MINOR TEARS
For a minor tear in the kite fabric, you may repair the tear
with kite repair tape. Your kite has been supplied with an
adhesive kite repair material.
1. Clean and dry your kite.
2. Lay the kite flat on a clean, dry, smooth surface.
3. Cut two pieces of repair tape the same size, making
sure they are each big enough to cover the entire
tear.
4. Carefully cover one side of the tear with a piece of
the repair tape. Gently rub the tape smoothly onto
the surface of the kite.
5. Next, cover the opposite side of the tear with the
second piece of repair tape, in the same manner as
before.
6. Make sure the tape is secure.
REPAIRING STRUT BLADDERS
Key Points to Remember
• Before attempting to repair one of your kite bladders,
make sure your kite is clean and dry. Always keep
your kite pump, valves and bladders free of sand,
water and other things that will dirty them.
• Make sure the bladders are deflated.
• Avoid repairing your kite on the beach or in dirty,
dusty, windy, or abrasive areas. It is best to find a
clean, dry spot out of the wind. A grassy spot is ideal.
• You will need a set of flying lines and a bladder re-
pair kit (supplied with kite) before you begin to repair
the bladder.
• Keep track of all valve parts for later use.
1. First, lay the kite out flat with the struts facing up.
2. Detach the Velcro closure at the end of the damaged
strut. This will open up the sleeve of the strut and will
allow you access to the internal bladder. (FIG 1.2)
3. Next, separate the Sprint inflation tube from the LE
Sprint valve at the affected strut by first pulling up
the Valve cover and then removing the Cable Tie
(either by cutting off or pulling the tubing) (Fig 3)
4. Slide the air clip off of the tube (FIG 4).
5. Remove the Base Collar Clip from the bottom of the
strut valve and set aside for later use.
6. Tie one flying line around the valve. Cinch it down well
on the valve. (FIG 6)
7. Gently insert the valve/tube down into the strut
sleeve. (FIG 7)
