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.

C. Remove the FlatWinderTM base and drill following the drilling template indication.
D. Bolt the base of the FlatWinderTM to the deck using six M6 bolts, Socket Head or Hexagonal
Headed (not supplied by Harken®), correctly chosen for the thickness and type of the boat
deck. Consult the yard that built the boat in case of doubt.
WARNING!
To install the FlatWinderTM on the deck, use only bolts in A4 stainless steel (DIN 267
part11). Bolts made of other materials may not have sufficient strength or may
corrode which can result in FlatWinderTM pulling off deck suddenly and unexpectedly
during high loads causing severe injury or death.
NOTICE
To mount FlatWinderTM on the deck, do not use countersunk bolts.
E.Fill the mounting holes and central hole with a suitable marine sealant.
F. Remove the excess adhesive/sealant from the base drainage channels and flange interface
surface
Once you have installed the base of the FlatWinderTM on the deck, proceed with motor
installation. The motor can be coupled to the FlatWinderTM in different positions. Check the
space available below deck and choose the suitable position.

Electric wiring diagrams
To guarantee greater efficiency in terms of safety and long life, for every FlatWinderTM model
is mandatory to install the Dual Function Control Box.
For more information, refer to the Dual Function Control Box manual.
Refer to the following diagrams for the electric wiring:
WARNING!
Read the Dual Function Control Box manual carefully before installing and using the
device.
NOTICE
For other installations, refer to the Dual Function Control Box manual.
NOTICE
In case the direction of movement is not congruent with the DSS arrow invert the
M1-M2 cable on the motor or on the Dual Function Control Box.
Fasten the Dual Function Control Box containing solenoids to bulkhead or wall: refer to the
Dual Function Control Box manual. Install remote circuit breaker between power supply and
Dual Function Control Box. Locate push-buttons on deck in a convenient spot for easy
FlatWinderTM operation: refer to the Digital System Switch manual.

motor on the proper direction.
WARNING!
Don’t insert rope bigger than 10mm or rope with splice using the previous procedure,
in case the rope have a splice should be remove the upper jaw and then engage
WARNING!
Keep far fingers or clothing when starting the engine to avoid to be entangled into
the pulley
WARNING
In case of close loop line should be check regularly the tension of the rope,
depending of temperature and humidity fiber rope can shrink a lot causing
overtension on the system

Do not use polishes or abrasive pastes on anodised, chromed plated or plastics surfaces.
Make sure that the holes and drainage channels in the base of the FlatWinderTM are not
obstructed so that water does not collect.
Maintenance table
FlatWinderTM must be visually inspected at the beginning and end of every season of sailing or
racing.
In addition they must be completely overhauled, cleaned and lubricated at least every 12
months.
