1.1 The manual
To derive the maximum benefit and enjoyment from your Furlex-system, we recommend that you
study this manual carefully.
The manual is divided into two sections, one dealing with
ASSEMBLY
and one with
OPERATION.
Each section contains references to the other.
It is very important to read and note these cross references.
All safety-related information is indicated by the following symbol:
The manual covers two different Furlex sizes, 400 S and 500 S. The Furlex 400 S is designed for
use with a 12 or 14 mm forestay, while the 500 S system is designed for a 16 mm forestay and has
a stronger luff extrusion and halyard swivel.
The assembly procedure for the 400 S and 500 S differs in some respects. These differences are
indicated in the manual.
The size is marked on the line drum top.
Furlex is specified and manufactured using Metric dimensions. To assist owners unfamiliar with
this system, the approximate equivalent Imperial dimensions are given in brackets.
The screws used for the halyard swivel and lower bearing assembly have a Torx or Allen socket.
The requisite bits are included with the Furlex. The table below gives the relevant screw sizes and
corresponding sockets.
