OPERATION
This OVERRIDE
TM
system allows the rider to immediately turn off the power of the kite, even while riding, by simply pushing the
bar past the Override Ball/sleeve. It is recommended that the Override ball be disengaged prior to launching.
CAUTION: The override ball is a convenience item that allows the rider to un-spin the bar after rotations without fully depowering
the kite. If too much force is applied, the bar may push past the override point.
OPERATION:
If immediate depower is needed push the bar past the Override ball. The kite will immediately depower and slowly drop out of the
sky. To resume riding, simply grab the control bar and sheet back in.
CAUTION: By sheeting the bar back in, the kite will immediately power back up and continue flying. Be aware of its position in the
power window before powering back up. If the kite is on the water, use the techniques outlined in “Relaunching with the Override
System” section below.
To reset the Override ball
• Reach up the depower mainline and grasp the Override ball
• Slide the override down to the Override sleeve
• Snap the ball back into place
CAUTION: Be aware that pulling down on the depower line could
cause the rider to unhook from the harness loop. Be sure that
your security pin or external leash is engaged.
To un-spin the bar after rotations:
• Let the bar out to the Override ball
• Un-spin the bar
• Grab the bar and sheet back in
