IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES:

when using this product near the water.

• Always learn to use a small two-line stunt kite before attempting to use this product.
• Never allow anyone who is not familiar with traction kiting to use this product without experienced assistance.
• Never use this product without a leash system. A loose kite is extremely dangerous to everyone down wind.
• The leash system is not a permanent attachment to this product. Never permanently attach yourself to the kite
or any of its components.
• Always wear a helmet, gloves, shoes, and protective eyewear when using this product.
• Always use a high quality, kite specific harness.
• Get yourself used to the way your Quick release devices work by testing them often in a non emergency
situation.
• Rinse your Quick Release device in fresh water after every session. Quick Release devices have a limited life
time and must be checked and changed often.
• The Quick Release Trim Loop and your leash equipped with a quick release must be changed after 250 hours
of kiting. Change them before if you see any sign of wear. The wearing of your Quick Release devices is not
considered a warranty issue.

• Never use this product near power lines, telephone poles, trees, bushes, roads, automobiles, or airports.
• Only use this product when you have 100 meters of clear space downwind, and on both sides of your launching

and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never use this product with worn lines. A line that breaks while under tension can cause serious injury or
death.
• Always check your flying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the lines.
• Stay away from tangled flying lines unless the kite is secured to the ground. An unsecured kite can self launch
unexpectedly, and can cause serious injury or death.
• Never allow yourself, or anyone else, to get between the control bar and the kite when using this product.
