Safety Rules - HQ Powerkites TRACTION QUAD Mode D'emploi

Safety Rules

1. Make sure that you always have your kite under control, that it is always in good condition, that
it is properly assembled, that the lines are in good condition and carefully connected to the kite
and handles or straps.
2. Never fly your kite over the given windspeed. You will overstrain the material and can easily lose
control of the kite, which could endanger bystanders.
3. Never fly your kite on busy fields or beaches, or in nature protection areas. Bystanders often have
no idea how dangerous a falling kite can be!
4. Onlookers should stand behind the pilot for maximum safety!
5. Keep your distance from other sport kite pilots. Lines under tension can cut each other as they
are sharp as knives!
6. Never fly in places where others feel annoyed or threatened by the kite.
7. Never fly in thunderstorms or when a storm is brewing. Never fly near high voltage cables, busy
G
roads or airfields. This presents a danger to life and limb!

8. There are different permitted line lengthes. If in doubt, ask your local authorities.
9. Never fly in national preserved areas.
10. Do not leave any waste line or bits of rods or other waste at the flying ground. This helps to protect
the environment, avoids trouble and protects the good reputation of the kite pilots.
Flying traction kites and the related sports, for example, buggying, are among extreme sports
and should be participated in with the appropriate respect. Inappropriate use of the material
can lead to serious or even fatal injuries!
This makes it all the more important that you read and follow the operating instructions and
the safety rules!
