Its best if questions are answered in the public forum that way everybody can benefit, and the same problem doesn't get posted multiple times.

Is it a Slingshot bar or a Cabrinha bar? Each one of those is a distinct brand.

Cabrinha's had the Recon, Recon2, 3 different Powerdrive bars, and the IDS bar.
Here's the documentation Cabrinha's line of bars:
http://www.cabrinhakites.com/user-manual-downloads.html (just look for the bar you have)

Slingshots's had the Profire, Fullstroke, Directdrive, and new Compstick bars.
Here's the documentation Slingshot's range of bars:

Or you could post a pic of your bar and we could help.

That's a Cabrinha Powerdrive 121 bar and its used for 4 line depower kites.

that's the bar (at least same) I had on a Cabrinha 2008 LEI

- to depower pull the red ball bungee strap
- to restore power pull the black ball bungee strap

BTW I hate these bungee straps, always in the way

- The red cap just above the chicken loop is to release safety

- Dont FORGET to connect your leash. I can't see in the picture here but you should have a ring on a rear or front line to connect it.

slingshot was the name of one of cabrinhas kites. They replaced it with the switchblade.
