Looking after your kite 

 

- Do not leave your kite out in the sun or flapping in the wind if you are not using it, the cloth will 

prematurely age.  
- Never store a wet kite for a long time. Make sure it is completely dry. 
- Never use any sort of chemical cleaner or your kite. Only use normal water.  
- Store your kite in a dark and dry place leaving the bag open.  
- Do not walk on the lines or on the kite.  
 

Control bar set-up and safety system 

-  Check  your  control  bar  set-up  and  safety  system  before  each  use  to  make  sure  that  it  works 

correctly.  
- Check for wear and tear on each part, also check all knots and lines, making sure that the neoprene 

protectors are in place where appropriate. 
- Take care to clean your control bar set-up and your safety system of all sand, mud and dust, snow 

and ice. 
 

Warning 

Your safety and the safety of others depend upon the correct use of this equipment. You are solely 

responsible for ensuring that you only use this equipment in situations and conditions suitable for 

your level of competence and in a way that will not endanger third parties. 
- Safety does not only depend on the safety systems of the kite, it is also the result of training and of 

the correct evaluation of the situation and all conditions; the location, potential hazards, other people, 

the weather, etc  
- It is extremely important to receive proper training before using this product and to fully familiarise 

yourself  with  all emergency procedures  in  safe  conditions,  before having to resort  to  them in  an 

emergency. The safest place to obtain the necessary skills is from a suitably qualified and competent 

kite instructor or school. Do not attempt to fly this kite without the necessary skills. 
- Your kite and safety systems must be regularly checked and properly maintained.  
- The ESKIMO is a kite adapted for riding on snow or land. Unlike a paraglider or a speedflying wing, 

the ESKIMO is NOT designed for free flight and does NOT meet the specific safety requirements of 

free flight.
