Spinlock XTR0812/1 Installation & Use

Powerclutch XTR
Installation and Use
5 year manufacturer's warranty subject to published Spinlock terms and
conditions.
Description
A mid load rope holding clutch, for conventional and low stretch lines of
8-12mm. Product codes denote rope range in mm.
Use
Open the handle fully forward to the thread line through the clutch. With the
handle closed, the clutch will hold the rope automatically as the load is eased
from the winch. (Allow for a forward rope movement of up to 20mm (1") as the
cam engages. Gripping performance on new rope will improve with use.
To Release: XTR clutches have a two stage release action. For the first stage
you feel no load on the handle. The second stage releases the line.
Installation
• Decide the most efficient clutch layout before marking out and drilling 8.5mm
(11/32") holes.
• Install clutch forward of the winch with the handle opening towards the load,
keeping the rope deflection angle as small as possible. In a bank of clutches,
try to ensure that the most heavily loaded lines have the least deflection.
• The angle of the line from the clutch up to the winch drum, should not
exceed 10°. You can reduce this angle by increasing clutch to winch distance or
raising the clutch using a wood or delrin (t.m.) pad.
• Insert correct stainless steel M8 (5/16") cap or hex head fasteners using full
nuts and washers.
• Apply silicone sealant around the thread of the fasteners to ensure a
watertight seal and easy removal.
• Ensure that the clutch is securely fitted to the deck. Do not overtighten the
fixings.
• Extra reinforcement is needed for foam sandwich deck installations:
please consult your local boatyard.
• For side mounting use conversion kit XTR-SMNT.
• Rinse the gripping area of new rope in sea water before use.
Maintenance
Spinlock products are made from the best quality materials for durability and low
maintenance in a harsh marine environment.
• Flush regularly with fresh water.
• Inspect product carefully before each new session.
• Do not use mineral oil or solvent based lubricants like "WD40". The wrong
lubricants will degrade and weaken the moulded composite components and can
cause sudden structural failure. They will also degrade the bearing properties of
composite bushes.
• When removing the cam and handle use text and diagram from 'spares' kit.
