Harken equipment requires minimal maintenance, but some is required to give
the best service and to comply with Harken's limited warranty.
It is important to keep equipment clean by frequently flushing with fresh water.
In corrosive atmospheres, stainless parts may show discoloration around holes,
rivets, and screws. This is not serious and may be removed with a fine abrasive.
Sails—Keep sail luff clean and inspect for signs of damage and fraying.
Repair if necessary.
The Carbo foil material is slippery. If more lubrication is required, spray a thin coat
of McLube
®
Sailkote
™
on sail luff tapes away from Carbo Racing Foil and boat deck.
Be sure to let sail dry before feeding sail into foil.

Warranty
CAUTION! Read instructions on McLube can before using.
Spray McLube Sailkote on sails in a well-ventilated area.
WARNING! Do not spray sail while it is on boat. McLube
Sailkote overspray will cause slippery decks which may
result in loss of footing, falling overboard and personal
injury or death.
If storing mast down, foil should be reasonably straight with foil groove down to avoid
water and ice buildup.
Before stepping mast, use soap and water to clean Carbo Racing Foil grooves.

IMPORTANT!
Spray sail away from the Carbo Racing Foil. Let McLube Sailkote
dry completely before feeding sail into foil. McLube Sailkote or other toluene-
or acetone-based lubricants must not be sprayed on or near foil. Spraying
McLube Sailkote directly on Carbo Racing Foil may damage it.
