Rigging tool shown inserted in rear of keel.

With the crossboom now tensioned, disconnect the rigging tool pulley from the keyhole tang and
remove the rigging tool from the rear of the keel. Ensure that the previously fitted ribs are pushed
FULLY home and that the upper and lower elastics are fitted to all ribs.

Locate the washout tubes onto the sockets, ensuring they are seated firmly down to the limit.
Damage to airframe components, the sail and fittings
may result if you tension the crossboom with rigging
or airframe components caught up. Investigate
immediately if undue resistance is felt. Remember,
the pulley system multiplies the force applied to the
cables by 6.
CAUTION
The rigging tool must be removed before flight
and before attempting to start the engine.
If the rigging tool is not removed, the propeller
will strike it.
