3. ASSEMBLING THE BAR AND LINES
CHICKEN FINGER
HOW TO LOCK THE CHICKEN FINGER INTO YOUR HARNESS HOOK:
The Control System is designed with a Chicken Finger to
help you stay locked into your QRTL. Before you connect
the finger to your harness hook make sure that your lines
are set up properly without any tangles or twists.
Pic 1- Push the finger into the center of the harness hook.
Pic 2- Make sure that it is below the trim loop and that the
Chicken Finger gets all the way in and is straight.
If you want to disconnect from the trim loop, you can grab
the finger and pull it out of the harness hook, and then un-
hook the loop. Or, you can release your QRTL as described
on page 13.

ROTATING CHICKEN FINGER:
Be aware that using this item can cause serious injury
or death. When the chicken finger is installed, you will
have to activate your Quick Release Trim Loop in order
to release yourself from the kite. Only use the chicken
finger if you are an expert kiteboarder. Install the chicken
finger only when you are in the water and away from all
obstacles. NEVER return to the shore with your chicken
finger installed. To use it simply slip it under you harness
bar hook and out the end so that the QRTL will not fall
from the hook if there is no pressure on the QRTL.
Note: Pressure from the QRTL can cause the chicken
finger to bend and let the QRTL come unhooked in some
circumstances.
