RECEIPT OF GOODS
All goods must be c ecked on delivery and t e purc aser s ould claim from t e carrier wit in seven
days in t e event of loss or damage.
CAUTION !
1- - Before connecting t e system to t e electric or ydraulic circuit, please try first to furl and unfurl t e
sail manually wit t e andle supplied.
2- T e PROFURL motorized reefing-furling systems are extremely powerful. Please carefully follow t e
safety recommendations below :
• Never leave a andle inserted in t e socket used for manual override (located at rear end of
gear motor). Fit t e cap over t e socket as soon w en t e andle removed.
• Disconnect t e control box and electrical circuits w en t e system is not in use, especially w en
c ildren are on board
• W en furling c eck t at t e jib s eets are running free and are not jammed.
• Keep clear from t e system during operation.
MEANING OF SYMBOLS USED IN THIS MANUAL :

T e PROFURL motorized eadsail reefing-furling systems are designed to be fitted over t e existing
forestay.
T e following components are identical to a PROFURL manual system:
- extrusions and connectors. T e gear motor replaces t e drum mec anism found on a manual PROFURL
system. Please c eck assemblies of t ese components in t e standard drum Installation Manual, pages
18 and 19.
- alyard swivel (pages 20 and 25) and Wrapstop (page 17)
FITTING THE MECHANICAL PARTS
ADAPTATION OF THE ORIGINAL FORESTAY
T e toggle (47) - please see page 2 - supplied must be attac ed directly onto t e stem ead
c ainplate and to t e bottom eye of t e forestay. No ot er fitting s ould be inserted between t e
toggle and t e c ainplate.
I - ORIGINAL FORESTAY WITH EYE AN A JUSTMENT PLATES
Accurately measure t e overall lengt pin to pin of your forestay.
• If an eye and adjustment plates are fitted please mark t e position of t e eye between t e plates.
• If a turnbuckle is fitted, please mark t e adjustment position of t e turnbuckle: t is will maintain your
existing mast rake and forestay tension.
5
ADAPTATION OF THE FORESTAY
a) T e adjustment plates s ould be completely removed
b) T e toggle supplied wit t e system s ould replace t e adjustment
plates.
• S ould t e forestay be too s ort: fit t e adjustment plates or a
standard toggle at t e top of t e stay, or fit a new forestay.
• S ould t e forestay be too long it s ould be s ortened to t e
correct lengt and a new eye swaged at t e bottom of t e stay.


MODIFICATION OF THE FORESTAY
You s ould c eck, modify or c ange your forestay to ave an eye at
t e bottom of your turnbuckle.
Fit t e PROFURL toggle (47) supplied between t e bottom eye of t e
forestay and t e toggle, fit t e pin (48) supplied, wit out using any ot er
part in t is assembly.
C eck on your turnbuckle t at dimensions M and diameter N are
smaller t an t e ones s own on eadboard 1.
• S ould t e forestay be too s ort: add a toggle at t e top of t e stay,
or c ange for a new stay.
• S ould t e forestay be too long: s orten t e wire and ave a new
turnbuckle wit an eye terminal swaged at t e bottom end of t e stay.
II - ORIGINAL FORESTAY WITH A TURNBUCKLE
III - ORIGINAL FORESTAY WITH AN EYE JAW TOGGLE
ADAPTATION OF THE STAY
You s ould remove t e captive pin to ave an eye terminal.
T e PROFURL toggle supplied s ould be fitted between t e eye and
t e c ainplate, wit no ot er fitting inserted in between.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEIGHT OF THE GEAR MOTOR ABOVE DECK
1. T e NDE / NDH motorized PROFURL systems allow you to c oose t e eig t of t e gear motor above
deck. T e maximum allowed dimensions of t e lower terminal may also determine t e minimum eig t
of t e gear motor above deck. Please refer to eadboard 1 for dimensions.
2. Measure t e forestay terminal as per eadboard 1 to c eck w et er adjustment is possible, and until
w ic amount. Please refer to drawing for minimum allowed lengt (L) of t e tube.
3. Fitting t e gear motor low to deck is ac ieved by s ortening t e stainless steel tube (45) located
between t e gear motor (28 or 29) and t e toggle (47).
THE TUBE SHOULD BE SHORTENED ONLY AT ITS LOWER END.
It is preferable t e tube is s ortened by mac ining in a lat e.
4. Having s ortened t e tube drill :
ON MODELS 42 ON MODELS 52
a 13 mm (33/64” ) ole on one side, a 16 mm (5/8” ) ole on one side,
a 15 mm (19/32” ) on t e opposite side a 19 mm (3/4” ) on t e opposite side
at t e same distance - 20 mm (51/64” ) - from t e bottom edge as t e original oles.
5. If t e tube as been s ortened it is strongly recommended t at it is electro and and polis ed.
T is will reduce discoloration and corrosion of t e tube.
T e gear motor s ould be temporarily fitted at t e bottom end of t e stay. T is will allow you to :
• c eck t at dimensions of t e different components (stay, toggle, c ainplate, turnbuckle, clevis pins, etc…)
matc toget er
• c eck t at raising or lowering t e anc or will not damage t e system.
• accurately calculate t e lengt of extrusions (please refer to page 9).

FITTING THE GEAR MOTOR
1 - For models 42 only, if t e system as been delivered wit a turnbuckle cylinder (52) - optional “I”
version:
• remove t e s ape adapter * (32) from t e gear motor,
• fit it at t e top of t e turnbuckle cylinder (52), align t e 3 oles in t e s ape adapter wit t e 3
corresponding t readed oles in t e cylinder.
• fit t e turnbuckle cylinder (52) at t e top end of t e gear motor, and screws (54).
* T e inside s ape of t e s ape adapter s ould matc t e outside
s ape of t e extrusions (round C 42, or foiled R 42).
2 - Depending on boat’s design t e stem ead c ainplate may ave been
constructed in eit er at wart -s ips or longitudinal direction. T e stainless steel
tube (45) s ould be fitted into t e gear motor in t e correct position in order
to ensure t at t e andle socket (38) in t e gear motor is facing backwards.
3 - Slide up t e gear motor over t e bottom of t e stay until t e bottom
forestay terminal is easily accessible.
4 - Slide up over t e bottom end of t e stay in t is order :
• T e stainless steel ring (44) fitted over t e anti corrosion bus ing (43)
• T e stainless steel tube (45)
5 - Take t e forestay bottom terminal t roug and out of t e bottom end of t e
stainless steel tube, and fit t e bottom eye onto t e upper ole of t e toggle (47).
Retain t e pin (48) in t e ole of t e toggle (45) wit ad esive tape.
6 - Keep t e gear motor raised (wit a alyard if t e system is fitted on a standing stay).
7 - Fit t e toggle (47) over t e c ainplate wit t e t readed clevis pin (49) supplied,
fit t e was ers (51) and t e locknuts (50).
8 - Adjust tension of turnbuckle (if fitted).
9 - Lower t e stainless steel tube (45) over t e toggle, and fit t e clevis pin (48) supplied (t e one wit
a ead) to connect t e stainless steel tube (45) onto t e lower ole of t e toggle (47).
10 - Lower t e gear motor over t e stainless steel tube (45) and fit t e 3 screws (41) to attac t e gear
motor onto t e stainless steel tube.
11 - During final assembly of t e extrusions, slide t em vertically into t e gear motor (or turnbuckle cylinder
if any) so t at t e black mark on t e lower extrusion is level wit t e top of t e s ape adapter (32). Fit
t e 3 set screws (30) to attac t e bottom end of extrusions.
8
Properly secure t e turnbuckle to ensure t at it will NOT unwind w en operating t e system.

CAUTION!
W en adjusting your turnbuckle more open, please do not unwind and extend t e turnbuckle
longer t an t e maximum allowed lengt . Remind in case t e stainless steel tube as been s ortened,
ìNî dimension will be reduced accordingly. Please refer to eadboard 1.


CUTTING EXTRUSIONS TO LENGTH
Temporarily fit t e gear motor onto t e stay, as per steps 1 to
10 of previous page.
Please refer to “L” on drawings.
Please measure “L”:
• Wit out turnbuckle cylinder: between t e upper edge of
rotating s aft…
• Wit turnbuckle cylinder: between t e upper edge of t e
turnbuckle cylinder…
• … and t e lower edge of t e upper terminal, (w ere t e wire
disappears inside t e swage terminal).
Every extrusion being 2 meter (
6’ 6 3/4” ) long, cut one extrusion to obtain a total lengt as ”G”. T e cut
end will be located at t e top end of t e extrusions.
Caution: t e lower (feeder) extrusion (22) s ould not be cut.
Fitting t e extrusions toget er is described in t e Installation Manual pages 18 and 19.

Headboard 2

T e two 5 Meter / 15 Ft electrical cables
supplied are pre-wired in factory on t e electric
drive motor. T e end of t e two cables must
be connected onto a relay box (PROFURL
option). It allows t e rotation of t e motor to
be reversed for furling/unfurling.
T e relay box s ould be fitted inside t e boat
in a dry area.
A control box s ould be connected by cable
to t e relay box, to allow operating t e system
(normally from t e cockpit).
WIRING OF ELECTRIC SYSTEMS

fitted as s own on drawing.
In case t e boat as a metal ull, or is being used for commercial sailing in some countries, t e circuit
breaker s ould be specified as bi-polar, and ordered as an option at PROFURL.
