Installation and Maintenance Manual - Mod.D
Installation
The winch must be installed on a at area of the deck, reinforced if necessary to bear a load equal
to at least twice the maximum working load of the winch.
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 winch 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 winches or for an incorrect choice
of mounting screws.
DANGER!
Incorrect installation of the winch may cause severe injury or death. Consult the yard that built
the boat in the case of doubt over the correct positioning of the winch.
WARNING!
Failure to use the correct number and type of mounting fasteners or failure to ensure the
correct deck strength can result in the winch 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 be 8° with tolerance of
±2°, to avoid sheet overrides and damaging the winch or making the
winch inoperable leading to loss of control of the boat which can lead to
severe injury or death.
WARNING!
Mount the winch on the deck so that the drive gear is positioned where
the sheet enters the winch drum.
Incorrect position of drive gear can weaken winch leading to failure
which can cause an accident leading to severe injury or death.
Once you have chosen the correct mounting position for the winch on the deck proceed with
installation.
Installation procedure
To install the winch, remove the drum and use Socket Head (SH) bolts or Hexagonal Head (HH)
bolts.
Tools needed One medium at-bladed screwdriver
To identify the various parts, refer to the exploded view at the end of this Manual.

B. Remove the winch and drill the six 9 mm diameter holes.
C. Bolt the base of the winch to the deck using six M8 bolts (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 winch 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
winch pulling off deck suddenly and unexpectedly during high loads causing severe injury or death.
NOTICE
To mount winches on the deck, do not use countersunk bolts.
D. Fill the mounting holes with a suitable marine sealant.
E. Remove the excess adhesive/sealant from the holes and base drainage channels
F. Reassemble the winch following the steps in Installation procedure (page 4) in the reverse
order, and apply the products indicated in the section on maintenance.
NOTICE
Before closing the winch, make sure the holes and drainage channels in the base of the winch
are not obstructed.
Positioning the self-tailing arm
Position the self-tailing arm so that the line leaving the winch is led into the cockpit.
Carry out Installation procedure then install the winch on the deck in the chosen position
A. Position the base of the winch on the deck and mark the position of the holes or use the
drilling cut-out template at the point where you have decided to place the winch.

Maintenance
Washing
Winches must be washed frequently with fresh water, and in any case after each use.
Do not allow teak cleaning products or other cleaners containing caustic solutions to come into
contact with winches and especially anodised, chrome plated or plastic parts.
Do not use solvents, polishes or abrasive pastes on the logos, on the stickers on the winches or on
any anodized, chrome plated and plastic surfaces.
Make sure that the holes and drainage channels in the base of the winch are not obstructed so that
water does not collect.
Maintenance table
Winches 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.
After an inspection, replace worn or damaged components. Do not replace or modify any part of the
winch with a part that is not original.
WARNING!
Periodic maintenance must be carried out regularly. Lack of adequate maintenance shortens the
life of the winch, can cause serious injury and also invalidate the winch warranty. Installation and
maintenance of winches must be carried out exclusively by specialized personnel.
