3. Product Description and Components
b) Component materials
Anodized aluminum is used throughout the pulleys. The handle is glass reinforced
nylon. The rope is an 8 mm static polyester with a sewn termination and is not to be
substituted. Pulleys have stainless steel axles and fasteners. The ratchet mechanism
is stainless steel.
The IN404 WingMan is a mechanical advantage system consisting of two swivel pulleys
and a manufacturer supplied rope. One pulley is a double with a becket to dead end the
rope. The other pulley is a double with a ratchet and cammed sheave with a releasing
handle allowing gradual release of the mechanical advantage system under load. The
releasing handle is located at the operator end.

5. Use
a) Inspection before each use
Inspect the following carefully before using the WingMan. Correct problems before using.
See part description on page 5 and inspection form on page 15.
Component Inspection Action if not correct
Swivel eyes Ensure swivel rotates freely. Lack of rotation
can indicate overload.
Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Swivel eyes Check for wear on load bearing part of eye for
each pulley.
Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Swivel eye retaining
screws
Check for loose screws. Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Riveted end of axle Ensure rivet is secure and not loose. Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Pulley body Inspect the aluminum body of the pulley for any
cracks wear or corrosion.
Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Sheave operation Ensure sheaves roll freely. Ensure ratchet
sheave rolls one direction and stops in other
direction. The ratchet sheave should make a
clicking sound when rotating.
Follow maintenance
directed in this manual and
recheck. If still does not roll
freely remove from service.
Send to Harken service
center.
Releasing handle
Ensure that the releasing handle locks rope
when handle is released completely. Ensure
spring action closes the handle smartly.
Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Inspect the handle for any cracks wear or
separation between halves.
Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Rope sewn
termination
Check sewn loop for signs of unraveling or
damage. Inspect rope becket cover to ensure
screw is tight and locked using thread-locking
compound.
Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Rope Check for any abrasion, UV damage, mold,
exposure to chemicals, grease or excessive
heat.
Remove from service. Send
to Harken service center.
Rope stopper knot Ensure there is a stopper knot on the free end
of the haul rope.
Tie barrel knot and cover
with clear shrink wrap.
Reeving of rope
Ensure the rope strands are not crossed or
tangled. This can happen if the pulley is flipped
during handling.
Flip the pulley through
the strands to correct the
problem. See diagram in
part 3.
Ensure the rope is reeved through all sheaves.
The haul/tailing end of rope must exit from the
double pulley with becket.
Lead rope through last
sheave and ensure the
sewn stop is in place.

If the operator is the load,
the system becomes a 5:1.
5:1
Load
5:1 mechanical
advantage.
Anchor
Function test - Before each use, verify that the device is working properly. Always use a
backup safety system. Anchor one end and gradually apply load to the WingMan. Make
sure the rope is locked in the double pulley with releasing handle. Grip the running end
of rope with one hand and then with the other hand slowly open the handle to allow
the rope to pass through and load to begin lowering. Ease pressure on the handle so
it closes and make sure the rope locks. With a moderate load on the system, open the
handle and make sure the handle snaps closed. Pull on the haul/tailing rope and make
sure the sheaves turn freely and you hear a clicking sound.
Setup - Secure one end to an anchor or appropriate full strength anchor point on
harness. Keep the releasing handle within reach of the operator.
Depending on orientation the WingMan can be used as a 4:1 mechanical advantage
system or a 5:1 mechanical advantage system.
4:1 Mechanical advantage - If the double pulley with becket is attached to the anchor
so the double with releasing handle is the movable load, and if the operator is not the
moveable load, the system provides a 4:1 mechanical advantage. If the operator is the
moveable load, the system becomes a 5:1.
5:1 Mechanical advantage - If the double pulley with releasing handle is attached to
the anchor and the double with becket is the movable load, the system provides a 5:1
mechanical advantage. Note: the handle must be within reach of the operator.
