The safest place to watch a kite is from behind the person launching it. CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY! Strong wind impacts could cause the spools to disintegrate or the control strings to tear your skin. Therefore you should wear protective gloves when using the product.10 GB/IE RISK TO LIFE FROM STRONG WIND! Ensure that the wind conditions are suitable for your abilities and the capabilities of the kite. Supervise in particular children who are playing with the kite. Never fly a kite if you or your children cannot safely control it. Keep an eye on the wind conditions and the chance of gusts. Children must be supervised by an adult when they are playing with the product. Do not use the product in the following weather: Rain, gales, thunderstorms. Check the latest weather forecast before you use the product. Do not attach any additional kites to the strings. Use the product only in places where kite flying is permitted.

Your partner holds the kite tightly and moves about 30 m downwind of you. Allow the control strings to unwind from the spools during this process. Hold the stunt kite so that the strings are kept taut. Tell your partner when he can let the kite go. He must then immediately remove himself from the flying range of the kite and the control strings. Move backwards into the wind. The kite should now climb. One person (advanced): Unwind approx. 2 m of the control strings and place the kite approx. 2 m away from you on the ground with its top side facing upwards. Hold the two spools tightly. Now pull sharply backwards on the kite using the spools. The kite should now climb. Stunt flying Hold the two spools at a height such that the kite calmly hangs in the air. Pulling on the right spool turns the kite clockwise. Pulling on the left spool turns the kite anticlockwise. Attention: After turning the kite a certain number of rotations in one direction, you should always then turn it the same number of rotations in the opposite direction to disentangle the two control strings. Pulling quickly on the spool causes the kite to move in a tight curve. Pulling slowly on the spool causes the kite to move in a wide curve. Landing Ensure that the landing zone is large enough so that you cannot injure any other persons. Variant A: Steer the kite out of the wind and slacken the control strings quickly by allowing more string to unwind from the spools. Stand with your shoulder to the wind. Have a second person hold the kite while you wind the control strings back on to the spools. This will ensure that the kite cannot inadvertently climb back into the air. Variant B: “Rock“ the kite down by steering it alternately to the left and right. Avoid making tight curves. Cleaning and care Remove dirt on the product by using a damp cloth and soapy water.
