Page: 8 / 22

FITTING THE GEAR MOTOR
1 - For models 42 only, if the system has been delivered with a turnbuckle cylinder (52) - optional “I”
version :
• remove the shape adapter * (32) from the gear motor,
• fit it at the top of the turnbuckle cylinder (52), align the 3 holes in the shape adapter with the 3
corresponding threaded holes in the cylinder.
• fit the turnbuckle cylinder (52) at the top end of the gear motor, and screws (54).
* The inside shape of the shape adapter should match the outside
shape of the extrusions (round C 42, or foiled R 42).
2 - Depending on boat’s design the stem head chainplate may have been
constructed in either athwart -ships or longitudinal direction. The stainless steel
tube (45) should be fitted into the gear motor in the correct position in order
to ensure that the handle socket (38) in the gear motor is facing backwards.
3 - Slide up the gear motor over the bottom of the stay until the bottom
forestay terminal is easily accessible.
4 - Slide up over the bottom end of the stay in this order :
• The stainless steel ring (44) fitted over the anti corrosion bushing (43)
• The stainless steel tube (45)
5 - Take the forestay bottom terminal through and out of the bottom end of the
stainless steel tube, and fit the bottom eye onto the upper hole of the toggle (47).
Retain the pin (48) in the hole of the toggle (45) with adhesive tape.
6 - Keep the gear motor raised (with a halyard if the system is fitted on a standing stay).
7 - Fit the toggle (47) over the chainplate with the threaded clevis pin (49) supplied,
fit the washers (51) and the locknuts (50).
8 - Adjust tension of turnbuckle (if fitted).
9 - Lower the stainless steel tube (45) over the toggle, and fit the clevis pin (48) supplied (the one with
a head) to connect the stainless steel tube (45) onto the lower hole of the toggle (47).
10 - Lower the gear motor over the stainless steel tube (45) and fit the 3 screws (41) to attach the gear
motor onto the stainless steel tube.
11 - During final assembly of the extrusions, slide them vertically into the gear motor (or turnbuckle cylinder
if any) so that the black mark on the lower extrusion is level with the top of the shape adapter (32). Fit
the 3 set screws (30) to attach the bottom end of extrusions.

Properly secure the turnbuckle to ensure that it will NOT unwind when operating the system.
CAUTION!
When adjusting your turnbuckle more open, please do not unwind and extend the turnbuckle
longer than the maximum allowed length. Remind in case the stainless steel tube has been shortened,
ìNî dimension will be reduced accordingly. Please refer to headboard 1.
