KITE INFLATION
1 - Unfold the Kite, back towards wind, in a debris free area that’s nonabrasive or jagged, Extrado on the ground,
with the Leading Edge close to you and perpendicular with the axis of the wind
2 - Verify the Bridles.
3 - Insert the Fiber Batten in its sheath in the opening in the Intrado, between the two logos «INSERT HERE».
4 - Tightly close the low section of the Inflation Valve.
5 - Unscrew the top section of the Valve and insert
the Pump Tube.
6 -
Do not overinflate your wing
. The pressure
gauge is only an indicator. There are 3 check points to
help you find your way through the inflation process:
•
Visual:
the central strut must not make any «bulges»
between the reinforcements.
•
Auditory:
the sound, when tapping with your fingernail
on the leading edge, should not be resonant (too
inflated) or muffled (not enough).
•
Touch:
when you press on the wing, it should not distort.
7 - Disconnect the Pump Tube.
8 - Close the Valve and cover with neoprene protector.
9 - Take the Pump Leash off while holding the Kite so
it does not get picked up by the wind.
10 - Turn the Kite over, Intrado facing the ground,
Leading Edge facing the wind and use the sand
for anchoring the Kite.
