TUNING AND MAINTENANCE
P 16
If you have never kiteboarded using the Oneline and you have already checked
to make sure the Oneline is flowing freely through the center of the bar, try the
Oneline by getting into the water and letting go of your bar when no one is in your
wind window to safely activate the Instant Depower system. You will then realize
the benefits of instantly depowering your kite. Now, use your Oneline to assist
you in getting the kite into the relaunch position and you will see the advantages
of relaunching without having to swim towards your kite. (See Oneline relaunch
instructions on page 8) When you are up and riding your kite should fly just as it
would in a standard four line configuration if your Oneline is not trimmed in and
cleated. Once you feel comfortable, pull the Oneline in as instructed in Mode 1 in
the performance chapter. Don’t be afraid to pull in and cleat the Oneline! Try it and
you will feel the benefits and different performance characteristics. After you feel
comfortable in Mode 1, work your way through all the Modes to get the best feel of
what the Oneline has to offer.
BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH ONELINE
Optimum Oneline setup
Front and back lines should have equal tension. Oneline should also have equal
tension without altering the performance of the kite until the Oneline trim line is
pulled in. Oneline should have no twists around center lines.
Oneline setup instructions are written for stock Slingshot kites and bar setup with
original pigtails. If you take off the safety pigtails from the end of your flying lines,
Oneline length will need adjusting.
Oneline Maintenance
Over time, front lines, rear lines and Oneline will all stretch at a different rate.
Check line lengths occasionally for optimum Oneline setup. Oneline length and
tension can be adjusted by adding or subtracting pigtails to the Oneline kite
pigtail. Sand and salt may cause Oneline parts to clog and perhaps fail if not kept
clean. It is recommended that you wash your Oneline bar with fresh water after
every use. Always check for wear on all lines wear friction occurs.
ATL/Autopilot & Oneline
ATL/Autopilot and Oneline are compatible. ATL/Autopilot lengthens the overall
length of your kite’s attachment points. A leader line extension will need to be
added to the Oneline kite pigtail to compensate for the additional length of the
ATL/Autopilot bridle.
Pigtail attachment position
Stock setting attachment point is located on scuff guard. The benefit is awesome
upwindability.
Pump leash attachment. The benefit is awesome powered, wake style mode.
When using this pump leash attachment point you must remove some pigtails.
17.5-remove 1 of the loop pigtails
20.5-remove 2 of the loop pigtails
25.5-remove 3 of the loop pigtails
