SAFETY SYSTEM

THESE STEPS CLEARLY EXPLAIN YOU HOW THE PUSH AWAY SAFETY SYSTEM WORKS. IT IS SIMPLE AND SAFE. FOLLOW THESE STEPS EVERY TIME BEFORE RIDING, BECAUSE THE SAFETY SYSTEM CAN GET WORN OUT AND MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. SO, CHECK CAREFULLY IF THE SAFETY SYSTEM IS WORKING BEFORE EVERY RIDING SESSION.

1. Always attach your kite with your safety leash to your harness.
   

2. In case of an emergency, simply push away the red plastic part of the quick release with CF logo.
   

3. This activates the main safety and releases the metal end loop of the chicken loop.
   

4. Now the chicken loop is open. This rapidly kills all the power of the kite. You are now connected to the kite only via the safety leash, which should also be releasable in a case of extreme emergency.
   

5. To re-assemble the safety system, push the red plastic part up with your left hand. Then push and click-in the metal end of the chicken loop with your right hand under the stainless steel lever mechanism of the quick release.
   

6. After clicking-in the metal end of the chicken loop under the stainless steel lever mechanism, let go of the red plastic part in your left hand to close the system. Now the quick release safety system is ready to be used again.
   

MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO SAND OR DIRT INSIDE THE SAFETY SYSTEM.
RINSE THE SAFETY SYSTEM WITH CLEAN WATER AFTER EVERY RIDE IF POSSIBLE.
