Instruction for use
a)
Assembling - Dismantling
Open the wing bag, make sure that the A-frame is on top, and remove fastenings and paddings.
Assemble the A-frame with the push-pin. Cables must not pass through the inside.
Lift the wing from the front and rotate it so that the wing is laying with the assembled control frame
flat on the ground. Carefully open the two half wings to their maximum extent.
Slip the tensioning handle behind the foot of the king post by the opening in the upper surface, taking
care not to twist the cables.
Fit the nylon kingpost plastic head on top of the kingpost without entangling pitch lines.
Fit the king post to the locating lug at the top of the keel between the two tensioning cables.
Carefully slide the upper sail bent battens in their respective pockets and tension the sail by fastening
the Easyfit tighteners.
Pull the cross tube swan catch tensioner towards the trailing edge, then hook it to the rail screw at the
keel tip. To ease the operation, carefully center the A-frame, ensure that the tabs and heat shrink
coverings of the lower lateral cables do not get stuck in the sail opening at the cross tube/leading edge
connections and that these steel tabs lay in the same direction as the control bar.
Pull down the swan catch tension lever and fix it in the rail with the pushpin.
Raise the nose of the wing and lift it on its A-frame. To avoid dragging the tips of the wing on the
ground, it is recommended that a second person hold the back of the keel.
Fix the front lower longitudinal cables in the rail under the nose plate with the help of the swan catch
tension lever and the pushpin.
Install the tip struts in the appropriate openings on the leading edge. Insert them all the way into their
housings and rotate them until they block. Check that they are correctly blocked by pulling them
towards the rear. Raise the sail for ease of access.
Place the two straight battens of the wing tips on the plastic lug attached to the tube of the leading
edge, and tighten the upper surface with the clasps. Attach the undersurface bungees by pulling them
over the clasps.
Close the fabric closures at the tips by means of their velcros.
When connecting the trike, slip the security fastening cable through the loop in the security strap
aligned with the front of the kingpost, behind the kingpost, through the loop again, and then fix it to
the beam of the trike. The security cable should pass under the tensioning cables. This operation
secures the trike as well as fastening the crossbar tensioning system.
Dismantling is carried out in reverse order of the assembling operations. The CORSET must
imperatively be loose (set in the “slow” position) before dismantling.
Before setting the wing flat on the ground,
insert the protective padding on the keel over the
hang point bracket and on the right A-frame strut over the guides of the fine cord of the CORSET
in order to avoid damaging the sail with these jutting parts.
Before folding up the two half-wings
,
slip the tensioning device lever under the sail
at the
front of the kingpost foot
to avoid tearing any part of the sail or the frame while closing the
leading edges.
Never release the tension of the wing without first removing the battens of the wing tips which
rest on the leading edges.
