Instructions for using the windlass
With the anchor well positioned on the roller and the chain in the right position in its guide,
you can drop the anchor either manually or by the windlass.
To drop the anchor manually you need to :
•
check that the WINDLASS magneto-thermal switch in the 12 Vdc electrical
panel is turned off;
•
insert the suitable lever in the gypsy cover bush. Then, slightly rotating the lever
counterclockwise, you will release the gypsy clutch allowing it to freely turn and
the anchor to drop. By rotating the lever clockwise you will re-engage the gypsy
clutch, slowing down or stopping the anchor drop.
•
We recommend you to well engage the gypsy clutch, once finished the
operation.
To drop the anchor by the windlass you need to :
•
turn on the WINDLASS switch in the 12 Vdc electrical panel, which supplies all
windlass equipment;
•
start the windlass by the push-button panel, after connecting it to the outlet in the
anchor peak, or by the control in the cockpit.
To weigh anchor you need to :
•
turn on the WINDLASS switch in the 12 Vdc electrical panel;
•
start the windlass by the push-button panel, after connecting it to the outlet in the
anchor peak, or by the control in the cockpit.
Warning and caution
•
We remind you that, in case the windlass does not work, first of all you have to check
that the relevant magneto-thermal switch in the 12 Vdc electrical panel has not gone
automatically off. If you turn it on again and it goes off once more, check the cause
and find a solution before turning it on once again.
•
If the batteries are not completely efficient and you consequently have difficulties in
weighing the anchor, it is advisable to carry out this operation with the engine slightly
working. This will attenuate the violent current absorption caused by the windlass
functioning.
•
While using the windlass, always keep your body and especially you feet on the
deck and never lean on the windlass support surface or inside the peak.
