Harken HC9045 Battcar Switch System - Manual (Page 7)

11/21/11 26 mm/32 mm Battcar Switch System 7
Preassembly Mounting Track to Mast
Assembly General Instructions
Note width and shape of switch and
build a platform on mast for mounting.
If using two storage tracks, make sure
switch and storage tracks are on the
same flat surface. Curved mast surfaces
will not allow correct alignment.
HC10060 Double storage track for the
26 mm comes with a tube to cut spacers
to adapt to curved mast surfaces.
Note: when mounting to curved surfaces,
wedges will be necessary under the switch.
Consult with mastbuilder. Use suitable
reinforcing plates when fastening track
to carbon spars.
When mounting tracks work meticulously using a straight edge reference line along mast. Do not let tracks vary
from this line. Tape track in place and centerpunch hole at bottom using a transfer punch.
Tip for mounting to aluminum mast: Use low speed drill with tap for cutting threads.
IMPORTANT! Use blue Loctite
® instead of oil to lubricate tap.
Remove track and drill and tap single hole.
Fasten track using this single screw and align
side to side correctly. Use tape to hold in
place. Use longer car to test alignment.
Move up several holes and use transfer
punch to mark a second hole. Remove track
and drill and tap hole.
Fasten track using two screws. Mark all
remaining holes using punch. Remove track
and drill and tap all holes. Before installing
track make sure upper end has splice piece
inserted.
Use threadlocking adhesive to secure screw.

page 8.
