HECTOR 1700/2300W - REV003A
WARNING: before wiring up, be sure the electrical cables are not live.
BEFORE USING THE WINDLASS READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST “QUICK
® ” DEALER.
WARNING:
the Quick
®
windlasses are designed to weigh the anchor.
Do not use the equipment for other purposes. Quick ® shall not be held responsible for damage to equipment
and/or personal injury, caused by a faulty use of the equipment. The windlass is not designed for the loads that
might occur in extreme weather conditions (storms). Always deactivate the windlass when not in use.
Check that there are no swimmers nearby before dropping anchor. For improved safety we recommend install-
ing at least two anchor windlass controls in case one is accidentally damaged. We recommend the use of the
Quick ® hydraulic-magnetic switch as the motor safety switch. Secure the chain with a further device before starting
the navigation. After completing the anchorage, secure the chain or rope to fi xed points such as chain stopper or bol-
lard. To prevent accidental releases, the anchor must be secured. The windlass shall not be used as the only securing
device. Isolate the windlass from the power system during navigation (switch the circuit breaker off) and lock the
chain securing it to a fi xed point of the boat.
THE PACKAGE CONTAINS: windlass - handle - bolts and screws (for assembly) - drill template - user’s manual - conditions of
warranty.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION: drill and drill bits: Ø 14 mm (9/16"); hollow mill Ø 43 mm (1"11/16) and Ø 73 mm
(2"7/8); hexagonal wrench: 19 mm.
“QUICK ® ”ACCESSORIES RECOMMENDED: anchoring RL control board (mod. 800) - Waterproof hand helds R/C (mod. HRC1002)
- Foot switch (mod. 900) - Hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker - Anchor chain counter (mod. CHC1102M and CHC1202M) - Radio
control (mod. R02, PO2, H02).
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
the windlass must be positioned with the gypsy aligned with the bow roller. Ensure
that the upper and lower surfaces of the deck are as parallel as possible. If this is not the case, compensate the difference
appropriately (a lack of parallelism could result in a loss of motor power). The deck thickness must be included among the fi gures
listed in the table. In cases of other thicknesses it is necessary to consult a Quick
® retailer. There must be no obstacles under
deck to the passage of cables, rope and chain; lack of depth of the peak could cause jamming.
FITTING PROCEDURE:
When the ideal position has been established, drill four holes using the drilling template provided.
Remove excess material from the chain passage, refi ne and fl atten with a specialized product (marine paint, gel coat or two
pack epoxy) to assure free passage for both rope and chain. Screw the stud bolts, using the short threaded end, onto the base.
Apply a medium grade locking product onto the thread. Position the windlass lowering it from above deck. Fix the windlass by
screwing the nuts onto the fi xing studs. For an improved watertight seal it is advisable to apply silicone around the entire outside
edge of the base. Connect the supply cables from the windlass to the battery.
