Description
The Override IDS unit is a convenience item which provides the user a temporary place to let go of the control bar to unspin their lines. Override IDS can also be used to manage the tension and placement position of your bungeed trim adjusters. The optional installation of this accessory item will modify the IDS Operation instructions on page 20 of the user manual Specifically, these instructions will supersede the subsection for Depower on Demand (stage 1) operation. Installation does not affect Absolute Depower (stage 2), which remains as the method of releasing residual power from your kite. Operation 1) The operation of the Override IDS unit is simple. Position the unit in your desired location along the depower main line. Many people ride with the unit set at the point where they can reach the power adjusters but where it does not interfere with normal depower. 2) Squeeze the tension ring to achieve your desired holding tension. The tighter you squeeze, the more difficult it is to move the unit. Separate the tension ring to reduce the load tension. 3) To spin your control system, place the bar up near the Override IDS unit. Prior to letting the bar go, spin the bar in the direction needed to take the twists out of your control lines. When the lines have corrected themselves, grab ahold of the bar and resume steering. Take note that you are holding the bar in the correct orientation. The red grip pattern should be on the left and the gray grip pattern should be on the right. 4) To achieve Depower on Demand (Stage 1 depower) push the control bar into the Override IDS unit, pushing the unit towards the kite until the desired depower is achieved. The resistance to move the Override IDS unit will depend on the amount of tension you choose on the tension ring. Higher ring tensions will require more force to push the Override IDS unit towards the kite to achieve Depower on Demand’s first stage of depower. 5) If need be, you can re-position the unit back to your desired location by sliding Override down the main line. |
