1. ASSEMBLING THE BAR AND LINES
Preparation:
Pic 1
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 to the Kite:
Lay the kite across the lines
approximately 5 meters before the end
of the lines.
Pic 2
Attach the Grey control lines to the
leading edge pigtails.
Pic 3
Move the steering lines outside
of the kite and attach the Red and
Blue steering lines first using either
the Figure 8 knot or the larks head
dependent on your kite's pig tails.

Pics 4 & 5
Make sure all lines are hooked up correctly and take extra time to straight-
en 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 Red Bungee and Y connec-
tion. 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 con-
trol lines just above the Y connection. You can use the larks head
attachment points on the Y Connector to untwist the grey control lines.
You can purchase additional Shift Extension lines from your local Naish
dealer.
Install the Shift Extension Line
(If your kite has the Shift line already installed, go to Pic 7.)

Pass the larks head end of the Shift Extension line through the Pump Leash/
Shift Attachment loop on the kite. Take the opposite end of the Shift Extension
line with the adjustment knots and pass it through the larks head. Pull out
all the slack line until the line is securely attached to the Pump Leash/Shift
Attachment loop.
Pic 7
On the opposite end of the Shift Extension line you will find three
knots. The middle knot is where you will attach the shift line to the Shift
Extension line if your kite lines are brand new. Attach the Shift Extension Line
to the Yellow Shift Line using the larks head.
Note: (Over time your steering lines and control lines will stretch and you will
need to use the knot below to compensate for the line stretch.)
There is a sleeve provided on the line in case you want to make a knot further
up the line.
