Working on one wing at a time and working with the appropriate leading edge # 3, fold the outer sprog,
which is attached to the leading edge tube #3, towards the inboard end of the leading tube # 3. Slide the
inboard end of the leading edge tube # 3 into the sail.
Then slide the leading edge tube #3 forward, allowing the sprog end to come outside the sail at the
corresponding hole.
Align the leading edge tube #3 properly so that the sprog is on the inside of the leading edge, and slide
the outer leading edge forward, rotating as necessary, until the slot in the leading edge tube #3 engages
securely into the clevis pin in the front leading edge tube. When the leading edge tube #3 is fully
engaged, you will not be able to rotate it.

4. Tighten the sail along the leading edge by
putting the sail mount webbing into the slot in the
end cap of the leading edge # 3. (fig. 1).
5. Secure the sail mount webbing to the leading
edge tube # 3 with the sail mount webbing Velcro.
6. Install the wing tip bags.
Put battens on top of the wing between Mylar pockets in the front part of the wing.
Place Velcro ties around the wing.
Put the speed bar between leading edges in the rear part of the wing.
Put the wing bag back on and zip it up.
3. ADAM-13T BREAKDOWN FOR SHIPPING PROCEDURE
This process will basically be the reverse of reassembling after breakdown for shipping. Before beginning,
read through the section above on how to re-install the rear leading edges.
1. Lay the wing on the ground or floor, unzip the bag and remove the Velcro ties. Remove the speed bar
and battens from the wing. Remove the protection wing tip bags.
2. Unscrew the sail mount screws from the leading edges # 1.
3. Undo the sail mount webbing Velcro and remove the sail mount webbing from the leading edges end
caps. With the outboard sprog folded towards the nose pull the rear leading edge straight aft and slide it
backwards carefully out of the sail. Tape or pad the exposed ends of the inner leading edge tubes # 3,
and do the same for the outer leading edge tubes # 2 in order to prevent sail damage during
transportation.
4. Check to see that the leading edges are marked “Left” and “Right”. If they are not, mark them with an
indelible marker.
5. Carefully fold the outermost area of the sail over onto the innermost area of the sail, place Velcro ties
around the wing and put on the wing bag, turning the bag 180 deg (i.e. matching the front part of the bag
to the rear part of the wing)
.
6. Zip up the wing bag zipper.
