Lubricate the sheaves with silicone. Change any distorted or dented
sheave. Inspect the pins of the sheaves at the top of the mast once
a year.
Regularly check the jam cleat jaws for condition.
Inspect the halyards for wear and condition.
Regularly clean the blocks (waste grease, corrosion spot).
Slightly lubricate the block pins.
Avoid untimely gybes in order to reduce the premature wear on the
sheets and attachment points.
Avoid rope jamming during winch handling.
Do not leave loose ropes on the winches but fasten them on cleats.
Adjust the winches on receipt of your boat (rinse them regularly du-
ring the season).
The winches should rotate freely, they need overhaul as soon as it
slightly seizes.
• MAINTENANCE
Carry out the complete maintenance of the winches regularly (befo-
re and during the sailing season).
- Remove the drums and clean them.
- Lubricate the drums with a film of white grease or Teflon to reduce
the friction and fight against corrosion (this type of grease is clean,
non toxic and biodegradable).

WARNING
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to remove the win-
ches and put them back.
Improper refitting may result in accidents (e.g. kick of the
crank handle).
RECOMMENDATION
A winch drum is designed to have a minimum number of
turns necessary so that it does not slip and that the stress
is not passed on to the self-tailing mechanism.
Make at least 3 or 4 turns on the winch.
WARNING
Keep hands away electric winches (optional) when used.
Close the doors after use of switches.
