Loading Sail On Car

Once hardware is installed on sail, load it

on cars beginning with the lower ones.
Luff cars
Remove clevis pin, place plastic center sleeve

between tangs and slip clevis in place. Secure

with cotter pin. Make sure that webbing is not

twisted.
1944 Car
Slip clevis pin through car and secure with

cotter pins.

Battcars: Slip a plastic bushing into each

end of the car lug.
Insert the shaft of the Battslide fitting

into the barrel so the threaded end

points up.
You must use a

5

/

16

" (8 mm) washer

between the plastic shaft-bushing and

the nut. See Diagram B.

Tighten the locknut until you begin to

feel the shaft of the Battslide bind when

you rotate it in the car.
Loosen the locknut 1/8 turn from this

point.
Tightening the locknut too tightly or

failing to use a washer will damage

the plastic liner.

Headboard
Attach headboard of sail to the

headboard coupler.
Raise sail and check to make sure

that sail is not too tall.
If necessary, have sail shortened.
