Maintenance - Spinlock XX Clutch XX0812 Mode D'emploi

XXA0812, XXB0812 and XXC0812 Clutches
General maintenance:
Three Simple Steps – flush, drain and lubricate
1. The internal mechanism should be regularly flushed out with fresh water through the end
bullseyes, and the handle pivot area.
2. Check that the lower 'drainage' holes in both end mouldings are clear of any debris. This will
help reduce the accumulation of any rope debris building up inside the product.
3. Lubricate handle pivot areas with a silicone grease. Unless this simple procedure is carried out
regularly, the specified performance will not be achieved. Take care not to contaminate rollers
or jaw surfaces with any lubricant.
Note :
Any decrease in performance is usually caused by lack of maintenance and servicing. The
XXC0812 and XX0812 relies on the smooth running of 2 sets of roller bearings for maximum
performance. The rollers and their 'running' surfaces must remain as clean as possible.
Removal from deck
If removing the XX0812 from the deck, care must be taken to ensure the fasteners do not damage
the internal mechanism and plastic rear moulding. Do not hammer fasteners from below.

Full servicing and Jaw Replacement:
The clutch should be given a thorough service periodically to ensure maximum performance is
maintained. The clutch mechanism is fully accessible whilst attached to the deck - even with other
clutches banked alongside - by the following steps.
1. Remove the rope from the clutch.
2. For Lock Open Versions, ensure the lock open latch is in the down position.
3. Lift handle and rotate fully open and then back to 90º vertical. Access to the M5 Allen screw
on the top surface that retains the rear moulding. Remove this screw.
4. Hold rear cover at top, pull out from the top (See Diagram 3) pivoting around the top.
5. When the top of the moulding has rotated free of the body, lift the rear moulding to unhook
its base from the body and slide the jawset out. Excessive force is not necessary when
performing removal correctly and may damage irrepairably the jawset if used.
