Maintenance

Warranty

Inspect

Frequently inspect shackles and control block fittings for signs of fatigue. Replace as necessary.  

Make sure every installation includes Harken track endstops. Arrange control tackle so cars do  

not hit endstops under load.

Traveler cars: Clean by frequently flushing with fresh water. Periodically clean  

car by squirting a detergent/water solution into center openings. Roll car back  

and forth to distribute evenly. Flush bearings with fresh water.

Do not use spray lubricants because ball bearings can skid, not roll. Once car and track are dry, apply 
one (1) to two (2) drops of McLube

®

 OneDrop

 ball bearing conditioner to ball contact surfaces of track. 

Roll car back and forth through OneDrop conditioner several times to distribute onto bearings. Wipe 

remaining OneDrop off track. OneDrop conditioner is preferred, but you can also use one (1) to two (2) 

drops of a light machine oil. Too much oil attracts dirt.

 

Track: Clean with detergent and 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.
