1. Tie off to one of the padeyes on the pole so
that the ends of the lines are equal distances
from the pole.
Tie off hook on each end of the bridle lines so
that it is approx. 87” from the pole to the end of
the hook.
2. Snap the hook to the line at the end of the
front X-Bar.
4. Lift the pole in the upright position and
insert the pole stud into the compression plate
at the base of the mast.
3. Tie a loop near the end of the snap hook
and run the remainder of the line through the
trapeze thimble. Take up the slack and tie it
off. (Leave a small amount of slack in the
bridles as it will get tighter as the mast is
stepped)
Be sure to check all connection, wires, etc. for
safety.
See that the trapeze wires to the stepper pole
prevent the mast from swinging from port to
starboard more than a few feet.
5. Sheet in on the mainsheet system to the
step the mast, cleat, then attach the bridle
wires.
