ZS Alloy Jammers and ZS Carbon Jammers

The jammers are relatively simple to operate, but because of the high loads it is important to fully
understand their function before use.
1. To Open :
Pull handle out until latch clicks. The latch must be fully engaged to hold the jaws
open.
The rope can now be inserted and run freely in either direction. On large diameter ropes it may be
easier to lead the rope through the jammer with the jaws removed. (see maintenance).
2. To lock line :
Hoist sail and tension with winch. Before easing load from the winch, release the
latch in the handle and push the jaws forward onto the rope. Continue to apply firm pressure on the
handle as the load is eased off the winch onto the jammer. Once the jaws are fully engaged onto
the rope, they will slide forward a few millimetres as the full load is secured.
3. To Re-Open :
The full load in the rope must be returned to the winch before the jammer can
be opened. Never attempt to the open jammer without transferring the load back onto the winch.
Only when the load is secured on the winch is it safe to pull the handle back and engage the latch.
The jaws are now fully locked open and the rope can be controlled from the winch to run freely
through the jammer.
Safety Feature :
ZS Jammers can only be released after the rope load has been transferred to
the winch drum.
