pushing the button DOWN placed on the remote control or foot switch. You will always have a perfect control of the manoeuvre , which can
be interrupted any moment releasing the button DOWN .
•
Plastimo 42981-42982 : Push the button DOWN placed on the remote control or foot switch for few seconds until the gipsy may freely run on
its shaft and release the chain into the water. Do not push the button UP while the chain goes quickly down into the water.
Once anchored , we suggest to reduce the windlass load , to use a chain stopper and fix the chain with a rope to a strong point as a cleat.
MAINTENANCE
GB
Turn the windlass off at the main switch and remove with attention the chain from the gipsy before maintanance. A correct and periodic maintenance
operation is essential for the best efficiency of your windlass. Remove the salt layer at least once every month, formed periodically on the outer casting , to
avoid electrolysis problems which could prejudice the windlass performances. Wash with fresh water and clean all the surfaces, particularly in the most
hidden points. We recommend, at least once every six months , to disassemble the windlass gipsy following the instructions below.
Plastimo 42979-42980 : Using the handle unscrew (B) then unscrew (G1) , remove (G2 , G3) and (G4) and extract (C1) or (C2).
Plastimo 42981-42981 : Unscrew (L1) then using the handle unscrew (B) then unscrew (G1, G5) , remove (G2 ,G3,G6) and (G4) and extract (C1) or (C2).
Clean and check all the parts , spray them all with Plastimo Sea 77 spray marine grease. Check if there are no electrolysis traces and grease the main
shaft thread. After a long inactivity period , the electric motor could run slowly. We recommend to check and clear the brushes and replace them if
necessary.
We strongly recommend to separate , at least once every year , the windlass from the deck and to clean and remove the salt layer under the base. The
gearbox is proper filled with SAE 90 long life oil. If there is a leak of oil from the body , it will be necessary to disassemble and replace the seals. At the
beginning and at the end of the season , check the motor and Control box covering the terminals with grease .
