QUICK RELEASE FEATURES
OPERATING THE QUICK RELEASE TRIM LOOP:
To activate the Quick Release Trim Loop: Grasp the handle
of the quick release trim loop and force it up the QRTL
line, away from your body.
Important:
It is your responsibility to maintain the proper
working order of the quick release mechanism. Always
inspect this piece prior to launching your kite. Make sure
the trigger mechanism is properly seated before you ride,
and occasionally while on the water. There are two ways
to do this:
1. Grasp the handle and pull it towards your body.
2. Briefly unhook from the loop, and then hook back in.

Note:
You MUST test your Quick Releases before every
session in order to get used to the way they work. This is
the only way for you to be able to use them fast enough
in case of emergency. Remember that the Quick Release
devices have a limited lifetime and you must change them
after 250 hours of kiting. Our Quick Releases are devel-
oped and designed to be used by a rider of 80kg or less.

SLIDING STOPPER:
The Sliding Stopper should be set at a height at the top of
your depower range. Its function is to allow you to rest the
control bar against it and spin the bar. You can push the
Sliding Stopper up with the control bar during a gust or if
you want more depower.
