Setting up and connecting the lines
Laying out the Foil
Lay your CROSSFIRE on the ground so that
the bridle lines are at the top and the inlet
openings are facing away from the wind.
To secure the foil, place some sand, smooth
stones or filled sacks on the trailing edge.
Lay out the main bridle and braking bridle
lines without letting them twist in the wind.
The flyinglines provided are already
connected when delivered so that the
CROSSFIRE can become airborne as quickly
as possible.
Even so, when laying out the lines, allow
sufficient time. Wind the line up and move
toward the wind away from the kite.
Important! Always ensure that there is a
clear path for the quad-liner (see figure on
previous page).
The lines are stored on separate winders.
To prevent twists in the lines, wind them up
in eights figure of eights. Alternatively sim-

ply use the 4-line handles to wind up the
lines without disconnecting the lines from
the bars and the foil. To do this, hold the
pair of handles in one hand and wind the
four fly lines together around the other end
of the handles, always moving in the same
direction. When unwinding, hold the bars
at the end with one hand without touching
the lines and unwind the lines so they are
laid out in a single specified direction. To
prevent twists in the lines, wind tightly and
unwind in the opposite direction.
