Troubleshooting
Clutch does not engage or lock onto anchor pin.
Verify that the correct size lifting pin anchor (shaft and head dimensions) is installed and compatible with the clutch. Ensure the anchor is properly recessed and the clutch is fully seated on the anchor head before applying load.
Clutch appears damaged or worn.
Immediately remove the clutch from service. Inspect for cracks, significant deformation, or excessive wear on the locking mechanism or load-bearing surfaces. Replace if any damage is found.
Difficulty attaching or detaching clutch from anchor.
Check for obstructions, dirt, or damage on both the clutch and the anchor pin. Clean both components thoroughly. Ensure the clutch is correctly aligned with the anchor pin.
Yellow coating is chipped or scratched.
Minor cosmetic damage to the coating does not typically affect the structural integrity of the clutch. However, inspect the underlying steel for any signs of corrosion or damage. If the steel appears compromised, discontinue use.
