Hoisting The Jib; Lowering The Jib - CDI Flexible Furler 2 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

HOISTING THE JIB

1. Attach the halyard to the jib.
2. Pull up the sail by pulling down the decored end of the halyard
using the messenger line attached to the decored end (see #3,
page 6), while feeding the sail into the sail feed slot. If raising and
lowering the sail frequently, a pre-feeder should be added.
3. When the sail is fully hoisted, untie the messenger line. Pass
the decored end of the halyard through the halyard shackle on top
of spool and finish off with bowline or some half hitches. After
taping rope to prevent fraying, cut off the unused decored end.
Melt end and remove tape.
4. Tension the luff of the sail with the 1/8" tack tension line,
passing two or three parts through the downhaul shackle on spool
flange and grommet on sail, and finish off with some half hitches.
5. Add or eliminate furling line on drum as necessary. When sail
is furled tightly, there should be two or three turns left on the spool.

LOWERING THE JIB

1. Ease off the tack tension line.
2. Cast off the halyard from the halyard shackle. Attach a messenger
line to the decored end of the halyard and lower the jib.
