1.)
Hold each coil of wire firmly and carefully, unwind with extra precaution avoiding injury from retracting
rigging ends that are under tension. (Take care not to crimp the wire while uncoiling).
2.)
Leave I.D. tags on shrouds and stays to avoid confusion till completion. A helpful hint is to document wire
numbers on your rigging kit list enclosed and retain in a safe place for future reference.
3.)
Attach each piece to its respective location on the mast making sure to insert proper clevis pin and locking it
with a cotter pin. (The mast lights should be checked before the mast is installed so that defective bulbs can
be replaced easily.)
4.)
When all rigging is properly located, identification tags and turnbuckles are in place, make sure again that
each turnbuckle is stationed with a corresponding clevis pin and locked in place with a cotter pin.
5.)
Take note of the maximum dimension your turnbuckle should be opened with turnbuckle barrel equally
located between threaded sections.
Measuring from the center of the clevis pin to the top of the swage, the maximum “Y” dimension should be
as follows:
Intrepid-28
Uppers, Headstay, Backstay
Y = 15-5/8”
Lowers
Y = 14-1/2”
Intrepid 35
Y dimension is established by the maximum open dimension that still allows cotter pin to
be installed in the holes at the end of each stud. This is required for a positive lock.
6.)
To lock turnbuckle in position snug the locking nuts up to each side of the turnbuckle barrel.
a.)
Either use two wrenches one located on swage fitting and one on the nut.
b.)
Or insert a rod or awl in the hole of the turnbuckle barrel and tighten each nut with wrench.
c.)
When both nuts are tight, we recommend taping the threaded portion adjacent to the nut to aid in
keeping the nut secure.
7.)
Finally fill out enclosed registration form and return white copy to Spartan Marine promptly.
8.)
ATTENTION: SKIPPER
a.)
Please note: When rigging and mast are properly assembled and installed, avoid taking unnecessary
risks that would use rigging assembly for purposes other than what it was designed for. Exercise
good judgment.
b.)
Frequent checks for excessive rigging wear and weak areas should be made to ensure maximum
safety. Especially check for chafing. Sails and running rigging can be easily chafed.
c.)
Worn rigging or any pieces that are in question should be replaced as soon as possible. (For further
clarification consult your Dealer on any pieces in question.)
d.)
Your sparset also demands attention and periodic checks to ensure that all pieces are secure and free
from wear.
