4. Check ALL kite, harness, control bar lines, web-
bing, pigtails, bridles, the chicken loop and leaders
for knots, wear or abrasions. If the line sheathing
shows any breaks, replace them. The pigtails
should be replaced no less frequently than every 6
months on inflatable kites. Inspect and test all your
quick releases.
5. Make sure your flying lines are equal as they will
stretch unevenly with use. If they have knots that
can´t be easily untied, replace your flight lines.
6. Walk down your lines and examine them care-
fully. Just before launch pick your bar up and care-
fully look down the lines for twists and tangles that
could cause the kite to be dangerously uncontrolla-

ble. While you are holding your bar up look down
the lines, shake your bar to make sure the center
lines are connected to the leading edge of the kite.
Be particularly careful, slow and methodical in
high winds. Multiple, careful preflighting in higher
winds is strongly advised. Inflate the kite to the
recommended psi and close the fastpump-clamps
properly. Before starting the kite you should always
check all bar safety systems and feel comfortable
with all features on the bar.
Double-check the weather conditions and if you´re
in doubt, don´t go out!
ѥ WARNING
Always check all lines and the correct attachment
of all lines to the kite prior to flying your kite!
LINE ATTACHMENT TO THE KITE
To avoid mistakes when connecting the lines to the
kite, the Sensor 4 Bar lines are colour coded and
have alternating positions for the loops and knots.
This ensures that there is only one possible way to
attach the lines.

TRIM LINES ON THE PIGTAILS /
If your lines stretch unevenly, the lines of the
Sensor 4 can be trimmed individually via the pig-
