INFLATING THE KITE - LEADING EDGE

CO2

CONT’

INFLATING THE LEADING EDGE

All Cabrinha kites feature the 2 part high volume
Airlock valve. The upper section is the inflation cap.
The lower section is the release valve.

•

Make sure that the release valve is seated firmly by turning clock-
wise. Do not over tighten the valve when the kite is not inflated.
Doing so may damage the bladder.

•

Open the inflation cap by screwing it counter clockwise. Insert pump
(use the adapter tubing if using a hand pump) and inflate the lead-
ing edge (L.E.).

•

When the L.E. is fully inflated, remove pump nozzle and screw the
inflation cap back on. Check that the release valve is secure.

•

Do not under-inflate Leading Edge. Proper inflation will make it diffi-
cult but not impossible to bend the ends of the kite in. If it is very
easy to do this, the leading edge is under-inflated. Kite should be
firm enough that if you turn it onto its back, wing tips should extend
into the air and kite should retain its bowed shape.
