Usage - Warning - Quick EAGLE E 712 D Manual Del Usuario

WARNING: stay clear of the chains and gypsy. Make sure the electric motor is off when windlass is used
manually (even when using the handle for disengaging the clutch). In fact people with a remote controls
(remote control or control system via radio) might accidentally operate the windlass.
WARNING: secure the chain with a device before starting the navigation.
WARNING: do not operate the windlass by using the electrical power when the handle is inserted in the
drum or into the gypsy cover.
WARNING: Quick
tion (thermal-magnetic or hydraulic-magnetic) to protect the motor supply line from overheating or short
circuits. The circuit breaker can be used to cut off power to the windlass control circuit and so avoid ac-
cidental activation.
CLUTCH USE
The clutch (5) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (15). The clutch can be released (disengage-
ment) by using the handle (1) which, when inserted in the gypsy cover (2), must be turned counter-clockwise.
The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise (engagement).
WEIGHING THE ANCHOR
Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP button on the control
provided. If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic switch (or thermal cutout) has not tripped, wait a few
seconds and try again (avoid keeping the button pressed). If the hydraulic magnetic switch, has tripped, reset it
and wait a few minutes before weighing anchor once again. If, after a number of attempts, the windlass is still
blocked, we suggest to move the boat to release the anchor. Check the upward movement of the chain for the
last few meters in order to avoid damages to the bow.
CASTING THE ANCHOR
The anchor can be cast by using the electrical control or manually. To operate manually, the clutch must be dis-
engaged allowing the gypsy to revolve and letting the rope or chain fall into the water. To slow down the chain,
the handle must be turned clockwise. To cast the anchor by using the electrical power, press the DOWN button
on the control provided. In this manner, anchor casting is under control and the chain unwind evenly. In order to
avoid any stress on the windlass -once the boat is anchored- fasten the chain or secure it in place with a rope.
DRUM USE
WARNING: Before carrying out warping operations, check that the anchor and relative chain are solidly
fixed to a bitt or another strong point on the boat.
For the independent use of the drum (17) release the clutch with the handle (1), (at least 2 turns of the gypsy
cover anticlockwise). Remove the handle from the gypsy cover (2), wrap the rope around the drum (at least 3
turns).
WARNING: during take up maintain a safe distance between hands and windlass drum.
Once take up is complete, screw up the clutch by tightening the gypsy cover clockwise and secure the rope to a
bitt or other strong point on the boat.
