Installing The Furling Line - CDI FLEXIBLE FURLER 2 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLING THE FURLING LINE (Please Read
Carefully)
1. Pass the furling line through the opening in the side of the
cup, then up through the hole in the top of the furling drum
flange. Tie an overhand knot to prevent it from escaping.
Before raising the jib, rotate the furler so there are about
20 turns of furling line on the furling drum.
2. Position the first fairlead or block so that the furling line
exits the cup at right angles to the forestay and
approximately in the middle of the cup athwartships.
Failure to properly position this first lead can result in
chafing and cutting of the furling line. In most cases, the
first fairlead must be mounted on the deck. Properly bed
the screws. If using a sunscreen on your sail, the furling
line should be wrapped so the sunscreen is on the outside
of the sail when the sail is furled. (The furler can work
rotating in either direction.)
Locating the first Fairlead
3. If you wish to position the first lead at the rail, you may
have to turn the cup 45 degrees to the centerline. This
may be done by selecting a different pair of holes when
installing the antirotation strap.
4. Place a cleat near the cockpit and away from other sail
handling equipment. When the sail is furled, there's a lot of
line to stow.
