Installation and Maintenance Manual
Installation
The FlatWinderTM must be installed on a flat area of the deck, reinforced if necessary to bear a
load equal to at least twice the maximum working load of the FlatWinderTM.
It is the installer's responsibility to carry out all structural tests needed to ensure that the deck
can bear the load.
Harken® does not supply the screws needed to install the FlatWinderTM since these may vary
depending on the deck on which it is to be installed.
It is the installer's responsibility to choose the correct screws taking account of the loads they
will have to bear.
Harken® assumes no responsibility for incorrect installation of its FlatWinderTM or for an
incorrect choice of mounting screws.
DANGER!
Incorrect installation of the FlatWinderTM may cause severe injury or death. Consult
the yard that built the boat in the case of doubt over the correct positioning of the
FlatWinderTM.
WARNING!
Failure to use the correct number and type of mounting fasteners or failure to ensure
the correct deck strength can result in the FlatWinderTM pulling off the deck suddenly
and unexpectedly during high loads causing severe injury or death.
WARNING!
Verify the entry angle of the sheet. This must follow the indication on the outline
drawing to avoid overrides or damaging the FlatWinderTM.
After correctly positioning the unit, check that the gearmotor, electrical components and wiring
can be housed below decks.
To help find the optimal compromise, remember that, to make the installation of the gearmotor
easier, it can be coupled to the FlatWinderTM in different positions (rotate each 30°).
Once you have decided the correct mounting position for the FlatWinderTM on the deck and
checked the space available below deck, proceed with the installation.
