Quick
®
windlasses are designed and manufactured to weigh the anchor.
• Do not use these products for any other type of operation.
• Quick
®
shall not be held liable for direct or indirect damage caused by improper use of the product.
• The windlass is not designed to support loads generated in particular weather conditions (storm).
• Weighing the anchor: switch on the boat's engine.
• Operate the product from a position where it is possible to supervise the work area.
• Always deactivate the windlass when not being used.
• Make sure that there are no bathers nearby before dropping the anchor.
• The splice between the rope and the chain must be tightly woven for the rope to slide easily into the gypsy shape.
For any problem or request, feel free to contact Quick® Technical Service.
• For improved safety, we recommend installing at least two controls to operate the windlass in case one is damaged.
• We recommend the use of Quick
®
switch as motor safety device.
• Secure the chain with a retainer before sailing off.
• The reversing contactor box must be installed in a position protected from any water entry.
•
After completing the anchorage, secure the chain to fixed points such as chain stopper or bollard.
• To prevent accidental releases, the anchor must be secured. The windlass must not be used as sole securing device.
•
Isolate the windlass from the electrical system during navigation and secure the rope to a fixed point of the boat.
• This equipment is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
