Checklist after installation
If any of the following points are not complete, the system could be damaged. Take care to
fix these any outstanding points.
1. Ensure the outer bearing clearance is correct to specifications. (See Diagram 1)
2. Ensure the outer bearing is lubricated.
3. Ensure the spool spins freely.
4. The end spacing between the universal and the inner bearing needs to be approxi-
mately 1/32” [.8mm] (the thickness of a business card).
5. Ensure all machine screws have been treated with an anti corrosive compound.
6. Ensure the sail track slugs are locked in place and tight in position. If any slugs are
thought to be faulty, rivet the track in this area.
7. Ensure the track joins are aligned, and deburred.
8. Ensure the flexible feeder and limit line is set up correctly. (See Diagram 4)
9. Ensure the luff track top cap is in place and will not allow halyard chafe.
10. Ensure there are no objects or sharp edges between the feeder and gooseneck for the
sail to catch on.
11. Ensure the furling line is lead aft, avoiding friction where possible, and the rope guide is
set correctly for alignment from the deck to the spool See deck layout.
12. Ensure the boom angle to the mast, is not limited by the Vang or Topping lift adjustment.
If a spring / fixed vang is used, ensure the vang can support the boom weight.
The 87
o
angle to the mast is important.
13. Ensure the drive shaft does not protrude through the back face of the Universal drive
coupling. (See Diagram 8)
Ask if in doubt, this is extremely important
.
14. Wash the boat off thoroughly as filings could be caught in deck lines or may rust on the
deck.
