Operation Storage • Maintenance

February 2000 Unit 1 MKIII 35

■ Storage – Mast Down

In areas where it freezes, do not store the system where water can accumulate in the foils. When the water freezes it

will rupture the aluminum. Store the foils under cover, with grooves facing down or on an angle so water will run out.

■ Storage or Transporting

Do not store or transport the system with the lower unit extending beyond the mast. Remove the masthead clevis

pin and shift the furler up so the lower unit can be strapped securely to the mast. Some people remove the drum

assembly and halyard swivel for storage and transport.

■ After Storage or Transport

After storing or transporting the unit, clean thoroughly including ball bearings. See instructions on next below.

■ Cleaning and Lubricating

Keep the unit clean. When you wash the boat, flush the

unit with soap and fresh water. Occasionally lower the

sail and flush the halyard swivel with soap and fresh

water.

At least twice a year the unit should be cleaned more

thoroughly by opening the torque tube and flushing the

bearings with soap and fresh water. After the unit has

dried, apply a dry spray lubricant such as McLube

Foils may be cleaned by washing with soap and water.

A scrap of luff tape may be run up the foil to scrub

inside the grooves. Foils may be sprayed with McLube

spray to reduce friction during sail changes.

■ Inspection

Inspect the unit for signs of chafe, wear or damage.

Inspect the locking devices below the drum and inside

the torque tube for signs of loosening. Check headstay

tension for signs of loosening.

Inspect the swage fitting and lower toggle for signs

of stress corrosion.

Inspect the Norseman or Sta-Lok terminal or rod

terminal for signs of loosening.

Inspect all screws on the unit to be sure they have not

loosened.

Inspect the foil to make sure that it has not dropped

into the torque tube. Periodically inspect wire for

signs of wear or unraveling.

■ Replacing Line

To replace the line refer to Step 1 on page 28.
