Check if the B-Safe Top Line is correctly attached and runs
free beneath the A-Level. Repeat the process on the other side
of the PEAK.
13 MAINTENANCE
The main parts that wear on the kites are the Depower Line, the
Safety Endline (see the bar manual), as well as the Sparepart
Lines and the pulleys. Depending on use, the flying lines and
other parts will need to be replaced within the lifespan of your
kite. If you do not service these parts, it can lead to damage to
the kite and will void the warranty.
13.01 Replacing the Sparepart Lines and Pulleys
The Sparepart Lines are the yellow lines that run through the
pulley system known as the mixer. The sparepart line should
be replaced before the sleeving could tear or fray (approx. 100
h). The pulleys should be changed after about 250 hours of use.
Before exchanging your sparepart lines, perform a mixertest to
note down your current mixertrim. When exchanging sparepart
lines, this trim will change and you might want to keep your pre-
ferred trim, after the line exchange you can then adjust to your
previous setting.
Tip:
Always exchange only one side at a time and use the other
side as a template how the mixer should look like.
Lay out the kite and sort out the bridle. Make sure that the li-
nes do not get crossed or mixed up through the whole procedure.
Disconnect the front and steering lines on one side. Undo the
front- and back main lines at the mixer.
Pull the old sparepart lines out of the pulley. Always ex-
change both lines.
When exchanging a pulley (after 250h of use) concentration
is needed. First make a larks head at the end of the line.
Put the pulley through the loop.
Pull the larks head knot tight.
Make sure to attach the new sparepart line in the same way
as the old one.
