Manual Override System (MORS) :
(This is optional on the VR/VRC 1000-1200.)
This allows the operator to manually recover the anchor and anchor
rode without the use of the electrics.
For manual operation the ratchet
drive pawl should be engaged which stops the gypsy from running
back wards. Tighten the clutch nut to engage the gypsy by rotating it
clockwise (anti clockwise if left hand winch), then place the handle
into the offset clutch drive Bi-square.
When turning in an anti-clockwise
(clockwise if left hand winch) direction the MOR pawls will engage and
drive the gypsy retrieving the chain, as the handle is moved clockwise
(anti clockwise if left hand winch) the weight will be taken by the
gearbox and ratchet drive pawls.

1. Remove the clutch nut (and the D washer for VR models) with handle supplied
