you have leaky bladders or tears in your kite, repair
them before flying.
4. Check ALL kite, harness, control bar lines,
webbing, pigtails, bridles, the chicken loop and
leaders for knots, wear or abrasions. If the line
sheathing shows any breaks, replace them. The
pigtails should be replaced no less frequently than
every 6 months on inflatable kites. Inspect and test
all your quick releases.
5. Make sure your flying lines are equal as they will
stretch unevenly with use. If they have knots that
can´t be easily untied, replace your flight lines.
6. Walk down your lines and examine them
carefully. Just before launch pick your bar up

and carefully look down the lines for twists and
tangles that could cause the kite to be dangerously
uncontrollable. While you are holding your
bar up look down the lines, shake your bar to
make sure the center lines are connected to the
leading edge of the kite. Be particularly careful,
slow and methodical in high winds. Multiple,
careful preflighting in higher winds is strongly
advised. Inflate the kite to 7–8 psi and close the
fastpump-clamps properly. To depower the kite
with the adjuster, always keep a little tension on
the backlines. Before starting the kite you should
always check all bar safety systems and feel
comfortable with all features on the bar.
Double-check the weather conditions and if you´re
in doubt, don´t go out!
ѥ WARNING
Always check all lines and the correct attachment
of all lines to the kite prior to flying your kite!
LINE ATTACHMENT TO THE KITE
To avoid mistakes when connecting the lines to
the kite, the Sensor Bar lines are colour coded and
have alternating positions for the loops and knots.
This ensures that there is only one possible way to
attach the lines.

TRIM LINES ON THE PIGTAILS /
If your lines stretch unevenly, the lines of the Sen-
sor 4 can be trimmed individually via the pigtails in
addition to the knots on the floater. A Lark's Head
knot is added or removed for this purpose.
