Fig: 4.2.d Insert the locking pin together with the locking adhesive. Secure the pin with a piece of adhesive tape. (The tape is removed when the lower bearing assembly is slid on.) NOTE: Do not allow locking adhesive to come into contact with the skin! Fit a slotted distance tube on the rod forestay and push it into the 2400 mm (94 1/2”) luff extrusion.

Fig: 4.2.d Puch the bushes into the 1000 mm extrusion/bearing plug. Fit a slotted distance tube on the rod forestay and push it into the 2400 mm (94 1/2”) luff extrusion. Fig: 4.2.e Release the lowest joining sleeve by the upper end terminal and secure the remaining sleeves again. Slide the next 2400 mm (94 1/2”) extrusion over the rod’s top, then fit the joining sleeve and con- necting plate into it’s lower end.

Fig: 4.2.h Guide the lower bearing assembly on from below. Push it carefully onto the extrusion so that the stainless steel inner tube does not scratch the extrusion. Use cloth or paper for protection. Fig: 4.2.i Screw out the socket on the lower terminal part and remove the wedge and former. These three parts are no longer required.

15.1 Terminal part: Guide the lower bearing assembly down over the spacer bush and terminal part. The inside of the lower bearing assembly matches the Fig: 4.2.l flat face on the terminal part. 15.2 Furlex rigging screw: If a Furlex rigging screw is used, the flat faces of all three parts must be aligned.
Fig: 4.2.s 21. We recommend fitting the Furlex-system onto the boat at this stage. See Chapter 16, ”Rigging”. ”Manual Furlex 200 S & 300 S” (ref. no. 595-104-E). resp ”Manual Furlex 400 S & 500 S” (ref. no. 595-116-E).
