ASSEMBLING THE UNIVERSAL CONTROL SYSTEM

PREPARATION:
Pic 1-
Position your kite on the beach facing directly into
the wind. Place sand on the canopy. Lay out the bar
upwind of the kite. Place the red side of the bar on the
left side when you are looking down wind toward the kite.
Make sure the lines are straight and not wrapped, knotted
or tangled in any way.

ATTACHING YOUR LINES TO THE BRIDLE:
Pic 2-
Move the steering lines outside of the kite and at-
tach the red and blue steering lines to the back line bridle
attachments using the larks head. Attach the grey front
lines to the front line bridle attachments using the larks
head on the front lines. Make sure to keep the left and
right front line on the correct side, without twists. Make
sure that all bridle lines are clear and free of tangles.
Make sure there are no knots in any of the flying or bridle
lines. Make sure the pulleys on the bar and in the bridle
system are turning freely.
FOOL PROOF FLYING LINES:
Naish kites are equipped with specialized flying line con-
nectors which prevent inadvertently attaching the front
lines to the trailing edge and the opposite. The pictures
above show how to use this feature. The line connectors
have a handy easy-open feature as well. Pull on the black
tab to release your flying lines after your session.
