ROPE CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RCMS) ADJUSTMENT
Firm tension of the finger is required to reduce rope (nylon line) slipping through gypsy. To adjust this tension (if
your line is slipping) refer to the two diagrams and procedure below.
PROCEDURE:
Tools Required: Allen keys and a large flat screwdriver.
1. Undo the Thumb Screw and Socket Head Screw with an Allen
key to remove the chain cover.
2. Loosen the grub screw on the side of base with an Allen key
for finger adjustment.
3. Turn screwdriver clockwise to tension the spring, while holding
the tension re-tighten grub screw.
4. Re attach the chain cover to finish the adjustment.
Rope/Chain Splice.
1. To stop rope unravelling, seize rope 400mm(16") from end with
whipping twine. Unlay strands.
2. After placing 20mm (3/4") of heat shrink sleeve tubing through the
last link of chain, pass one strand of rope through sleeve and chain
from one side and the other two strands of rope from the opposite
side. (See illustration).
3. While pulling all three strands tight, shrink the sleeve tightly onto the
rope using a hairdryer / fan heater or by immersing in boiling water.
4. Remove seizing and complete back splice in normal manner for two
full tucks. With a hot knife pare down the three strands by 113 and
insert two further tucks. Pare down by another1/3 and finish with two
tucks. Cut any remaining tails.
Line Care
Using the wrong type of line may cause the line to jam causing excessive line wear. Muir Windlasses are
designed to run on 3-strand nylon line (supplied by Muir) which has been specially treated with fabric softener to
prevent it from hardening. It is recommended to soak your rope in fresh water containing fabric softener every 3
months.
In case of a rope jam, slacken off the windlass clutch to free the jammed line. When retrieving the anchor rode
do not continue to run the windlass if the anchor or chain is jammed, as line slippage in the gypsy will cause
damage to the line.
