User Notes
Concept circular hatches are restricted to 85 degree opening and should not be forced beyond their "stop" position, as damage to the lever mechanism may occur.
The ventilation position is used by closing the handles into the rebate in the lower frame. Care should be taken not to stand on or load the hatch lid in this position, as damage could occur to the handle or window assembly.
The hatch must always be closed when the boat is in motion to prevent accidental damage.
Where used, the flyscreen is fitted by using the sewn on tabs to stretch it across to the poppers on the trim frame. Ensure that the elasticated bead is correctly located into the frame lip.
Always wash the hatch with soap, water and a soft cloth.
Never use abrasive or solvent cleaners on the acrylic lid, as this may at a later date damage the acrylic.
To avoid risk of injury care should be taken to keep hands and limbs clear of lever and lid pinch zones while operating and adjusting the hatch.
Friction lever adjustment
The friction lever units installed on Concept Circular hatches are
Adjustment is made by means of the socket head screws on either side of the lever assembly.
Using a 4mm (5/32") hexagon key, turn the adjusting screw approximately 1/8th of a turn in a clockwise direction to increase the positioning force. This is most easily carried out in the fully open or closed positions.
Do not over tighten the adjusting screws
Open the hatch and check for correct operation.
Lubricants should not be used on the friction lever assemblies as this will adversely affect the function of the units.
