6-9. Maintenance, Lifespan, Storage, Warranty
6. Maintenance
Do not disassemble the WingMan. If soiled or exposed to saltwater, rinse in clean warm
water (maximum temperature of 25°C) with non detergent at appropriate dilution (Ph
range 5.5-8.5), and thoroughly rinse. When the equipment becomes wet, either from
being in use or due to cleaning, it should be allowed to dry naturally, and should be kept
away from direct heat. Light surface corrosion may be removed with a wire brush (no
power tools). Retire if corrosion is heavy.
Do not use lubrication of any kind on the pulleys or releasing handle. Flush and dry as
stated above. Dry away from solvents and corrosive materials. Do not store at extreme
temperatures or with direct exposure to UV. Important: do not put in bag or sealed
container until dry.
7. Lifespan
Do not remove or change rope. Certification is based upon using supplied rope.
All testing for certification was conducted using kernmantle rope with the same
specifications. Using any other rope makes the WingMan non-compliant and
may prevent proper locking and release of the WingMan. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any other rope in the system.
Send the WingMan to a Harken service center for rope replacement and general inspection
every five years. If the WingMan has been stored in direct sunlight so that fading of the
rope is evident, return to Harken immediately. If the rope does not pass inspection stop
using immediately and send to Harken service center for rope replacement.
8. Packaging, Storage, Transportation
Avoid packaging, storing or transporting of the WingMan where it is exposed
to these conditions:
•
UV rays
•
Excessive heat
•
Saltwater
•
Chemicals including solvents, grease, oil, or corrosive materials
Send the WingMan to a Harken service center sooner if the system is stored in direct
sunlight for long periods and the rope shows fading.
9. Warranty
Harken guarantees this product for three years against any defects in materials or
manufacture. The guarantee does not cover this product from normal wear and tear,
oxidation, modification or alteration, incorrect use or storage, poor maintenance,
