The information in this manual must be followed carefully to
avoid damage to the system and to aviod the risk of personal
injury. The warranty is only valid if the system is assembled and
operated according to this manual.
Please read the entire manual before assembly!
• Be very careful when you open the wire coil! It may spring
open and cause damage and/or personal injury.
• Never use a snap shackle to secure the standing rigging, not
even temporarily. When installing the system on a rigged
boat, always use a strong screw pin shackle or tie the
spinnaker halyard to a strong point on the boat before
removing the existing forestay.
• Incorrect halyard routing can result in ”halyard wrap” which
may cause severe damage to the forestay, and put the entire
rig at risk. The angle between the halyard and the forestay
must never be less than 10°.
• If using a winch for the furling line, first check that there is
no obstruction which may interrupt the furling operation and
possibly cause damage.
• A common example is no furling line left on the line drum.
When furling the sail in heavy wind, the sail is packed
tighter and requires more furling line to be pulled than when
furling in light wind.
• Take care to ensure that all split pins are secured properly
after installation.
