Harken 1080 MKIII Jib Reefing & Furling - Manual (Page 43)

Assembly
April 2000 Unit 3.25 MKIII 22
Place a drop (about the size of a marble) of polysulfide marine sealant (such as
BoatLIFE's Life Calk) onto the end of the wire. Do not use silicone marine seal-
ant. Apply three drops of red Loctite to the threads and reassemble the
terminal.
After the terminal is assembled, attach the bottom foil to the long bottom con-
nector using red Loctite, a plastic half wedge and screw as described on page 19.
There will be a 3" (76 mm) gap in the foil to mount the feeder.
Attach the feeder as described on page 20.
Norseman and Sta-Lok terminals may be opened for inspection. Always
reassemble with fresh polysulfide marine sealant, red Loctite and a new
“wedge”. Do not reuse the “wedge” after you've sailed with your unit.
■ Rod Terminal Assembly
Make sure halyard swivel and torque tube have been
slipped on the foils.
Slip the rod adapter main body onto the rod. Sandwich
the nosepiece over the rod and insert into the main
body, narrow end first. Jiggle the main body or use a
small screwdriver to push the nosepiece completely into
the main body.
Put several drops of Loctite on the large threads of the
stud. Thread the stud into the main body until the slot
aligns neatly with the hole in the main body.
Tip: Sight through the roll pin hole to find the opti-
mum thread engagement. Make sure the stud is
threaded far enough so the roll pin is securely seated
in the slot yet not threaded so far as to block the roll
pin.
Hammer the roll pin into the main body.
Clean excess Loctite from the terminal body using
special care to insure that no Loctite is present on the
lower threaded stud.
