ASSEMBLING THE BAR AND LINES
LINE EXTENSIONS:
For kite sizes 9m – 12m your kite is delivered with 4m fly-
ing line extensions in the outer pocket of the bag.
For kite sizes 13m – 16m your kite is delivered with 7m
flying line extensions in the outer pocket of the bag.
Putting these extensions of the end of your flying lines
will increase the power of your kite and give you a longer
power stroke.

ASSEMBLING THE KITE
INFLATING YOUR KITE
Pics 1-3-
Always use the pump leash to hold your kite
while you inflate it.
ON YOUR OCTOPUS SYSTEM EQUIPPED KITE:
• Close all strut valves.
• Close the deflate valve on the LE.
• Inflate the kite at the LE inflation valve.
• Pump until the kite is very firm and rigid.
• Close the inflate valve with the velcro and valve
lock bungee.
HOW TO DEFLATE YOUR OCTOPUS EQUIPPED KITE:
• Open all strut valves.
• Open the deflate valves on the LE. That's it.
INFLATION PRESSURE:
Smaller kites require greater pressure in the bladder to
hold their shape. Below are recommended maximum
pressures.
• 3m through 7m kites require a maximum of 8.5 psi or
.57 mPa
• 8m through 11m kites require a maximum of 7.5 psi or
.51 mPa
• 12m through 15m kites require a maximum of 6.5 psi
or .44 mPa
• 16m kites require a maximum of 5.5 psi or .37 mPa
• Always inflate kite very firmly.
Note:
Do not over inflate the kite struts or you may dam-
age the internal bladder.
