Installation
Review all instructions carefully prior to installation of your
new Integral Hydraulic Cylinder.
1. Carefully unpack the cylinder and check for visible
defects. If any signs of damage are present, contact
your dealer at point of purchase or Harken.
2. Extend cylinder to prepare for installation.
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 cylinder.
When cylinder is extended, detach from deck
and main halyard.
3. Check installation site for clearance.
Attach a standard eye/jaw toggle to the cylinder’s
bottom clevis before securing to the chainplate.
• Install two pins in different orientation to accommodate
stay movement so the aluminum won’t fatigue during use.
• Standard toggles fit all Harken cylinders.
NOTICE: Be sure to include toggle length in cylinder
length for deduction from stay.
4. Mount cylinder rod end up.
When mounting, orient pump handle to your preference.
