In the lower portion, just above the reef tack fittings, provide 1 to 1 1/2 m (3' to 5') gaps in the sleeve for access to the trip line.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Locking car will not release - Make sure: 1. Trip line is eased. Make sure it is not caught on anything. 2. Halyard is tensioned to counter the weight of the sail. If the tip line does not have tension and pawls will not release, remove four screws securing trigger body to the car. - Page 12 Main Office and Harken Brandstore: Västmannagatan 81B SE-113 26 Stockholm Sweden Telephone: (46) 0303 61875 • Fax: (46) 0303 61876 Mailing address: Harken Sweden AB, Box 64, SE -440 30 Marstrand Web: harken.se • Email: harken@harken.se Harken UK, Ltd.
