FRONTLINE OPERATION - RESETTING THE FRONTLINE SYSTEM
Resetting The Frontline System
Your Frontline System can and should be reset before winding your lines on your control bar at the end of your session. The
Frontline can also be reset on the water, if you choose, but please CAUTION this is an intermediate-advanced technique.
Instructions to reset your Frontline (on land):
1. Pull the recovery line through the control bar until the harness loop is back to the QR body. CAUTION: DO NOT wrap the leader
line, flying line, etc. around your hand.
2. Insert the release pin into the release trapezoid on the harness loop. (Fig.1)
3. Fold the release pin through the release trapezoid. (Fig.2)
4. Lift up on the QR Body to allow the release pin to clear the bottom of the QR Body. (Fig.3)
5. Release the QR body and let it slide back over the release pin
6. Make sure the QR Body is over the release pin. CAUTION: This step is very important, because if you do not replace the QR
body correctly, the harness loop may release when you relaunch.
7. Your Frontline Release System is now reset.
8. You are now ready to either relaunch your kite from the water or to wind your lines onto your control bar.
Instructions to reset your Frontline (on water):
1. While remaining hooked into your QR Harness Loop, swim or pull yourself along the recovery leader lines toward the Control
system. CAUTION: Make sure to keep yourself free of your flying lines.
2. Reach forward and grab the QR Body. CAUTION: DO NOT wrap the leader line, flying line, etc. around your hand.
3. Insert the release pin in the trapezoid at the top of the harness loop. (Fig.1)
4. Fold the release pin through the trapezoid. (Fig.2)
5. Lift the QR body and lower it over the top of the QR pin, pull down on the QR Body to make sure it contains the pin. (Fig.3)
6. Make sure the QR Body is over the release pin. CAUTION: This step is very important, because if you do not replace the QR
Body correctly, the Frontline system may reactivate when you relaunch.
7. Let the Recover leader slide through the bar until all line is reset. CAUTION: be aware of where the recover leader is at all
times. Be careful not to let the line catch or wrap on any part of your body or board.
8. Your Frontline Release System is now reset.
9. You are now ready to relaunch your kite from the water. If you get into further trouble, be ready to pull your QRS.
