Use (continued)

If sheet is larger than 5/16" (8 mm) remove the

anti-capsize bar to allow a larger sheet to be used.

To make the sideplates easier or harder to rotate,

adjust the tension on the adjusting nut.

WARNING!

Loosening the adjusting nut too much

can result in lock mechanism not engaging. Verify lock

mechanism before each use.

WARNING!

Loosening the adjusting nut can result in

the nut spinning freely, not securing the block in the

closed position. If you can spin the nut without tools, it

is too loose. Replace using a Nylock

nut.

Adjust sideplate rotation friction

Removing anti-capsize bars

The anti-capsize bar can also be removed if the

up-down control is 1:1 and a spliced eye is used, thus

avoiding capsizing.

IMPORTANT!

Do not load anti-capsize bar to

secure loaded control line or sheet. Use thimble

and sheave only to secure to loaded lines.
