5TH LINE TRIM
The 5th line length is important on the
Impact. If the 5th line is too short or too long
it will affect kite performance. Attachment
point 1 is the standard set up. If you find
the 5th line has shrunk in length, you have
the option to use the two longer attachment
points on the 5th „Y" line located on the kite.
A shorter 5th line makes the kite more depo-
wer-able and turn faster. A longer 5th line
makes the kite more grunty and slower.

PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
1. Make sure your launch is open, FREE
OF DOWNWIND BYSTANDERS, hard ob-
jects, nearby power lines, buildings and
walls, within at least 200 ft. (60 m), and
preferably more. Some riders have needed
in excess of 500 ft. (170 m), to regain con-
trol in violent dragging or loftings. Avoid
kiteboarding near airports and in low
flight path areas, complaints have led to
restricted access in some areas.
2. Check to see what kite size other kite-
boarders are rigging and get their input on
conditions. Do not rig too large a kite for
conditions and carefully consider advice
of more experienced riders. Failure to act
on prudent advice has cost some riders
severe injury.
3. Check your kite for tears or leaky blad-
ders. If you have leaky bladders or tears in
your kite, repair them before flying.
4. Check ALL kite, harness, control bar
lines, webbing, pigtails, bridles, the chi-
cken 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, re-
place your flight lines.
6. Walk down your lines and examine
them carefully. Just before launch pick
your bar up and carefully look down the
lines for twists and tangles that could
cause the kite to be dangerously uncont-
rollable. 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 particu-
larly careful, slow and methodical in high
winds. Multiple, careful preflighting in
higher winds is strongly advised.
Inflate the kite to 8 psi and close the fast-
pump-clamps properly.
To depower the kite with the adjuster,
always keep a little tension on the back-
lines.
Before starting the kite you should always
check all bar safety systems and feel com-
fortable with all features on the bar.
Double-check the weather conditions and
if you´re in doubt, don´t go out!
Have fun and enjoy your safe ride!

WARNING
Always check all lines and the correct attach-
ment 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 2S Bar lines
are colour coded and have alternating posi-
tions for the loops and knots. This ensu-
res that there is only one possible way to
attach the lines.
