Work Area - Harken MKIII 00AL Manuel D'installation

Preassembly
Adhesive Alert: Foil assembly requires red Loctite adhesive. Loctite cures properly in temperatures above 60°
(15° C). Surfaces must also be dry. If you assemble your unit at lower temperatures, use a heat gun like a hair dryer
or hand held butane or propane torch to gently warm the parts for about 5 minutes after assembly. Loctite primer is
available for lower temperatures, ask your local Loctite dealer or Harken.
Red Loctite only cures when no oxygen is present. Excess adhesive on the surface of the foils will remain sticky
and will not cure. This does not mean that the adhesive inside the joint has not cured.

Screwdriver - Flat blade
Tape Measure
Plastic tape - not needed with Norseman or
Sta-Lok units.
Electric Drill with 15/64 (6 mm) bit
required for some installations, see
page 11.

■ Work Area

Select a flat work area longer than the headstay and free from gravel, dirt or sand. Generally, the best work area is the
dock next to the boat. Your furling system is designed to be assembled on the ground and must not be assembled
with the headstay in a vertical position.
■ Norseman, Sta-Lok or Rod Headstay Installations
The assembly instructions show assembly of a swaged wire headstay. Norseman, Sta-Lok and rod headstay installa-
tions differ slightly in a few areas. Differences are noted at the bottom of each page in shaded boxes.
