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.
With the exception of winches, do not use grease unless specifically recommended in
the instruction sheets.
