6.0 warning
Stay clear of the chains, ropes and gypsy.
Do not power the windlass from places where it can’t be seen operating..
Make sure the electric motor is off when windlass is used manually (even when using the handle to lift the drum). In
fact people with windlass remote controls (hand-held remote control or radio-controlled systems) might accidentally
operate it.
Secure the rope with a device before starting the navigation.
DO NOT operate the windlass by using the electrical power when the handle is inserted in the drum or
into the gypsy cover.
Quick® suggests the use of a protection of suitable power according to the motor chosen, in order to protect it from
any overheating or short circuits.
The circuit breaker can be used to cut off power to the windlass control circuit and so avoid accidental
activation.

6.1 Usage
POWER TRANSMISSION
The main axis is linked to the reduction unit and the drum. The
gypsy is pulled by the drum via front couplings found on the gypsy.
When the drum (9) is up (Fig. A) and the bush (3) is fully unscrewed,
the gypsy (14) is free.
When the drum (9) is down (Fig. B) and the bush (3) is fully screwed,
the gypsy (14) is linked to the axis by means of the drum and the
anchor can be weighed.
GYPSY CONNECTION
1)
Turn and screw bush (3) clockwise by means of lever (1); the
drum (9) goes down and so the gypsy (14) is coupled.
Make sure that the references (im. Rif.A1) on the drum and
the gypsy are aligned.
The bush should not be too tight; in this way it will let the drum
turn on the gypsy and engage the front couplings by means of
the springs (8).
2)
Turn and unscrew the bush by a ¼ of a turn anti-clockwise,
using lever (1).
3)
Remove the lever.
4)
Start the motor. The springs (8) in the bush will cause the front
couplings between the drum and the gypsy to engage.
5)
A thorough visual inspection will confirm whether the coupling
is successful or not (Fig. B). Turn and screw the bush clockwise.
6)
Remove the lever.
7)
Slacken the belt brake (25) should you need to use the windlass.
ANCHOR WEIGHING USING MOTOR
1)
Make sure that the drum is coupled to the gypsy (Fig. B).
2)
Operate the Quick
®
controls to weigh or drop the anchor.
Do not strain the limit switch.
