Zs Open Jammers - Spinlock XX Clutch XX0812 Mode D'emploi

ZS Open Jammer
The ZS OPEN can be locked onto any loaded line to give the perfect solution for peeling spinnakers,
headsails, reefing and dealing with an emergency.
1. Secure strop to padeye or winchbase of sufficient strength and aligned as close to the line of
load as possible.
2. Open the sideplate and engage the ZS OPEN onto the line. Then close ensuring the sideplate
latch is securely closed.
3. Slide jammer along the line so the strop is tight (this reduces runout) and engage jaws, by
releasing the jaw latch.
4. Carefully release the original loaded line from winch so the strop and ZS OPEN jammer
take the load.
Releasing the ZS Open Jammer
The ZS Open Jammer is released by holding the handle and sliding the body forward, not pulling the
handle back. Ensure there is enough slack in the strop to allow disengagement of the Jaws.
Important Notes
Ensure prior to transferring a load that the:
• Coverplate is fully engaged onto the main body
• Latches are locked into the location pins
This ensures that the burst loads are shared by both side plates. Failure to do this will cause the
body to permanently deform and the cover plate will no longer fit. If the unit should be overloaded
the white PTFE bearing will show signs of deforming at its contact with the upper and lower faces
of the body.
