Place the mast onto supports (trestles) if possible at about 80 cm from the ground, so as not to strain your back while
rigging the mast, leaving enough room to go all the way around the mast.
1. Installation of the spreaders
Take the spreader kit and screw the two spreaders in place
as shown in the photo.
2009 model: attach the black fixed part (A) with the nut and
bolt onto the stainless steel fitting of the mast and attach the
adjustable part (B) with the axe and the split ring on the
aluminium fitting.
2010 model : The two parts, A and B are attached with the
nuts and bolts delivered in the plastic bag with the kit.
Cover the nut and bolt (or the axe and split ring) that fix the
part B with self-welding tape.
2. Wiring mast fittings
Take the shackle n° 8 (C) at the end of the forestay cable,
remove the shackle, insert a shroud on each side of the
forestay, and fix the shackle to the bottom hole of the rigging
fitting at the top of the mast.
BE CAREFUL which way the forestay is installed : The strap
(E) should be against the mast.
Take the trapeze cables. Remove the shackle n° 6 (D) which
joins them, insert them into the second hole in the rigging
fitting and pass each side of the close end thimbles on the
trapeze cables. Pass the shackle through the first hole of the
rigging fitting and fix in place with the pin.
