2. WARNING & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Choose a Safe Location:
Always observe local rules and
regulations when using this product.
• 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 position.
The power of the kite can pull you down-
wind unexpectedly and with great force.
• Do not fly your kite over other people or
pets. Spectators should remain upwind
of you when using this product.
• Never use this product on crowded
beaches or fields.
• Never use this product near the water
unless you know how to swim and are
in good physical health.
• Practice launching and landing proce-
dures, and self rescuetechniques before
using this product near the water.
Use Caution with Flying Lines:
• Never touch the flying lines when the
kite is in use. Flying lines are extremely
dangerous while under tension 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 unexpect-
edly, 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.
