head, around bail, and back on the other side for a second lap. Secure with Carrick knot or other secure
knot. Consult knot tying book or see www.harken.com/knots.

see www.harken.com/knots.

Starting through mouth, run line through head, around bail, through head, and through mouth. Loop line once
below block. Loop line a second time forming a becket. Run line through head, around bail, and through mouth.

Using Sheet as Lashing and Becket
Do not use HCP1438 line supplied with 18 mm Fly block. Use a larger, stronger line that exceeds the block's break-
ing load to account for loss of strength due to weakness of knots, UV damage or chafing. Run sheet through
mouth, head, around bail, and back through head. Leave tail below for tying or whipping to long section of line.
Run line back through mouth and secure to long section of line. Use bowline knot or whip lines together.

Securing Block to End of Larger Line
Do not use supplied HCP1438 line. Use a larger, stronger line that exceeds the block's breaking load to account
for loss of strength due to weakness of knots, UV damage or chafing. Run line through head, through mouth,
and out head.Secure with a bowline with end whipped to loop so it stays secure. Consult knot tying book or
see www.harken.com/knots.
Securing Block to End of Larger Line
Securing Block to Large Diameter Object
When running line around large-diameter object such as a boom, cross line each time you pass around the object.
Blocks 2161, 2171, 2173: Use sailmaker’s twine or similar to secure lashing strands to head. Use sailmaker's twine or
similar to hold lashing strands crossed as shown below.
Important! If lashing line is pushing outwards on head, it can break the block. Check to make sure each lap
crosses separately as shown in the photo at left below.
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.
Inspect Line Every Time You Sail
Inspect lashing line for chafe or UV damage every time you sail. Replace damaged
line immediately. Replace line with no visible damage every two-years. Use Harken
replacement line, but if using own line, see “Using Alternate Line, Knots and Splices”
and chart on back page for important information to help you select the correct line.
