6.0 - Important cautions
DO NOT
place any part of your body or objects near the chain and gypsy sliding area.
Operate the windlass from a position where it is possible to supervise the work area.
Make sure the electric motor is not powered when the windlass is operated manually (also when using the lever
to lift the drum). In fact, people with windlass remote control (remote push-button panel or radio control) may
accidentally activate it.
Secure the chain with a retainer before sailing off.
DO NOT
electrically activate the windlass with the lever inserted in the drum or gypsy cover.
Quick
®
recommends using a suitable power fuse/thermal-magnetic/hydraulic-magnetic protection depending on
the motor used, to protect the motor from overheating or short circuit.
The circuit breaker can be used to isolate the windlass control circuit, thus avoiding accidental activation.
6.1 Use
POWER TRANSMISSION
The central axis is connected to the reduction gear and the drum.
The gypsy is dragged by the drum through front couplings on the
gypsy.
When the drum (9) is up (Fig. A) and the bushing (3) is fully
unscrewed, the gypsy (14) is free.
When the drum (9) is down (Fig. B) and the bushing (3) is fully
screwed, the gypsy (14) is connected to the axis through the drum
and it is possible to weigh the anchor.
GYPSY COUPLING
1)
Use the lever (1) to screw the bushing 3) clockwise; the drum
(9) lowers and engages the gypsy (14).
Make sure that the notches (image ref.A1) on the drum and
the gypsy are aligned
.
The bushing must not be too tight, in this way the drum can
rotate on the gypsy and engage the front couplings through the
springs (8).
2)
Use the lever (1) to unscrew the bushing by rotating it counter-
clockwise by 1/4 of a turn.
3)
Remove the lever.
4)
Operate the motor. The springs (8) in the bushing allow to
engage the front couplings between drum and gypsy.
5)
Visually check that the coupling has been carried out (Fig. B)
and screw the bushing clockwise.
6)
Remove the lever.
7)
Release the band brake (25) if the windlass must be used.
ANCHOR WEIGHING WITH MOTOR
1)
Make sure that the drum is coupled to the gypsy (Fig. B).
2)
Use Quick
®
controls to weigh or release the anchor.
