Norseman/Sta-Lok Instructions
Norseman/Sta-Lok installations are identical to swaged wire at
this point.
Tip: To check amount of exposed thread, with Norseman/Sta-
Lok, measure from top of *hub extension which is even with
top of the turnbuckle.

Rod Instructions
Rod installations are identical to swaged wire at this point.

Tip: To check amount of exposed thread, measure from top of
*hub extension which is even with top of the turnbuckle.

Clean excess Loctite and dirt from the foils. Be sure

that the adhesive has cured before raising the foil.

See page 7.

Tip: Be careful to clean Loctite from inside the foil

grooves - it may stain your sail.

Raise the unit and attach to the masthead toggle and

stemhead chainplate.

Tip: The foils are not fragile and will not collapse

under their own weight. Don't let the unit catch

under deck fittings or scrape along the dock. Place

the lower end of system inside the lifelines before

the headstay is attached to the mast.

If the headstay is not long enough to reach the chain-

plate, check to be sure that the upper and lower studs

are open to the marks but do not open the turnbuckle

past the marks on the studs.
At no time should more than 2" (51 mm) of thread

be exposed at either the top or the bottom of the

turnbuckle.
If the turnbuckle is open to the marks and it is still not

long enough, then a toggle must be added to lengthen

the headstay.

Tip: A headstay that looks short may be long enough

after the turnbuckle is tensioned to remove sag and

stretch.
