5.7 ELECTRIC GENOA FURLING SYSTEM
Operation
- Leave several turns of the furling line around the drum.
- Furl/unfurl the genoa slowly so that the furling line is always under light tension thus avoiding
any riding turns in the drum.
- Never slacken the genoa halyard when furling/unfurling the sail.
- When furling in light winds, it is recommended to keep the sheet under slight tension so that
the genoa furls correctly.
- Manual procedure: In the event of power failure, the emergency kit supplied with the furler
allows sails to be furled or unfurled manually. The user must insert the square bit into the slot
provided and then pull continuously on the guide roller to rotate the stay rod..
Maintenance
- Rinse the furling drum regularly.
- It is recommended to rinse mechanical parts at least once a year in fresh water.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance.
