Service Travelers at Regular Intervals
- Service is required after storage, when cars have had too much friction, or if balls seem to be sliding instead of rolling
- Flush with fresh water and detergent, move cars back and forth to circulate the balls, and follow with high-pressure water
- Clean track grooves and then use a single drop of Mclube OneDrop™ Ball Bearing Conditioner in each ball race
- If bearings are damaged use a Traveler Car Rebuild Kit which includes replacement bearings and end caps
In the Box:
- Pair of new end caps
- Screws for the end caps (with blue Loctite)
- (1) Ball loader
- (60) Appropriately sized Torlon ball bearings
- Instructions
Notes:
- Please use the above PDF as a guide in helping to determine which traveler car you have
- There are no numbers on the cars, so the ID will have to be made by looking at the measurement across the top of track and viewing a cross section of the track to make sure it does not have a groove for a bearing retainer
- Once it is established whether or not it is a Non-Captive traveler car then determine which size track by measuring the width across the top of the track:
- 7/8" Track Top Width = Small Boat - Use Kit #HSB501
- 1-1/16" Track Top Width = Midrange - Use Kit #HMR99
- 1-1/4" Track Top Width = Big Boat - Use Kit #HBB197
Note: do not use Harken Equipment for human suspension.
