Inspect
Carefully inspect track and mounting hardware for any signs of loosening, cracks or damage. Inspect end stops to
make sure they are secure and that there are no cracks or damage. Arrange control tackle so cars do not hit end stops
under load.
Traveler Cars: Clean by frequently flushing with fresh water. Periodically clean car by squirting a deter-
gent/water solution into center openings. Roll car back and forth to distribute evenly then flush bearings
with fresh water.
Do not use spray lubricants because ball bearings may skid not roll. Apply a few drops of McLube
®
OneDrop
™
to ball contact surfaces of track. Roll car back and forth through OneDrop
™
several
times to distribute onto bearings. Wipe remaining OneDrop
™
off track. OneDrop
™
is preferred but
you can also use one to two drops of a light machine oil. Too much oil attracts dirt.
Track: Clean with detergent and water.
IMPORTANT! Exposure to some teak cleaners and other caustic solutions can result in
discoloration of part and is not covered under the Harken warranty.
WARNING! Failure to inspect tracks and stops can result in track pulling off deck suddenly
and unexpectedly during high load.
Mounting End Controls and End Stops
Make sure deck is reinforced to handle traveler loads. Carefully drill deck holes. Slightly bevel top of hole to allow
sealant to form a small ring at deck level. Use marine sealant, making sure sealant fills hole and beveled area.
Use a
5
/
16
" (8 mm) flathead screw. Carefully choose fasteners that are made from A4 (316) or A2 (18-8)
stainless steel.
Run screw through end control and track then secure under the deck using a large washer or backing plate
and washer and locknut. Make sure deck is reinforced to handle traveler loads.
Use large washers or backing plates and lock washers or locknuts. It is installer's responsibility to choose
correct screws, nuts, washers, and threaded plates, taking account materials and loads they will have to bear.
Harken
®
assumes no responsibility for incorrect installation of end controls or for an incorrect choice
of mounting fasteners.
WARNING! Use correct number and type of fasteners in A4 (316) or A2 (18-8) stainless steel.
Fasteners made of other materials may not have sufficient strength or may corrode which
can result in end controls pulling off track suddenly and unexpectedly during high loads.
Reeving Cars and End Control Blocks
Attaching Splice to Deadend on Controls
Use allen wrench to remove two screws holding
sheave assembly. Do not remove deadend horn.
Capture splice on horn and assemble sheave using
threadlocking solution such as blue Loctite
®
on
screws. When using smaller control line pass eye
inside horn and run tail through to make a hitch
without removing sheave assembly.
