StartinG Off
To start flying your kite you need to follow these five steps:
Step 1. Finding the right location to launch your kite
Step 2. Pumping up your kite
Step 3. Setting up your bar and lines
Step 4. Checking your safety system
Step 5. Launching your kite
StEP 1. findinG thE riGht LOCatiOn tO LaunCh yOur kitE
Find a spot to setup, away from airports, powerlines, trees and buildings. When
launching, the area should be free of kiteflyers or other people. Also make sure
there are no sharp objects on the ground, to prevent any damage to your kite.
StEP 2. PuMPinG uP yOur kitE
Place your kite on the ground with its
leading edge into the wind, the
bottom of the kite facing upwards.
Attach the pump leash to the kite’s
pump leash attachment.
Make sure the deflate valve is closed
and secured with Velcro. Attach the
pump hose to the inflate valve. Make sure the clips on the air ducts
leading to the struts are all open.
Start pumping until the leading
edge feels firm. If you prefer to use a
pressure gauge, pump until it reaches
about 6 psi. Detach the pump and close the inflate
valve.
Close the clips on the air ducts. This
will prevent the whole kite from los-
ing pressure in case of a puncture. Place the kite on the ground with
the top of the kite facing up, leading
edge into the wind. Weigh down the
canopy with some sand or a board
with fins facing up.
