Adjustable tension bar stopper

The adjustable tension bar stopper allows the rider to 

set the bar throw to a preferred position and sliding 

tension.

POSITIONING THE BAR STOPPER

Manually slide the bar stopper up and down the trim 

line to find a comfortable setting. By positioning the 

bar stopper higher up the trim line you will have more 

available depower while riding.

WARNING!

A bar stopper that is positioned too low on the center line will 

restrict the depower potential of the kite when hooked in.

SETTING THE TENSION OF THE BAR STOPPER

By moving the orange clip up or down over the black 

stopper you can adjust the sliding tension of the 

stopper from easy to hard. The more the orange clip 

extends,theeasierthestopperwillslide.

We recommend always having the bar stopper set at 

easy sliding position.
