7.0 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 disengage the clutch). 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 such as a fuse/thermal-magnetic/ hydraulic-magnetic circuit
breaker 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.
The clutch (
E
) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (
D
).
The clutch can be released (disengagement) by using the handle (
F
) which, when inserted into the gypsy cover (
A
), must
be turned counter-clockwise.
The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise.
