Windlass
The following instructions do not replace the information provided in the enclosed Owner’s
Manual supplied by the Manufacturer.
The Grand Soleil 40 is predisposed to mount a 1000watt electrical windlass.
It can be used also manually through a winch handle.
The windlass’s chain lifter is located in an appropriate place in the anchor peak, while its
motor is in separate waterproof place.
The room containing the windlass’ motor is reachable through the bow cabin taking off the
port obtained in the abow bulkhead. In the same room there are also the electrical
connection’s box of the windlass system.
Attention:
The upward and downward motion is controlled by a remote-control push-
button panel, plugged into a watertight socket in the anchor forepeak.
An additional control switch can be mounted above the engine panel in cockpit.
Instruction
•
Check if the chain is positioned in the sliding guide in front of anchor winch.
•
Insert the magneto-thermal to the item WINDLASS to the 12 Vdc control panel.
This switch supplies the windlass motor and all the equipment (described in the following
paragraph) through an appropriate fusible behind the 12 Vdc control
•
To start the windlass activate the front remote control or the control switch in the cockpit.
Caution
•
Do not forget that, in case of bad working, first of all verify that the magneto thermal
on the 12 Vdc control panel is not disconnected.
If so, and to avoid that it will happen again before reconnecting it, verify the reason of
the trouble and find a solution.
•
In case the push-button panel should be disconnected, after having verified the magneto
thermal, check the condition of the fusible of the teleruptors, behind the control panel.
