MAINTENANCE
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.
The long sparepart line has a knot at the end, this knot is
there to block the pulley from sliding over. Now pull the ring
through the loop and attach to the flying line.
Redo the short line pieces and pull the knots tight.
11.01 Replacing the Sparepart Lines
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
short line pieces at the mixer.
Pull the old sparepart lines out of the pulley. Always ex-
change both lines.
