Unroll the diamond wires. Unwind the top of the
large turnbuckle all the way – leave 6 or so
threads so it does not come apart.
Attach the thimble at the bottom of the diamond wire to
the top of the turnbuckle.
NB
: It is a good idea to equalise the length of the two
sides of the diamond wire by adjusting the small turn-
buckle.

Assemble the spreaders onto the spreader roots
on the mast using the clevis pins and split rings.
The spreader brace (the longest part) is fixed to
the front of the mast and the spreader arm (shortest)
to the back.
Slide the diamond Wires into the slots at the end
of the spreaders. Ensure the plastic disk (jib pro-
tection) is mounted above
the spreader. Secure
the diamond wire with the cotter pins provided.
Advice
: Cover all split rings and pins on the spreader
bars with ducting or amalgamating tape. Wrap some
tape on the wire above the disk to prevent it riding up
the wire.
Attach the terminal fork ends to the diamond
tangs mounted just below the shroud tang. Tape
these pins up as well.
Wind in the desired tension. Make sure that all locking
nuts are tightened after tension/rake is set.
