10. Remove the keel tube extension and support the wing under the keel tube with it as shown on the
figure 11.
11. Remove the wingtip protection bags and install the last three cambered outboard top surface battens.
12. The next step is installing the batten tips into the hems of the trailing edge (fig. 12). At each batten,
make sure the opening in the underside of the trailing edge hem is spread to accept the tab on the batten
tip. Make sure the tab slides fully into the hem. To open or close the batten tip lever
,
press firmly on the
undersurface of the tip lever to disengage or engage it.

CAUTION
INSERT THE BATTENS CAREFULLY, SO AS TO MINIMISE STRESS AND WEAR ON THE SAIL.
Never insert or remove battens with the crosstube tensioned (except for up to the last three on each side)
and never insert or remove battens with heavy wind pressure on the top of the sail or in any condition
which causes the battens to slide with great resistance in the pockets.
13. Install the bottom surface battens (fig.13).
14. Install the trailing edge carbon battens in the trailing edge pockets as shown on the figure 14. Slide
the carbon batten rearwards until it is installed into the hem of the trailing edge completely (fig. 15).
