WARNING & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FLYING LINES
•Never touch the ying lines when this product is in use. Flying lines are extremely dangerous while
under tension and can cause serious injury or death.
•Never allow yourself or anyone else to go between the control system and the kite when the kite is
unsecured on the ground or in the launching position. The kite can launch unexpectedly at anytime
and can cause serious injury or death to anyone near by.
•Always check your ying lines for knots before each use. Knots greatly reduce the strength of the
ying lines and can break under tension, which can cause serious injury or death.
•Always check your ying lines for wear before each use. Worn ying lines can break under tension,
which can cause serious injury or death.

•The expected lifespan of the i3 Quick Release System uctuates depending on a variety
of factors including use, conditions, proper care and maintenance. With normal use, the expected
lifespan is at least two years, not including ying lines and trim lines. It is recommended you
