Spinlock XX Clutch XX0812 Mode D'emploi page 11

XXA0812, XXB0812 and XXC0812 Clutches
1. Align the clutch with the required rope lead, checking height and minimising the angle
of alignment.
2. Drill two holes to suit the M8 fasteners using template (never drill through the clutch). For
spars, etc. where no access is possible, use an M8 tap to thread the surface material, ensuring
the material has sufficient strength to carry the full clutch load. The fasteners
must be replaced with M8 A4-80 stainless socket cap or CSK machine screws for the XXB
and XX0812, or M8 titanium socket cap or CSK machine screws for the XXC0812.
3. Check each fastener (already pre-assembled into clutch) to make certain that its hexagonal head
is properly seated in its locking moulding.
4. Fasten clutch firmly after sealing upper threads with silicone sealant. In through-deck
applications any excess thread can now be ground off.
To access the fasteners or remove jawset :
with 2 x High Tensile A4-80 stainless steel hex head fasteners and the XXC0812 is supplied with 2
x M8 Titanium Hex Head Fasteners.
If you want to fit your own fasteners, you will only need to remove the rear end moulding to gain
access to the aft fixing position.
The forward fastener can be accessed from above (see Diagram 1). The simplest way to remove this
fastener is to remove the nut and washer and turn the product upside down. The M8 fastener can
now be removed.
For Lock Open Versions, ensure the lock open latch is in the down position.
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. (See Diagram 2 and 3).
Hold rear cover at top, pull out from the top (See Diagram 3) pivoting around the top.
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 (See Diagram 3).
The fastener will now be visible. Leave the retaining moulding in place. (See Diagram 3).
