INSTALLATION DU SYSTEME NEX
NEX INSTALLATION
-
To install the NEX mechanisms (spool and swivel) as well as to t the terminals and the spliced furling line, PLEASE
read the manual delivered together with the NEX.
First hoist:
This is the most difcult part of the installation :
Choose weather conditions that are very light. Ensure sail is not twisted around sheets and tack.
Prepare your furling line: run it along the deck, both lines parallel, loose the purchase and connect the snap hook as
far aft as you can. Hoist the cable and sail together
First furl:
Tension the furling line to ensure the furling line is engaged into the drive unit
Pull one of the side of the furling line and furl the entire sail away, and allow the sheets to wrap around the furled sail,
spiraling down, to avoid the wind from trying to unfurl the sail.
First unfurl:
Release the furling line to a point where the furling line is slack. This disengages the furling line from the spool. Pull on
leeward sheet as sail unrolls. As the wind catches the sail, it will accelerate the unrolling until fully deployed.
If you nd the sail is not unrolling when you pull on the sheet:
- rst check that the furling line is slack, if this does not solve the problem then:
- pull on the furling line this will release the sail.
