Maintenance
Inspect Block and Shackle Before You Sail

replacing shackles, use the correct Harken parts to maintain the proper strength. Replace line as
necessary, taking into consideration the maximum size recommendation.
WARNING! Failure to inspect and replace damaged metal parts and/or worn or frayed line
can cause block or system to break suddenly causing an accident, damage to your vessel,
personal injury or death. See www.harken.com for additional safety information.
