X-19 Kite & X-Bar Manual
WARNING:
Kiteboarding can be dangerous!
Kites can be extremely dangerous depending on the size of kite and the strength of wind. Please pay
close attention to the recommended wind-range of your kite and make sure that your skills and ability
matches the prevailing conditions. Please read the entire manual before starting and be sure you fully
understand all of the information given. When you first use your new kite make sure not to fly it at the
top of its recommended wind-range and instead take your time to get to know the equipment. Never
underestimate the power of your kite. Even a beginner kite can develop several hundred kilos of pull
depending on kite size and wind strength. This can cause serious injury or result in death.
The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any injury, death or damage caused by or during the use of
the kite to the user or any third party.
Kites können je nach Größe des Kites und der Windstärke lebensgefährlich sein. Bitte beachte die
Windtabellen Deines Kites und fliege immer nur Deinen Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten entsprechend.
Bitte lese die Gebrauchsanleitung vor dem ersten Gebrauch des Kites ausführlich durch und sei sicher,
sie vollständig verstanden zu haben. Starte Deinen neuen Kite bei den ersten Flügen nie im oberen
Windbereich. Nimm Dir die Zeit, das neue Sportgerät in der Handhabung kennen zu lernen. Unterschätze
nie die Zugkräfte des Kites. Auch ein Einsteigerschirm kann bei entsprechenden Windgeschwindigkeiten
und Größe, Zugkräfte von mehreren Hundert Kilogramm entwickeln. Das kann zu schweren Verletzungen
oder gar zum Tod führen. Der Hersteller übernimmt keine Haftung für Schäden, die durch den Gebrauch
oder den Besitz beim Piloten, Besitzer oder Dritten entstehen.
Kites peuvent être très dangereux selon leur grandeur et la force du vent. Il faut regarder le tableau du
vent de votre Kite et il faut voler conformément à vos capacités et votre aptitude. Il faut lire le mode
d'emploi détaillé et entièrement avant le premier usage du Kite et soyez sûr de l'avoir compris
complètement. Ne volez jamais votre nouveau Kite pour les premiers vols dans l'étendue (la zone) de
vent tout en haut. Prenez le temps pour faire connaissance le maniement de l'équipement.
Ne mésestimez jamais la force de traction du Kite. Même un Kite pour les débutants peut développer
une force de traction des centaines de kilogrammes dépendant de la vitesse de vent et de la grandeur
du Kite. Cela peut provoquer des graves blessures ou même mener à la mort (causer la mort).
Le producteur décline toute responsabilité (ne porte pas garant) en cas de dégats causer par l'usage
inapproprié du Kite.
Kites pueden ser segun el tamano del Kite y la fuerza del viento muy peligrosos para la propia seguridad.
Por favor tenga cuidado por el viento tabulario de sus Kites y vuele siempre conforme a sus capacidades.
Por favor lean minusiosamente las instrucciones de empleo antes de usarlo por primera vez y tiene que
estar seguro de haberlo entendido completamente. No arranque su nuevo Kite en los primeros vuelos
nunca en la zona areal de viento superior. Tome suficientemente tiempo para conocer su nuevo aparato
deportivo en todo su manejo. No menosprecie nunca la fuerza de traccion del Kites. Tambien el Paragua
de subida puede desarrollar por las correspondientes velocidades de viento una gran fuerza de traccion
de mas de cien kilogramos, esto puede causar graves lesiones o peligro de muerte. El Fabricante no se
hace cargo de ninguna responsabilidad por los danos causados por el uso inadecuado de los Pilotos,
Propetarios o terceras personas.
