The fifth line

If you are using a kite with five lines it’s necessary to adjust your JOSE system before you start to use it. In the box you will find an extra elastic line strap which you will instal on the JOSE body like this: First take your bar and unroll about 5 meters of all lines. Then simply tie the extra elastic line onto the shortest fith line using the white strap.

Put the other end of this elastic line from the front side through the free hole in the center of the JOSE's body. The middle elastic line is flexible, so adjust the lenght to be equal with other four already fixed elastic lines.

On the end of the elastic line make a double bundle, cut the rest of needless elastic line and then hide the bundle into the Jose body.

Directions for the use of the JOSE system

When you decide to pack up your kite, start to role the kite lines onto your bar like you are used to. When you reach about 5 meters from your kite, place your bar on the ground and take the JOSE body.

Walk to the end of the lines which were connected to your kite and start to connect them with elastic lines of JOSE. Do this from one side to the center (five line kite) and to the other side. Connect back line and front line on one side to the elastic lines of JOSE. Of course, connection is followed by matching colours. While connecting lines with the JOSE body make sure your lines don't cross over each other.

After you connected all lines from your kite to the JOSE body, walk back to your bar and start rolling the rest of the lines onto the bar until you can reach the JOSE body. Then take the JOSE body to one hand and bar to the other hand. While doing this, make sure that the elastic lines of Jose are streched to avoid falling of the lines from your bar!!! (If your lines fall down from your bar there is a chance that they get tangled. If yes, which is hard to recognize, you need to repeat the whole procedure). The JOSE system allows you to reel up the elastic lines from both sides (left or right hand). Now when the elastic lines of JOSE are reeled up, start to roll them onto your bar until you have reached a parallel position of the bar and the JOSE body.

When you have reached this position, grab the Velcro fasteners on each side to connect JOSE body to the bar. The JOSE body can be connected to the bar on both sides of the bar. Now your lines and bar are safe for transport or storage.

The solution of different line length

Now, getting your kite ready to fly is very simple

When your kite is ready, take your bar connected with the JOSE body and just untie Velcro fastener to separate your bar from the JOSE body. In the beginning of this separation, try to keep the elastic lines streched to avoid the falling of lines from your bar. After the elastic lines are off your bar, unroll about 5 meters of lines from your bar. Place the bar on the ground close to your kite. Then connect beckets one by one from one side of JOSE to the other. You will avoid the crossing of the kite lines this way (back line, front line, center - if you use 5-line kite, front line, back line), the colors on the kite and JOSE will help you. When you connected all lines with your kite, take the bar and unroll the lines till the end. It is possible that lines may be twisted as you stretch them out. In that case just turn the bar in the needed direction until the lines are straight as they should be. Now, you are ready to go.
