PestFix Hawk Kite Visual VD351 Bedienungsanleitung

It is desirable to angle the Hawk Kite systems pole 10-15 degrees off

vertical, pointing away from the prevailing winds i.e. if prevailing

wind is South Westerly then angle the mount pointing to the

North East. The purpose of this is to prevent the kite from tangling

around the pole when there is insucient wind to launch the kite. By doing

this the amount of maintenance intervention will be kept to a minimum. This

factor should be brought into consideration when selecting an appropriate mounting location for the

VD351 - Hawk Kite Kit.

The kite must be located in the centre of a 10m square area that is free from any obstructions

that the kite would otherwise strike and become damaged. Pay particular attention to any overhead

cables and position the kite well away from any overhead obstructions.

1. Select a suitable location for mounting VD351- Hawk Kite Kit

Sales: +44 (0) 1903 538 488 Email: sales@pestx.co.uk

Don’t: Crush the Hawk Kite pole with clamp

xings other than those specied by the

manufacturer.

Don’t: Secure the Hawk Kite pole any higher

than top of the lowest telescopic section, to

avoid over-stressing the pole, which could lead to

premature failure.

Danger: If your Hawk Kite gets caught in

overhead cables: DO NOT touch the kite, line or

pole. DO NOT attempt to retrieve it. Keep people

and animals away. Inform the emergency services

IMMEDIATELY.

PestFix will not be held responsible for any

accident, loss, damage or injury to any

persons/animals or equipment however caused.

Do: Move your Hawk Kite regularly to prevent

birds getting used to it.

Do: Tie the kite to the cleat on the telescopic

pole if excessively strong winds are forecast.

Do: Shorten the line on the kite by a

maximum of 1-metre, to avoid obstructions.

Hawk Kite should hang approximately 1-metre

above surface to be protected.

Do: Inspect the kite at regular intervals and

check for signs of tangling, release tangles

immediately to maintain effectiveness and

prolong service life.

Don’t: Fly your Hawk Kite: under or near power

cables, near public byways, footpaths, bridle

paths, roads or anywhere that use of the kite

may cause a risk to others.

Lay Hawk Kite face down on a at surface.

Connect the two front edge WING SPARS

using the metal tube ensuring that the

metal tube is threaded through the fabric

hoop attached to the head of the hawk

outline.

Connect the two TAIL SPARS to the opposite top

edge of the wings using the sockets provided,

ensuring that the poles are crossed half way

along to provide rigidity to the kite frame.

The Hawk Kite is now ready to be clipped to the

tether line and should be kept secure until you

are ready, to prevent it catching the wind.

Take the rubber cap off the top of the

telescopic pole and extend the pole to its full

length, pulling each section (seven in total) rmly

into the next with a slight twist to lock in place.

If the Hawk Kite pole is to be left in-situ

permanently we recommend that you tape

each pole section joint with electrical tape,

to prevent any potential slippage. This is not nec-

essary if the pole is only being used on an occa-

sional basis.

Tie the swivel end of the line (the red coloured

end of the line) onto the METAL EYE at the top of

the telescopic pole, using a Bowline knot.

The other end is then attached to the pre

made loop on the feet of the Hawk Kite,

using the in-built wire clip. The kite should hang

1-metre above the surface to be protected.

3. Using Hawk Kite with Soft Ground Stake

Drive the solid synthetic

ground post, included in

the kit, into the soil by

300mm, approximately

10-15 degrees off

vertical, pointing away

from the prevailing

winds. In soft or wet

ground drive the post a

further 100mm down to

give extra stability.

Coil and tie the two-metre anchor line to the cleat

at the base of the pole, ready for use if strong

winds are forecast.

Anchor the kite to the base of the telescopic

pole in excessively strong winds, to comply with

terms and conditions. To do this simply hold

the kite against the pole with one hand and wrap

the anchor line around both the kite line (above

the kite) and the pole twice and then tie the line

under tension to the cleat.

4. Using VD362 Hawk Kite Free Standing Mount

Slide one plain washer over each of the M10

75mm bolts and then insert the bolts through the

holes in the tray wall and through the box section

T-bar so that the threads protrude the other side.

Offer-up the second tray and feed t

he protrudin

bolts from the T-bar through the bolt holes in the

second tray side wall.

Slide one

washer over

the end of each

of the two

bolts that are

now protruding

through the

second tray

wall, followed

by the M10 nut and tighten until there is no

movement between the T-bar and the base tray.

Prior to inserting the paving slabs, place the

mount in the desired position on the roof, this will

be a lot easier without the weight of the paving

slabs! The kite must be located in the centre

of a 10m square area that is free from any

obstructions that the kite would otherwise strike

and become damaged. Pay particular attention

to any overhead cables and position the kite well

away from any overhead obstructions. Once in

position place one paving slab in each of the four

recessed areas of the base trays.

4.1

Prior to assembly ensure that the roof area

where the kite is to be placed is free from

all foreign objects, to prevent the mount

forcing such items through the roof membrane

if it were to be placed on top of said debris.

A protective rubber mat is also available

to afford protection to sensitive roof

surfaces (NF310 - Non-Piercing Roof Mount

Protective Mat 140cm x 140cm).

4.2

Place the box section end of the T-bar pole

alongside the

edge of the

rst base tray

that has the

holes in it.

Align the holes

in the tray wall

with the holes

in the T-Bar.

It is desirable to angle the Hawk Kite system’s

pole 10-15 degrees off vertical, pointing away

from the prevailing winds i.e. if prevailing

wind is South Westerly then angle the mount

pointing to the North East.

The purpose of this is to prevent the kite from

tangling around the pole when there is

insucient wind to launch the kite. By doing

this the amount of maintenance intervention

will be kept to a minimum. This can be achieved

by raising one edge of the mount onto bricks or

blocks.

Ensure that the mount is stable and will not rock

underloadfromthe kite,or ifthe roof hasashallow

pitch to it then this will naturally incline the pole.

Ensure that mount is secure when using this

method and will not slide on the pitched roof

surface. Recommended max pitch 10-15 degrees.

5. Using VD385 - Hawk Kite Non-Piercing

Ridge Mount

The purpose of this kit is to provide a non-

penetrating method of mounting the VD351 -

Hawk Kite Kit on the apex or ridge line of a pitched

roof when penetrating xings are not possible.

Often the ridge line of a pitched roof is the

highest point of a structure and Hawk Kite will give

its maximum performance when located on the

highest point of the building (when safe to do so).

Prior to inserting the paving slabs, with the

help of an assistant place the mount in the

desired position on the roof. This will be a lot

easier without the weight of the paving slabs!

The kite must be located in the centre of

a 10m square area that is free from any

obstructions that the kite would otherwise

strike and become damaged. Pay particular

attention to any overhead cables and

position the kite well away from any overhead

obstructions.

At the point where the two pairs of cranked arms

intersect you will note some long slots in the

arms (see g. 5.5 overleaf). Using the two 45mm

M10 bolts and 30mm plain washers, secure each

pair of arms together so the nut is on the outside

of each pair of arms. Secure in place nger-tight

using the last two M10 nuts.

Dealing with obstructions

• It is likely that you have mounted the

VD351 - Hawk Kite Kit to either a fence line

or wall. If this is the case there is a danger

that the kite will strike this obstruction

in strong winds, as the pole will bend over

to the point where the kite will sweep low to

the ground in high winds.

• To avoid this we recommend shortening the

tether line connecting the kite to the pole by

no more than 1m. Any greater shortening

length will adversely affect the performance

of the kite.

• If you have secured the kite pole to a simple

vertical object with no protruding

obstructions i.e. a solitary fence post or

brick pier then no shortening of the tether

line will be necessary. We strongly

recommend leaving the tether line at its

intended full length for maximum

performance of the kite.

• Wind the clamp tting onto the ne threaded

end of the double threaded shaft and lock in

position using the 6mm spanner on the shaft

and a 13mm spanner on the clamp tting.

• Place the pole into the clamp tting and

hand tighten the two 10mm bolts either side

evenly using a screwdriver.

• Finally tighten the clamp screws using a

10mm spanner being careful not to over

tighten them as the breglass pole could

become damaged through excessive force.

• Anglethepole10-15degreesandmarktheposition

• of the two xings on the wall 920mm apart.

• Drill a 10mm diameter hole, 50mm deep on each

of the marks in the masonry.

• Clear masonry hole of any debris using a hole

brush or blow out pump.

• Insert masonry plug and gently tap home if

necessary.

• Using a 6mm spanner wind the double threaded

shaft into the plug using the course thread. As an

alternative to a 6mm spanner a torx head driver

may be inserted into the end of the shaft for

driving it.
