9.Unscrew and check that the outer strands are
evenly distributed around the wedge. If some
strands are crossed, correct their positions.

7.4, ”Dismantling the Furlex”.
11. Apply another 2 or 3 drops of the locking adhesive
to the thread and screw the terminal together,
tightening it firmly. The terminal is now
permanently locked.
12. Fit the stainless locking tube back onto the rigging screw, if applicable.
Check that the length of the luff section corresponds to
the NFL measurement, table 2 page 11.
If it does, the luff section is now ready to be rigged.
