Product catalog summary
Introduction
This installation manual provides instructions for the SDG 4000, 6000, and 8000 PC models of gennaker and Code Zero furlers. It includes cautions, component descriptions, installation procedures, and usage advice.

Caution
The products, particularly halyard swivels, are designed solely for hoisting sails and must not be used to lift objects or people up the mast.

Components
The kit includes a swivel, an endless line drum with a shackle or jaw, and an eye or snap shackle to be locked under the drum.

Installation
The Drum: Attach the eye or snap shackle to a suitable point on the yacht, ensuring the in/out line faces aft. Secure the shackle using a flat key and a stainless steel part for final tightening.
The Swivel: Identify the top side using the sticker, insert the sail/halyard head into the shackle, and secure it. If a block is present, fix it at the top of the swivel and insulate the stainless steel screw from the aluminum.

Furling Line Fitting
Use a halyard rope type furling line: Ø 8 mm for SDG 4000 PC and Ø 10 mm for SDG 6000 and 8000 PC. Insert the line into the drum, ensuring it exits correctly, and splice the line to fit through the furler.

Sail Installation
Use the shackle or jaw with the fast pin to secure the tack point of the sail.

Usage
To furl or unfurl, slightly tension the halyard.

Advice and Information
This furler should not replace the forestay. Ensure the working and breaking loads do not exceed the furler's capacity. The system is not for reefing; the sail must be fully unfurled during use. Clean the stainless steel push-pin in boiled water.
