User Notes
Concept hatches are restricted to 85 degree opening and should not be forced beyond their
"stop" position, as damage to the linkage mechanism may occur.
Do not attempt to force the hatch closed or open when levers are locked as damage to the
linkage mechanism will occur.
If the hatch is accidentally closed with the levers in the closed position, the shear pin between the
small straight lever and the moulding will fail. The hatch can still be opened and closed but no
positioning is possible. Remove the broken parts and replace to rectify.
To adjust the lid opening position, support the lid whilst moving the locking levers to the unlocked
position. Position the lid, ensuring that the mechanism is correctly aligned when re-locking the
levers. This can be readily felt by moving the lid slightly.
Locking levers should remain in the unlocked position when the hatch is closed to prevent
accidental damage when opening.
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.
Do not lock the levers in the ventilation position.
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 the corners of
the trim. Ensure that the elasticated bead is correctly located into the frame lip.
No adjustment to the hinge mechanism should be necessary during normal usage, however, if
the operation of the locking levers becomes excessively stiff, the centre screw may be adjusted
taking care to remove all free play.
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 linkage and lid pinch
zones while operating and adjusting the hatch.
