Spinlock ZS Jammers are made from the highest quality materials for durability and low maintenance
in a harsh marine environment.
ZS Jammers are carefully designed for easy and regular servicing at sea. Their life and performance will
be improved if regularly flushed with fresh water.
The jaws can be easily removed for inspection and replacement:
For ZS Alloy and ZS Carbon
• Remove the screw securing the rear block.
• Remove rear block.
• Pull out the handle and jaw assembly.
For ZS OPEN
• Open the sideplate to allow removal of the jaw assembly, remove jaw engagement spring -
compress jaws together and extract sideways.
ZS Alloy, ZS Carbon and ZS Bonded
All
• Check for excessive wear on the grip surface - the black anodised surface, if worn, will have
silver aluminium showing through.
• Check condition of the white bearings surfaces are clean and smooth. Replace if necessary.
• Ensure all internal faces are clean and smooth.
• Ensure the load and rope type are considered when selecting new jaw set types (see page 16).
The white jaw bearings should be lubricated only with silicone grease.
Do not use mineral oil or solvent based lubricants like WD40.
Replacement jaw sets must be installed with grease provided.
