3. ASSEMBLING THE BAR AND LINES
ASSEMBLING THE SHIFT SYSTEM
PREPARATION:
Pic 1- Position your kite on the beach facing directly into
the wind. Place sand on the canopy. Layout the bar upwind
of the kite. Place the Red side of bar on the left side when
you are looking down wind toward the kite. Make sure the
lines are straight and not wrapped, knotted or tangled in
any way.
ATTACHING THE SHIFT SYSTEM BAR AND LINES:
Lay the kite across the lines approximately 5 meters
before the end of the lines.
Pic 2- Attach the Grey front lines to the leading edge
pigtails.
Pic 3- Move the steering lines outside of the kite and
attach the Red and Blue steering lines to the Red & Blue
rear line connectors.
Pics 4 & 5- Make sure all lines are hooked up correctly
and take extra time to straighten your lines before each
session as the lines will tend to be twisted. It is difficult
to see twist in the Shift line at the Yellow Bungee and Y
connection. Pay special attention to these points when
checking your lines. Look for twists in the Shift line. Use
the quick disconnect point to help untwist the lines. Also
look for twists of the Shift line around the control lines
just above the Y connection. You can use the larks head
attachment points on the Y Connector to untwist the grey
control lines.
THE SHIFT EXTENSION LINE:
Pic 6- On the end of the Shift Extension line you will find a
knot. Attach the Shift Line to the Shift Extension line.
