IMPORTANT! PRINT AT (ACTUAL SIZE)

Cut template around dashed line.

Use a flat head screw driver to turn the red switch 
counter clockwise until the arm swivels freely.

Rotate the arm until the moulded-in arrow on the cleat 
base appears in the switch hole in the arm ( fig.1) . With 
the template still in place on the mounting surface place 
the RF6 over the template and align the base arrow with 
the template arrow. While firmly holding down the arm so 
the base doesn’t rotate, turn the arm clockwise until the 
first mounting hole appears in the switch hole. Fit the first 
M5(3/16”) or 8G mounting screw.

Rotate the arm to locate the other three pre-drilled 
holes and drive screws into them. There will be two 
holes either side of the stopper, ensure the arrow on the 
base remains aligned with the arrow on the  template. 

Align the arrow on template with the boat’s  
centre line, pointing forward (toward the bow).  
This configuration will give equal rotation of the arm to 
each side, with the arm toward the rear (stern) of the 
boat.
