Before You Fit
- Mount the TSR on a flat surface.
- The deck structure must be sufficient for the 1500kg working load of each sheave and withstand 1500kg of compression from each fixing bolt.
- Minimum sheave spacing is 34mm; it can be increased in 1mm increments. Anything other than 1mm increments makes the upper structure hard to assemble and shortens product life.
- Check the loading effect of the installed deflection angle, taking account of any unequal deflection angles.
- Tensioned line must bear only on a sheave. Double stacked: always use the lower sheaves for the most highly loaded lines.

Loads from the instructions. The TSR20L drill guides give 1750kg longitudinal, 1225kg transverse and combined loads from 1750kg (TSR20L/2) to 11375kg (TSR20L/13); the TSR20 guides give 1500kg / 1050kg. The instructions' load diagram also shows 3000kg and 1250kg at 30° and 60°.
Pre-Assembled TSR
- Work out the best position for the organiser to manage the ropes; mark up the deck from the drawing provided.
- Drill 12.5mm holes perpendicular to the deck.
- Screw the stud into the underside of the axle approximately 12mm and dry fit into the deck.
- Mark each stud leaving 15mm of thread protruding for the ‘top hat’ washer and nut; cut to length if required.
- Thread lock the studs into the axles.
- Apply sealant to each hole, mount axle and studs, fit the ‘top hat’ under-deck washers flat side down and screw on the nuts. Tighten to 17Nm.
- Clean up excess sealant – the stainless-steel axles must be completely clean on deck.
- Check each sheave rotates easily. If not, too much sealant was used: disassemble, clean, reassemble and try again.
Kit TSR
- Sheaves must be in a straight line. Use a sheave to plan the position for each rope and mark it; then mark the final drilling positions at 1mm increments and no less than 34mm apart.
- Drill 12.5mm holes perpendicular to the deck. Disassemble the organiser, noting the assembly.
- Screw each stud into the underside of its axle approximately 12mm; dry fit, mark each stud leaving 15mm of thread for the ‘top hat’ washer and nut, cut if required, then thread lock.
- Apply sealant, mount axles and studs with the ‘top hat’ washers flat side down and fit the nuts – ONLY tighten to 4Nm at this stage. Clean off excess sealant.
- Measure between the centres of the two end sheaves, add 20mm and cut the rails to this length.
- From one end, place the square black alloy plates on the axles. Even spacing (34, 36, 42mm…): orientation marks point the same way (> >). Odd spacing (35, 37, 43mm…): marks point towards or away from each other (< > or > <).
- Seat the rails on the plates with the grooves engaged and flat. Fit the end caps and top caps with the short M8 CSK bolts, check engagement, tighten to 17Nm.
- Starting in the middle, tighten the under-deck nuts to 17Nm. Check all sheaves rotate; if not, look for sealant or incorrect assembly.

Drill Guides
- Four downloads, one per version, each with one page per size from /2 to /13, on A4 at 1:2 (up to /7 or /8) or 1:4 for the longer sizes – not 1:1.
- Each page also gives the maximum sheave loads (longitudinal 0°, transverse 90°, combined) and a max rope tension table by deflection angle for bisected and straight rope entry; the values vary between pages, so read the page for your size.
- Spinlock's warning: if you use a guide as a template, set the printer for the drawing scale and always check the dimensions.
Safety
- Check the product is correctly specified for your application, load and line size, and correctly installed before its first use under load.
- Braided fibre rope only. Never use it if damaged or worn, or with damaged rope.
- Never use cleaning or lubricating solvents, polysulphide or polyurethane based sealants. Do not modify any part.
