CONTROL SWITCH OPERATIONS
Three position rocker control switch has UP, DOWN and OFF positions. DOWN powers the anchor down.
The gear motor automatically stops when anchor touches bottom. With the control switch in DOWN position,
electronic anti- drag system lets out necessary slack to prevent anchor drag. The OFF position locks gear
motor and rope. The UP position powers anchor up and retracts anchor into the DeckHand base. Releasing
the control switch automatically switches to OFF and secures anchor and anchor rope.
CIRCUIT BREAKER OPERATION
The power control circuitry and gear motor are protected by a manual resettable circuit breaker. Should
an operational situation occur where a prolonged overload is present the circuit breaker will disconnect the
battery positive supply in approximately ten seconds. The circuit breaker needs to be manually reset by
pushing the small black button on the side. Repeated tripping of the circuit breaker indicates an operational
or equipment fault that requires correction.
OPERATION
WARNING: Keep fingers clear of rope and base when
operating. Do not operate in normal use with cover off.
