Inspect
Frequently inspect shackles and control block fittings for signs of fatigue and replace as
necessary. Make sure every installation includes Harken track end stops. Arrange control
tackle so cars do not hit end stops under load.
Maintenance
Traveler Cars: Clean by frequently flushing with fresh water. Periodically clean car by
squirting a detergent/water solution into center openings. Roll car back and forth to
distribute evenly then flush bearings with fresh water.
Do not use spray lubricants because ball bearings may skid not roll. Apply one to two
drops of McLube
through OneDrop™ several times to distribute onto bearings. Wipe remaining OneDrop™
off track. OneDrop™ is preferred but you can also use one to two drops of a light
machine oil.
Track: Clean with detergent and water.
Important! Exposure to some teak cleaners and other caustic solutions can result in
discoloration of part and is not covered under the Harken warranty.
