How to lock the Chicken Finger
into your harness hook:
The SLE 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.
1- First hook into the loop.
2- Next, push the finger into the center of the
harness hook.
3- 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
3
loop, you can grab the finger and pull
it out of the harness hook, and then
unhook the loop. Or, you can release
your QRTL as described on page 11.
Adjusting the power of your
kite with the trim strap:
The trim strap is a "pull, pull" system.
There are red and blue molded extension
handles to operate the trim strap. The trim
strap has a neoprene cover to prevent
line tangles. Pulling on the red handle will
shorten your front lines and the kite will
have less power. Pulling on the blue handle
will lengthen your front lines and the kite
will have more power. The blue handle
releases in short segments. You may have
to pull on the blue handle a few times to
achieve maximum power.
Adjusting the power of your kite
with the smart loop:
- To depower your kite pull down on the trim
line, below the QRTL, the desired amount,
then lock the line in the jam cleat.
- To give your kite more power, pull down on
the trim line to release it from the jam cleat.
Feed out the desired amount of line and then
lock the line back into the jam cleat.
