Read Carefully IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR SAFE KITE OPERATION – ADULT SUPERVISION RECOMMENDED Do not operate near electric wires, power lines or power poles due to risk of electric shock. Do not operate in a small or confined space with people nearby. Do not operate in stormy or wet weather – Avoid harsh winds and electrical storms. Fly kite in a BIG open space with no obstacles, trees, buildings or people nearby. At least 50 metres (55 yards) of open space is required in front and to the sides of the kite operator. Large buildings or mountains may adversely affect kite flying due to wind turbulence. Do not operate near water (ocean, river, pond, etc.). For the best results, please operate kite while wind speed is 2-5 metres (2-5.5 yards) per second (5-12 miles per hour) maximum. Wind speed higher than the recommended range will cause unstable flight, loss of control and crashing. You may actually hear the kite string “hum” (a phenomenon called resonant frequency) in overly strong winds. “Humming” noise is a sign that tells you the wind force is too strong. Retrieve the kite before loss of control. HOW TO FLY THE RC KITE HOW TO HOLD IMPORTANT: Kite will move up & down and to left or right. THE LINE WINDER REMOTE Please make sure there are NO obstacles or dangerous objects in your flying area. RC Stunt Spool Tension 1. Push Spool Lock Lever to DOWN Trigger Spool Switch Crank position to UNLOCK the spool as Handle shown in Figure 7 (turning the crank will re-lock the spool). 2. Press Spool Tension Trigger as Figure 7 Press Spool string is pulled out so that string Tension Trigger to keep tension never becomes too LOOSE causing on outgoing tangles on the spool. string 3. Kite string can now be pulled freely off the unlocked spool. If a tangle occurs: Turn crank to lock spool, press Spool Lock Lever UNLOCK (shown in the locked trigger continuously, unlock spool, position for flying) & pull string out steadily until all tangles are pulled out.

As an option, someone can assist you with launching the kite – see Figure 9. 2. The assistant can hold the kite & walk back 20 metres (60 feet) 1. Place your back to the wind – see Figure 8. or more away from the operator in the direction of the wind. 2. The length of string should be 1 metre (3 feet). 3. The string must be stretched out. 3. Swing kite up with nose pointing up. 4. The assistant can release the kite upwards. 4. Keep spool tension trigger pressed. 5. The operator can walk into the wind to keep the kite airborne 5. When the kite catches wind, carefully release & gaining altitude. the trigger to let string go out. 6. Once the kite reaches enough altitude, the Spool Lock Lever 6. Press the trigger as needed to keep the string can be shifted UP to the LOCKED position (turning the crank from becoming slack & the kite will gain altitude. clockwise will automatically lock the spool too) – see Figure 10. 7. When wind is not strong enough, you can hold 7. If kite tends to move left or right, you can adjust the flight to be kite above your head and walk or run into the “neutral” (steady and pointing up) by pressing left or right button wind to get the kite to a flying altitude (height). on remote. Point your remote antenna up. !WARNING: When the string is being released from the remote, please avoid touching or handling the string. Do not wrap the string around your finger(s) or hand to avoid possible injury. The Wind Chaser™ Line Winder Remote handles the winding and release of string for you. Figure 10 Wind Chaser™ Stunt Guide HOW TO TURN THE KITE IMPORTANT: The length of the string from the Remote to Kite must be a minimum of 30 metres (100 feet) or more for all stunts. Spool Lock Lever LOCKED in UP position for kite flying The kite starts turning left when left side of the RC switch is pressed on the remote. The kite starts turning right when right side of the RC switch is pressed on the remote. The kite starts climbing up naturally when the RC switch is released.

DO SUPER EASY SPIRALS The kite will spiral if the left or right side RC Stunt Switch is held down continuously. IMPORTANT: As the kite spirals, it will lose altitude & ultimately crash on the ground. MAINTAIN a minimum altitude of 9.75 metres (32 feet) at all times to prevent crashing. HOLD DOWN WATCH the distance between the kite RC Stunt Switch and the ground ALWAYS.

Push the Spool Lock Lever DOWN to release string from the spool to regain altitude. Apply Maintain 9.75 tension to the string by pressing the trigger. metres (32 feet) Push the Spool Lock Lever UP to lock the or more minimum altitude spool & start flying all over again. DO FANTASTIC FIGURE 8’s Press left & right sides of RC Stunt Switch alternatively – the kite will trace a Figure 8 in the sky! Kite turns in a tighter radius in a light wind & turns in a larger radius in a strong wind. Press Right & Left Sides of RC Switch Please do not do stunts when the Alternately kite is close to the ground. IMPORTANT: It may suddenly crash. Maintain minimum altitude of If the kite starts falling down quickly 9.75 metres (32 feet) for this & other stunts from a strong gust of wind, run toward the kite immediately to loosen the string between the kite and remote. The kite will recover and start flying up again. Page 5

WINDING UP THE STRING Point the remote to the kite and rewind the string by turning the Spool Crank Handle. If you feel the kite is hard to reel in because of strong wind, walk toward the kite and wind at the same time. Pay attention not to rewind the string at one edge of Spool all the time – wind the string onto the spool evenly. Do not pull the string in with your bare hands. Use the Line Winder Remote to crank it onto the spool. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM SOLUTION Wind Chaser™ does not Ensure NEW AAA alkaline batteries are fully inserted start functioning.
