Assemble the spreaders on the centre of the
mast. The spreader root attaches to the front
of the mast section onto the one-piece stain-
less steel strap. The spreader rake adjuster
barrel attaches on each side to the individual
fittings on both sides of the mast nearer the
sail track. To adjust the spreader rake, adjust
the length of the barrel (by winding in or out)
and measure from the wire positions at the
tips of each spreader. Caution : do not try to
adjust spreader rake while diamond wires are
1
Unroll the diamond wires. Attach the joint end of the
diamond wires onto the turnbuckle adjuster near the
base of the mast (level with the security sticker) using
the pin and split ring.
Take the loose ends of the diamond wires and hold tight to
adjust to the same length, using the turnbuckle adjuster
which is located on the lower section of one of the wires.
Once they are the same length, attach the two wires to the
shield plaes situated on each side of the mast under the
mast tang.

Slide the diamond Wires into the correspon-
ding slots at the end of the spreaders. En-
sure the black plastic roller is above the
spreader arm. It may be necessary to re-
lease tension from the diamond wire turnbu-
ckle adjuster near the base of the mast. Se-
cure the diamond wire with the thin wire
supplied. Pass the wire through the small
hole near the spreader tip, bend the wire
and on one side of the spreader turn the
wire around the thicker diamond wires two
or three times. Do the same for the other
side of the spreader. Cut off the excess thin
wire ensuring it is bent neatly onto the dia-
mond wires as to prevent the wire from tea-
ring the sails. Once secured, tape over the
spreader tips to further ensure there are no
sharp edges.
