2. Hold the bearing over a box so that when the balls fall out,
which they inevitably will, they won't roll into oblivion.
3. Note that there are two dimples on the outer cover. Grasp
the outer cover with your thumb and a finger each at 90
degrees from the dimples. Squeeze. The dimples will clear
the inner groove, the cover will slide off, and the balls will
fall out.
4. Clean all the balls and the race. Fresh water is normally
sufficient, although grease must also be removed if
present.
5. Reassemble the bearing, cup and antirotation strap.
SAILMAKER'S & RIGGER'S INSTRUCTIONS
Luff tape required is #6. Sail luff deduction is 13" from pin-to-
pin length.
We recommend use of webbing at the head and tack instead
of metal grommets. This allows the sail to reef and furl more
evenly.
The Flexible Furler can not be mounted above the turnbuckle
as it might put excessive torsional stress on the turnbuckle
that could lead to the unscrewing of the turnbuckle and
dismasting. To raise the system, shorten the headstay the
desired amount and install link plates under the turnbuckle.
The FF2 can be used with
turnbuckle must have a threaded swage-end and T-bolt
toggle. Stays with other fittings (eyes, jaws, etc.) must be
altered, as the antirotation strap will not fit using these other
fittings. You must replace closed body, locknut turnbuckles
with open body, cotter pinned turnbuckles. Lock nuts are not a
satisfactory way to lock turnbuckles. Any improper installation
could lead to an unscrewing torque on the turnbuckle lock
nuts, allowing the turnbuckle to unscrew and the mast to fall
down. This can lead to injury or death.
Toggles are required at the top of the headstay as well as the
bottom.
