Harken 434 Small Boat furling - Manual (Page 2)

Harken equipment is designed for minimal maintenance, but some maintenance
is required to give the best service and to comply with the Harken limited warranty.
In general, the most important aspect of maintenance is to keep your 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.
With the exception of winches, do not use grease unless specifically recommended
in the instruction sheets.
Furling System: Keep furling units clean by flushing frequently with fresh water.
Periodically clean the lower unit and the halyard swivel with detergent and fresh
water to remove deposits of salt and dirt. Lubrication is not required
IMPORTANT! Exposure to some teak cleaners and other caustic solutions can
result in discoloration of part and is not covered under the Harken warranty.
Printed in USA. 4403 1/14
Upper Swivel: Attach the upper swivel to the jib halyard. Fasten the
head of the jib to the upper swivel and attach the tack to the top of
the drum. Hoist the sail with the halyard, snug it up and cleat.
Furling Line Lead and Cleat: Lead the furling line through the aft
slot on the starboard side of the drum so it does not rub and lead
it to a point on the starboard side of the foredeck where the line lead
is exactly perpendicular to the luff wire or forestay. Mount a plastic
fairlead with a stainless insert at this point or use a 082 bullet block
on an eyestrap. Lead the line aft and mount a 238 cam cleat with
fairlead. Tie a figure “8” knot in the end and you’re ready to furl.
For additional safety, maintenance and warranty information see www.harken.com/
