Installation
• Consider carefully the most suitable location
in relation to the winch and the rope drag line
before marking out and drilling 6,5mm (1/4”)
holes. Foam sandwich deck construction must
be inspected whether it needs to be reinforced
to be suitable for the load.
• Install clutch with the handle towards the
winch, 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 etc.
• Multi clutches, try to ensure that the most
heavily loaded ropes have the best collinear
line.
• Insert correct stainless steel M6 (5/16")
countersunk screw, nuts and washers.
• Apply silicone sealant to ensure a watertight
seal and easy removal.
• Ensure that the clutch is securely fitted to the
deck.
• For better performance on new ropes, rinse
the rope in sea water before use.
Use
To lead the rope through the clutch, open the
handle to horizontal. With the handle closed,
the clutch will hold the rope automatically as
the load is eased for the winch. Before rope
release, the rope should be wrapped to the
winch, then fully open the handle and the rope
is free to move in either direction.
Maintenance
EASYLOCK products are made from the best
quality materials for durability and low
maintenance in marine environment.
• Flush regularly with fresh water.
• Inspect product carefully before each new
session.
• Do not use mineral oil or solvent based
lubricants. The wrong lubricants will degrade
and weaken the molded composite
components, causing serious malfunction.
Safety
Please take care to follow these important
safety rules:
• Check that the clutch is correctly specified
for your application
• Check carefully that it is correctly installed
before using it for the time under load.
• Safely release the rope by controlling it on a
winch drum.
• Never open the handle when clutch is
heavily loaded as sudden release may cause
injury, and can damage rope, rig or clutch.
• Use braided rope only (never use three
strand or wire rope).
• Never use the clutch with damaged rope.
• Do not modify any part of the clutch.
• Always use hand protection.
