T H E W O R L D P O W E R I N A N C H O R I N G S Y S T E M S
Manual Operating System (MOS): allows for manual operation featuring a special
handle that fits to the top of the gypsy after the capstan or clutch top has been
removed. (
This is optional on the VR/VRC 850-1250 / 1000-1200 / 2200 / 2500-4000.)
Manual Override System (MORS) :
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.
(This is
optional on the VR/VRC 1000-1200-2500-3500-4000.)
