Attaching Kite Leash To Harness; Kite Leash Quick Release - North Kiteboarding NAVIGATOR CONTROL SYSTEM User Manual

3.4.2 ATTACHING KITE LEASH TO HARNESS

1. Pull the quick release handle to release the pin.
2. Thread the covered line around a secure connection point on the harness. We recommend
fastening to a ring on the side of the harness or front of the harness spreader bar as
shown below. Your harness needs to feature a dedicated leash attachment.
3. Place the pin through the loop at the end of the covered line.
4. Simultaneously pull the quick release handle while lifting the pin so it runs parallel to the
quick release handle.
5. Release the handle so it conceals the pin and locks it in place.
Note: the release pin should be loaded as shown with the pin 90 degrees to the side of North label.

3.4.3. KITE LEASH QUICK RELEASE

For complete separation from the kite in emergency situations, use the quick release on your kite
leash. This will completely detach the kite and control system from the rider. This should only
be used in extreme emergency situations as uncontained kites will fly uncontrollably downwind,
which could cause damage, serious injury or death.
1. Grab the red release handle grip on the kite leash and with your entire hand and push it
away from your body.
2. By pushing the release handle grip away from your body, the release mechanism will be
activated and the kite leash will separate completely from your harness.
