INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Muir Windlass. Muir go to great lengths to develop anchoring systems that not
only meet all your performance and safety requirements, but at the same time are designed with a style
and finish that enhances the aesthetics of your vessel. With Muir’s commitment to quality and the use of
superior materials and processes we know you will be pleased with your investment, and rest assured that
through the correct installation, operation and maintenance your new Muir Windlass will give you years of
reliable performance.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To avoid damage to the gear drive, windlass or vessel when bringing the anchor up hard, it is a preferred
practice to mark the chain at approximately 5-meter intervals from the anchor, to alert the operator to
the anchor position.
Under no circumstances should the windlass be operated if it is stalled or overloaded.
SAFE OPERATION
•
Ensure that hands, feet, hair and clothing are kept clear of the windlass and other loose gear when in
operation.
•
The windlass should never be used for lifting people aloft.
•
Do not use a windlass as a bollard for mooring, towing or being towed.
