Centreline Adjustment Strap) found
on the Overdrive Bars, and the Trim Lite Cleat
System found on the fixed bars, effectively change
the length of your front lines (referred to as trim).
By pulling on the CAS Orange Handle, or the
Trim Lite Webbing handle you shorten the line (
depowers the kite slightly). To repower the kite you
need to lengthen the front lines by either pulling on
the CAS Black Handle, or by releasing the Cleat
Line from the Trim Lite system.
CENTERLINE ADJUSTMENT STRAP

• Pull the Webbing Handle towards your body to release the line from the cleat. (FIG 1)
• Lift the rope outwards slightly so that the Trim line is free from the cleats teeth. (FIG 3)
• Let the line feed through till the desired position is found.
