How Many Connectors?
Use the chart at left to determine the proper number
of 9" (229 mm) connectors for your headstay.
Every unit uses one 11" (280 mm) bottom connector
in addition
to the number of 9" (229 mm) connectors
shown at left.
*One additional connector required; order part 899
■
How Many Foils?
Use the chart at left to determine the proper number of
7' (2.13 m) foils for your headstay.
The variable length top foil is cut from one of the 7'
(2.13 m) foils and is used
in addition
to the number of
foils shown at left.
*One additional foil required; order part 897
■
Stringing Connectors
After the headstay has been cut to length, but
before
the
lower terminal is attached, the proper number of con-
nectors must be placed on the headstay in the correct
order.
Every unit uses a top foil trim cap.
Every unit uses a number of 9" (229 mm) connetors
which varies according to the length of the headstay
and is determined by consulting the chart above.
Every unit uses one 11" (280 mm) bottom connector
Slide the trim cap onto the stay so that the open end
faces down.
Slide the proper number of 9" (229 mm) connectors
onto the headstay.
Slide the 11" (280 mm) bottom connector onto the
headstay so that it is closest to the bottom of the head-
stay.
Have the wire swaged by a reputable rigger.
Norseman/Sta-Lok Instructions
Because Norseman and Sta-Lok terminals are applied to the
headstay wire after the foil is built, it is not necessary to place
the connectors or trim cap on the wire at this time.
Norseman and Sta-Lok units require the same number of foils
and connectors as shown above. Identify the parts you need
and set them aside at this time.
Rod Instructions
Rod installations are identical to swaged wire at this point
except that the rod fitting is "coldheaded" to the rod rather than
swaged on.
If you ship a rod headstay to a service center do not coil tighter
than 200 times the rod's diameter.
