Zs Open Jammers - Spinlock XX Série Mode D'emploi

ZS Open Jammer
The ZS OPEN can be locked onto any loaded line, 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 full engagement of the sideplate latch.
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.
