1(5) SPINNAKER POLE TRACK AND GUIDE CONSOLE General Assembly single tracks Cut-out for spreader bracket Fitting single guide console Assembly single tracks with bedding Cut-out for spreader bracket Fitting single guide console Assembly double tracks Fitting double guide console Reinforced tracks General This instruction describes fitting single and double spinnaker pole tracks and guide console. Track types: RCB 30W and 25mm. For reference see MB M 1420 NMP. Assembly single tracks 2. Mark the height measure on the A-line. 3. Place the track upper end in level with the height measure, centred over the A-line and fix with packing tape. (Do not cover any predrilled holes). If the spinnaker track passes the mast join, locate the track so that one rivet goes in the middle of the join (see pic. 1). If track passes cast aluminium spreader brackets, see section Cut-out for spreader bracket below before proceeding. 4. Drill the uppermost hole-pair Ø4,9 or Ø6,5 depending on type of rivet. Place rivets in the holes to keep the track in position. 5. Continue to drill every four or five hole-pairs and place rivets in the holes along the way. Make sure the track does not slip out of position. 6. When the end of the track is reached, drill the remaining holes. The inserted rivets will keep the track in position. 7. Remove the track and clean with the air-gun. 8. Grind the track ends with a fine file. C 9. Re-position the track and fasten with rivets. 10. Punch out the mandrel heads. 11. Place the end stops and mark the holes with a pencil. 12. Drill and rivet the upper end stop. If track 25mm/R34 is used, place a washer (164-002) under the end stop. If guide console is to be fitted, see section Fitting single guide console below, before proceeding. 13. Drill the lower end stop holes (RCB 30W: with buffer 520-516) to Ø4,9 and tap M6. Fix the lower end stop with M6 screws with the car on the track. Use Schneidmittel. If track 25mm/R34 is used, place a washer (164-002) under the end stop. Cut-out for spreader bracket (RCB 30W only) Mark for a cut-out in the track, 3-4 mm each side of the spreader bracket and leave min.15mm of track height to ensure that the cars can pass with clearance, see pic. 2. Make the cut-out and grind all edges. C Place the track on top of the spreader bracket, centred over the A-line. The track will rest on the spreader bracket leaving a gap of 1-2mm. Drill Ø4,9 in the mast in appropriate nearby pre-drilled track-holes and tap M6. If no pre-drilled track-holes are available in the area, drill new holes Ø6,5 in the track and Ø4,9 holes tapped M6 in the mast close to the cutout, see pic. 2.
2(5) Force the wings down to close the gap using temporary M6 screws. Release the temporary M6 screws, one at a time, and replace with rivets. Continue with point 4. Fitting single guide console (RCB 30W only) Slide the car onto the track and fix the lower end stop as described in point 12. above. Mark the guide console height measure acc. to mast specification (upper legs centre holes, see pic. 4) and draw a line through the mark perpendicular to the A-line. ( Should be made before the track is assembled.) Adjust the guide console if necessary to fit the mast section. Mark the upper legs holes and fit the guide console upper legs with temporary M6 screws (drill Ø4,9 and tap M6). Check the symmetry of the guide console, mark the lower legs holes and fit the lower legs with temporary M6 screws (drill Ø4,9 and tap M6). Replace the upper and lower legs temporary screws with rivets. Check that the car fits in the guide console. If necessary, adjust the guide console by bending the legs until the car fits in the guide console. Assembly single tracks with bedding (RCB 30W; F194, F212, F228 only) 2. Mark the height measure and draw a line perpendicular to the A-line through the mark. 3. Place the track in level with the height measure, centred over the A-line. If the spinnaker track passes the mast join, locate the track so that one rivet goes in the middle of the join (see pic. 1). Proceed with Cut-out for spreader bracket below. 4. Cut the track to length and grind the edges. C 5. Place the track upper edge in level with the height measure, centred over the A-line and located over the cut out for spreader bracket. 6. Measure out the length of the bedding and place it under the track on both sides of spreader bracket. See pic 7. 7. Grind the bedding ends with a fine file. C 8. Fix the track and bedding with packing tape (hard), centred over the A-line. Do not cover any predrilled holes. 9. Drill the uppermost hole-pair with Ø6,5. Place rivets in the holes to keep the track and bedding in position. 10. Continue to drill every four or five hole-pairs and place rivets in the holes along the way. Make sure the track and bedding does not slip out of position. 11. When the end of the track is reached, drill the remaining holes. The inserted rivets will keep the track in position, remove the packing tape. 12. Loosen the track and bedding, blow clean from burrs. 13. Fit the track with bedding, insert the rivets and fasten it. 14. Punch out the mandrel heads and 15. Place the end stops with buffers and mark the holes with a pencil. 16. Drill Ø6,5 mm and rivet the upper end stop with buffer (520-516) see pic 8. If guide console is to be fitted, see section Fitting single guide console below, before proceeding. 17. Put the lower end stop with buffer (520-516) in position, drill the lower end stop holes to Ø4,9 and tap M6. 18. Slide the car onto the track and fix the lower end stop (with buffer) with M6 screws. Use schneidmittel on the screw thread. Cut-out for spreader bracket (RCB 30W only) Mark for a cut-out in the track, 3-4 mm each side of the spreader bracket and leave min.15mm of track height to ensure that the cars can pass with clearance, see pic. 2. Make the cut-out and grind all edges. C
3(5) Assembly double tracks (RCB 30W only) Slot layout and location of other fittings may need to be re-located when fitting double spinnaker tracks. Double tracks can not pass aluminium cast spreader brackets on F-sections. 2. Mark the height measure acc. to mast specification and draw a line perpendicular to the A-line through the mark. 3. Place the track in level with the height measure and leave a gap of 4mm (2mm each side of A-line, see pic. 5) between the tracks to allow the cars to pass each other (pic. 5). Fix the tracks with packing tape. If guide console is to be fitted, see section Fitting double guide console below, before proceeding. 4. Drill the uppermost hole-pair Ø4,9 or Ø6,5 depending on type of rivet. Place rivets in the holes to keep the track in position. 5. Continue to drill every four or five hole-pairs and place rivets in the holes along the way. Make sure the track does not slip out of position. 6. When the end of the track is reach, drill the remaining holes. The inserted rivets will keep the track in position. 7. Remove the track and clean with the air-gun. 8. Grind the track ends with a fine file. C 9. Re-position the track and fasten with rivets. 10. Punch out the mandrel heads. 11. Place the end stops and mark the holes with a pencil. 12. Drill and rivet the upper end stop. 13. Drill the lower end stop holes Ø4,9 and tap M6. Fix the lower end stop with M6 screws with the car on track. Use schneidmittel. Fitting double guide console Mark the guide console height measure (upper legs centre holes, see pic. 4) and draw a line through the mark perpendicular to the A-line. Keep the guide console in position and mark the cut-out in the tracks for the centre leg with a pencil, see pic 3. Remove the tracks and make the cut out. Grind the edges. Re-position the tracks and the guide console and check the cut out. Fit the guide console centre leg with MFT M6 screws. Mark the upper legs holes and fit with temporary M6 screws (drill Ø4,9 and tap M6). Check the symmetry of the guide console, mark the lower legs holes and fit the lower legs with temporary M6 screws (drill Ø4,9 and tap M6). Replace the upper and lower legs temporary screws with rivets. Continue with point 4-12. Before proceeding with point 13 (fitting the lower end stop), slide the two cars onto the tracks and make sure the cars fit inside the guide console. If necessary, adjust the guide console by bending the legs until the cars fit in the guide console. Proceed with point 13.
4(5) Reinforced tracks If double fastening is specified, drill and rivet between the original rivets, see pic. 6. If triple fastening is specified, drill and mount two rivets between the original rivets, evenly distributed, see pic. 6. Min. height: 15 mm Pic. 1 Pic. 2 Pic. 3 Pic. 4
