Facnor - Installation manual rev 2012 – LS+/LX+/RX+ reefing and furling systems
3- MAINTENANCE AND PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
3.1 GENERAL REMARKS WITH REGARD TO FACNOR FURLING SYSTEM:
Simple to assemble: no mast unstepping, no section cutting, no drilling
The FACNOR headsail furling system is one of the easiest to install:
- it does
not require unstepping the mast
- under most circumstances you
will not need to cut any section on account of the
patented Facnor telescopic section
.
-
no drilling
is necessary.
Easy maintenance : rinsing
The LS+/LX+/RX+ furling systems
do not
require any specific maintenance
as the drum
and the swivel are fitted with Torlon
®
bearings
(identification sticker see against).
Rinse the furling system several times each season.
Because of corrosive salt deposits it is necessary to prevent from salt accumulation by
regularly cleaning the mechanisms with fresh water in order to guarantee a long life to your
equipment.
