If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic (or thermal magnetic*) switch has not tripped, wait a few seconds and try
again (avoid keeping the button pressed).
If the hydraulic magnetic switch, has tripped, reset it and wait a few minutes before weighing anchor once again.
If, after a number of attempts, the windlass is still blocked, we suggest to move the boat to release the anchor.
WARNING:
make sure the electrical power to the motor is switched off when working manually on the windlass.
Carefully remove the chain from the gypsy or the rope from the drum.

windlasses are made of materials resistant to the marine environment: it is essential, in any case, to periodically
remove salt deposits that form on the external surfaces to avoid corrosion and consequently damage to the device.
Thoroughly wash the surfaces and parts where salt can deposit with fresh water.
Once a year, disassemble the gypsy and the drum according to the following sequence:
Drum version
• Use the handle (1) to loosen the bush (7); pull off the drum (6)
• Remove the top clutch cone (11)
• Undo the retaining screws (10) to remove the chain stripper (14)
• Remove the gypsy (12)
• Remove the bottom clutch cone (13)
No-drum version
• Use the handle
(1) to loosen the clutch bush (2), screw (5), gypsy cover (4)
• Remove the top clutch cone (11)
• Undo the retaining screws (10) to remove the chain stripper (14)
• Remove the gypsy (12)
• Remove the bottom clutch cone (13)
Clean all the parts removed to avoid corrosion, and grease (with marine grease) the shaft thread and the gypsy where the
clutch cones rest.
Remove any oxide deposits from the terminals of the electric motor and the reversing contactor unit; grease them.
