Assembly Instructions
Step 1:
Remove the kite out of the bag. Turn Lower Cross Strut perpendicular
to the Spine Strut and insert the ends of the Cross Strut into the Lower
Leading Edge Fittings. IMPORTANT: Make sure when you insert the
Cross Strut into the fittings that the Cross Strut is not tangled in the
bridle.
Step 2:
Make sure the Lower Cross Strut is centered on the Center Spine.
An “O” Ring secures the Lower Cross Strut in-between two the Stops
that are attached to the Lower Cross Struts. Your kite comes from
the factory with the Lower Cross Strut centered on the “O” Ring. If it
has shifted, simply push the Lower Cross Strut to one side until it is
centered.
Step 3:
Insert Upper Cross Strut into Upper Leading Edge Fittings.
Step 4:
Insert Standoffs into Standoff Holders. Make sure Standoff Holders
are directly behind the Standoffs so the Standoffs are perpendicular
to the Lower Cross Strut. If the Standoffs look crooked to the Lower
Cross Strut, simply slide the Standoff Holders along the Lower Cross
Strut until they look straight. Lift the assembled Osprey off the ground
by the kites two Tow Points and make sure the bridle is not tangled or
twisted underneath a Cross Strut. The bridle attachment points should
come directly off the knots on the kite’s right and left Leading Edges
and the Center Spine.
