Inspect Block and Shackle Before You Sail
WARNING! Failure to inspect and replace damaged metal parts and/or worn or frayed line
can cause block or system to break suddenly causing an accident.
Frequently inspect shackles and shackle posts for signs of corrosion, cracks, or elongation. When
replacing shackles, use the correct Harken parts to maintain the proper strength. Replace line as
necessary, taking into consideration the maximum size recommendation.
Maintenance
Harken equipment is designed for minimal maintenance. However, some upkeep is required to give
the best service and comply with the Harken limited warranty.
Keep your equipment clean and free-running by frequently flushing with fresh water. Periodically
clean with mild detergent and water solution. Spin sheaves to distribute soap solution evenly.
Flush with fresh 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.
