Important wear and tear parts are:
All knots on the line-system should be checked before your first flight and after a few
hours of use, if they are secure.
Also check the V-lines, which travel over the pulleys for signs of wear. Replace
immediately with Dyneema lines > 300kg if they are worn.
The pre-streching of the lines will reduce in the course of time. For this, we
developed a special line, which reduces the shortening of the lines to 1/3.
Check that the pulleys are running freely and whether they show signs of wear.
Replace if necessary with originals or pulleys of >500kg braking strength. We
strongly recommend only using original pulleys, which can withstand the loads
developed by the kite.
Also check all connections of the kite’s line-system for weaknesses and replace if
necessary with original parts.
The depowerloop-line and the ROTOR-LEASH, which travel through the hole in the
bar, should constantly be checked for wear. Replace, if necessary with original lines
or a wear-resistant > 1000 kg line. The depowerloop-line can be detached from the
trimmer and the depowerloop itself.
17.8. Repair
(with included repair-kit)
Make sure that the damaged area is clean, dry and free of grease.
Cut a piece of repair-cloth in the correct size, thinly but evenly spread the glue (glue
is quite runny) across one side and stick over the damaged area. Leave it to dry and
you’re ready to go.
TIP: When using glue during a repair, make sure not to accidentally stick the inside
cross ribs or the upper and lower sails together.
Quick repairs are possible by using self-adhesive spinnaker repair tape. Stick the
correct size piece of self-adhesive tape to the inside of the kite. This type of quick fix
won’t last indefinitely and should in time be replaced with a proper repair. At least
your day out on the water is saved.
17.9. Little Connection Lines (LCL)
Each connecting point on the kite is joined by the 1 cm long, so-called Little
Connection Line with a knot at the end. These are helpful during repairs, so you can
simply open the lines on the kite. They are very tear proof, white (ca. 45 kg) /
black (ca. 30 kg), so they mostly prevent a destruction of the canopy.
Replacements for the Little Connection Lines are enclosed with every kite.
