ASSEMBLY<br />
Foil Length<br />
■ CHECK FOIL LENGTH<br />
Once the foils and lower unit are assembled, use a winch<br />
handle to close the stay adjuster. Turn the handle in a<br />
clockwise direction.<br />
Check the clearance between the top of the foil and top terminal.<br />
TIP: Check clearance when the unit is on the ground,<br />
before raising the headstay into position.<br />
WARNING: It is critical to have clearance between the top<br />
foil and the top rigging fitting when the stay adjuster is in the<br />
fully closed position. If the fittings touch, the unit will jam<br />
or in the case of a Sta-Lok fitting, the terminal may become<br />
unscrewed. This could cause catastrophic failure to the spar<br />
and a life threatening situation.<br />
It is the responsibility of the rigger to check clearance.<br />
