WARNING
WARNING:
when windlass is used manually (even when using the handle for disengaging the clutch). In
fact people with a remote control (remote control or control system via radio) might acciden-
tally 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 in-
serted in the drum or into the gypsy cover.
CLUTCH USE
The clutch (29) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (22 or 23). The clutch can be re-
leased (disengagement) by using the handle (35) which, when inserted in the drum or in the gypsy
cover (34 or 32), must be turned counter-clockwise. The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it
clockwise.
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 ma-
gnetic switch, has tripped, reset it and wait a few minutes before weighing anchor once again. If, af-
ter 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 disengaged 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 and rope 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.
stay clear of the chains, ropes and gypsy. Make sure the electric motor is off
