PLASTIMO equipment complies with the European Directives, products are CE approved.
INSTALLATION GB
Ensure there are no deck obstructions. Be sure that there is enough space to use the handle. In
order to facilitate maintenance operations, Plastimo suggests to install the windlass on a
removable panel fixed on the deck by bolts.
Deck thickness should be 30 mm minimum. If the deck is too thin or inadequate , it will be
necessary to use a backing pad (plywood , timber ) of a sufficient size to spread the stress
imposed during recovery of chain. To avoid electrolysis problems, do not use a stainless
steel pad as backing pad.
300 mm
When the position of the windlass has been set , drill the necessary holes , using the template
we supply. Place the gasket supplied under the base of the windlass. Place the windlass on the
deck. The windlass must be located so that the gipsy is in line with the bow roller .The chain must
turn around the gipsy with a rotation of 90° approx. Fix the windlass using 3xM10 stainless steel
hex head bolts. Ensure that the chain locker is of sufficient capacity to store all the chain and leave
a minimum of 300 mm between the underside of the deck and the top of the heaped chain. Join
the cables to the battery as shown on the wiring diagram. Introduce the rope/chain into the gipsy ,
operate the UP switch of the foot switch or remote control and the chain will automatically be fed
into your locker. Take care to keep hands and feet away from the incoming chain. If the windlass
runs in the wrong direction , change over M1 and M2 cables at the control box.
After using the windlass, we strongly recommend that the nuts are checked again to ensure they
are well tightened.
OPERATION
WARNING ! = Do not approach with hands or feet near the gipsy and chain , when operating.
WARNING ! = When the windlass is not in use or before using the handle , turn off the windlass at the main switch .
WARNING ! = Engage the chain stopper after anchoring. Windlass must not be used as sole means securing anchor in bow fitting. Anchors
should be independently secured to prevent accidental release .
Gipsy Clutch Operation – Plastimo 42979-42980
To engage the clutch, insert the handle supplied into the gipsy cap (B) tighten it by turning counter clockwise until you cannot move the handle any more. To
uncouple the clutch, loose the gipsy cap by turning clockwise.
Raising The Anchor
Start the engine of the boat.
•
Plastimo 42979-42980 : Be sure that the clutch is well engaged. Draw out the handle from the gipsy cap. Push the button UP of the foot switch
or remote control.
• Plastimo 42981-42982 : Push the button DOWN of the foot switch or remote control.
Do not use the windlass to pull the boat to the anchor. Release the button UP to stop the anchoring. When you haul the last metres of the chain , pay
attention to the anchor, which may damage the bow of your boat. If case the anchor gets stranded and the circuit breaker gets released , wait some
minutes before putting it back into service and try the manoeuvre once more. Should the circuit breaker stop again , we suggest to fix the chain to a cleat or
bollard , then use the boat engine to break the anchor loose. For your safety, we strongly recommend to turn OFF the circuit breaker and engage the
chain stopper during navigation. Reactivate the circuit breaker and uncouple the chain stopper before anchoring.
Lowering The Anchor
• Plastimo 42979-42980 : To lower the anchor quickly, it is necessary to uncouple the clutch. The chain fall can be controlled by tightening the
gipsy cap with the handle . At the end of the operation ,engage the clutch. Under usual conditions , we suggest to lower the anchor electrically ,
