SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS FOR THE KITEFOIL ALLVATOR

The mast and fuselage of your ALLVATOR Kitefoil are aluminum. Unlike a full carbon Foil, the foil ALLVATOR
will be subjected to a normal phenomenon called galvanic corrosion. Phenomenon all the more important in a
salty environment.
The Kitefoil ALLVATOR therefore requires a rigorous maintenance.
It is imperative to completely dismantle and scrupulously rinse its ALLVATOR Kitefoil after each use and store
it dry in its cover between each session.
Failure to comply with this recommendation will result in premature and irreparable wear of the Foil.
Seawater will stagnate in the mast and accelerate the process of internal corrosion.
Similarly for the fuselage. If corrosion does not appear externally, aluminum can corrode from the inside and
eventually lead to a clean break. GONG SUP 1 will not be responsible in case of accident due to poor
maintenance of the equipment.
To preserve your Foil ALLVATOR, GONG SUP 1 recommends that you regularly apply a galvanic anti-corrosion
lubricant in the areas of interlocking and screw inserts.
As soon as you notice a deterioration of your equipment, consult our online spare parts catalog on
WWW.GONG-GALAXY.COM, and replace any worn out parts.
The company GONG SUP 1 works in direct sales to offer you its products at the best price on the market, so
you can navigate with healthy equipment and upgrade your equipment without breaking the bank. We are keen
to make you sail with efficient and safe equipment. The replacement of low-cost spare parts is part of this logic.
Make sure that sand can never get into inserts or boxes before screwing. If sand has penetrated: rinse with
plenty of water. Otherwise it could cause irreversible damage to the threads.
Remember to check the tightness of all the elements of the Foil before each use. Check the condition of the
screws and renew your screw kit at the first signs of wear.
Note that the different parts of your ALLVATOR Kitefoil are compatible with the ALLVATOR Surfoil parts.
However, GONG SUP 1 does not recommend using the ALLVATOR Surfoil Wings on your ALLVATOR
Kitefoil.
The forces and stresses that are exerted on the foil in both sports are very different and do not require the same
areas of reinforcement.
GENERAL RULES CONCERNING THE PRACTICE OF
KITEFOIL
The practice of Foiling comes with risk of major accidents. A poor mastery of the Foil can and may cause cuts,
serious wounds, even death for you and/or others.
THE FOIL MUST BE PRACTICED BY TAKING ALL THE PRECAUTIONS USED IN KITE, PLUS THOSE RELATED
TO FOIL.
But increased with relation to the use of the Foil. Remember that the foil is long, sharp, and can reach high
speeds. To be struck by a Foil, or to strike a third party can have dramatic consequences. GONG ALLVATOR
KITE Foils are made for kitesurfing only. They are not toys.
GONG strongly recommends that you take Kitesurfing lessons at a Foil training school. Be responsible and
careful before using this product alone.
