GP2 SERIES GENIUS 1500/2000 - REV000A
WARNING: stay clear of the chains, ropes and gypsy. Make sure the electric motor is off when windlass is used
manually (even when using the handle to disengage the clutch). In fact people with windlass remote controls
(hand-held remote control or radio-controlled systems) might accidentally operate it.
WARNING: secure the chain with a device before starting the navigation.
WARNING: do not operate the windlass by using the electrical power when the handle is inserted in the drum or
into the gypsy cover.
WARNING: Quick
®
recommend using a circuit breaker designed for direct current (DC) with delayed-action
(thermal-magnetic or hydraulic-magnetic) to protect the motor supply line from overheating or short circuits. The
circuit breaker can be used to cut off power to the windlass control circuit and so avoid accidental activation.
CLUTCH USE
MOD. FF (see drawing on page 21)
The clutch F) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (A). The clutch can be released (disengagement) by
using the handle (37) which, when inserted into the gypsy cover (F), must be turned counter-clockwise. The clutch will
be re-engaged by turning it clockwise.
MOD. 1500/2000 (see drawing on page 18-19)
The clutch (34) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (28 or 46). The clutch can be released (disengage-
ment) by using the handle (37) which, when inserted in the bush (49) of the drum or into the gypsy cover (36), must be
turned counter-clockwise. The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise.
WEIGHING THE ANCHOR
Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP button on the control pro-
vided. If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic switch (or thermal cutout) 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. Check the upward movement of the chain for the last few meters in order to avoid
damages to the bow.
CASTING THE ANCHOR
The anchor can be cast by using the electrical control or manually. To operate manually, the clutch must be disengaged
allowing the gypsy to revolve and letting the rope or chain fall into the water. To slow down the chain, the handle must
be turned clockwise. To cast the anchor by using the electrical power, press the DOWN button on the control provided.
In this manner, anchor casting is under control and the chain and rope unwind evenly. In order to avoid any stress on
the windlass -once the boat is anchored- fasten the chain or secure it in place with a rope.
DRUM USE MOD.1500 D / 2000 D
(see drawing on page 18-19)
WARNING: before carrying out warping operations, check that the anchor and relative rope or chain are solidly
fixed to a bitt or another strong point on the boat.
For the independent use of the drum (48) release the clutch with the handle (37), (at least 2 turns of the bush anticlock-
wise). Remove the handle from the bush (49) on the gypsy, wrap the rope around the drum (at least 3 turns). Activate
the windlass control, keeping the rope under tension during take up. By varying the tension during take up it is possible
to modify the rope winding speed.
WARNING: during take up maintain a safe distance between hands and windlass drum.
Once take up is complete, screw up the clutch by tightening the gypsy drum clockwise and secure the rope to a bitt or
other strong point on the boat.
