Installation
Review all instructions carefully prior to installation of your new
integral backstay adjuster.
1. Carefully unpack the adjuster and check for visible defects. If
any signs of damage are present, contact your dealer at point of
purchase or Harken.
2. Extend adjuster to prepare for installation and to measure
backstay length.
Turn release knob counterclockwise completely. Attach the
bottom (end) clevis to the deck, and attach the upper (rod)
clevis to the main halyard.
Pull rod clevis as necessary to fully extend the
adjuster.
Note:
the unit does not have a built in return force.
You will need to apply force to open unit. When adjuster is
extended, detach from deck and main halyard.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to include toggle length in adjuster length
for deduction from stay.
