Loop and/or high-strength lashing line

When choosing a Harken Loup
working load in basket configuration exceeds the maximum working load
of the block.

When choosing a lashing line, use a breaking load that is double the block's
breaking load to account for strength loss from:

1. Knots slipping or breaking at a much lower load than line breaking load.

®

Spectra

or Dyneema®-type lines require specialized knots.

2. Splices slipping or failing due to incorrect type or execution.

3. UV damage increasing with each passing year.

7

4. Chafing seriously reducing strength.
Go to www.harken.com/knots for additional information. If you are not

comfortable choosing line, work with a qualified rigger.

Note: See chart for maximum line diameter that will fit through mouth.

8

WARNING! Knots weaken line considerably. Consult qualified rigger
or line manufacturer for advice on securing line. Use high-strength
loops or consult rigger for recommendations on lashing. Using the
wrong line, or securing the line improperly, can cause an accident.

Terminating to Deadend Post

WARNING! Webbing or smaller lashings can be damaged by
being pinched between post and sideplate. Damaged webbing
or lashings can part suddenly under load. Use only loops when
terminating at deadend post.

Terminating to deadend post lets you attach block to a closed bail such
as a padeye.

5. Open sideplates without
pulling line through block.

Deadend post

1. Remove screw.

2. Remove deadend post.

Loop

Tip: With shorter loops, place loop at the side of the head to allow more
room to insert the deadend post.

6. Part legs of loop and
insert deadend post.
Make sure deadend
post is seated straight
in sideplate. Put
sideplates together.

Deadend post

7. Pull loops to seat ends
on deadend post.

3. Insert loop into block
mouth as shown.

4. Pass loop ends through
mouth so loops extend
beyond block's sideplates
as shown.

8. Reassemble block using
blue Loctite® adhesive
on screw.
