WARNING:
stay clear of the chains, ropes and gypsy. 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.
WARNING:
secure the chain with a device before starting the navigation.
WARNING:
do not operate the windlass by using the electrical power when the handle is inserted in the drum or into
the gypsy cover.
WARNING:
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.
CLUTCH USE
The clutch (49 and 41) provides a link between the gypsy (45) and the main shaft (10 or 11). The clutch can be released (disen-
gagement) by using the handle (64) which, when inserted in the bush (54 vers. BX) or in the bush (22 vers. BD), must be turned
counter-clockwise. The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise (engagement).
Before weighing or casting the anchor, ensure that the band brake (59) is free and the gypsy lock screw (2) is completely
screwed.
WEIGHING THE ANCHOR
Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP button
on the control provided. If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic switch (or thermal cutout) has not tripped, wait a few
seconds and try again (avoid keeping the button pressed). If the hydraulic magnetic switch, has tripped, reset it and wait a few
minutes before weighing anchor once again. If, after a number of attempts, the windlass is still blocked, we suggest to move the
boat to release the anchor. Check the upward movement of the chain for the last few meters in order to avoid damages to the
bow.
CASTING THE ANCHOR
The anchor can be cast by using the electrical control or manually.
To cast the anchor by using the electrical power, press the DOWN button on the control provided. In this manner, anchor casting
is under control and the chain and rope unwind evenly.
To manually cast the anchor do as follows:
• Screw the band brake knob (61) to unlock the gypsy.
• Unlock the clutch by unscrewing the clutch bush (54 or 22) with the relevant handle (64).
• By slowly unscrewing the knob (61), the chain is lowered, by screwing the knob (61) back on the chain stops.
WARNING:
during this operation keep clear of the chain.
• Lock the clutch by screwing the bush (54 or 22) back on by means of the relevant handle.
To prevent any stress on the windlass, once anchored, lock the chain either by securing it to a fixed point or by means of a chain
stopper. Loosen the knob (61) again before operating the windlass electrically.
DRUM USE
WARNING:
before carrying out warping operations, check that the anchors and relative chains are solidly fixed to a bitt
or another strong point on the boat.
For the independent use of the drum (20), release the clutch with the handle (64) by turning anti-clockwise the bush of the gypsy
cover (54 on BX version) or the bush of the drum (22 on BD version) for at least 3 turns. Screw the knob (61) to lock the gypsy.
Remove the handle (64), wrap the rope around the drum (at least 3 turns). Activate the windlass, keeping the rope under tension
during take up. By varying the tension during the take up, the rope winding speed can be modified.
In case of double-gypsy version, unscrew both clutch bushes before winding operations and screw up both band brakes by
means of their knobs (61).
WARNING:
during take up maintain a safe distance between hands and windlass drum.
Once take up is complete, tighten the clutch by turning the bush/bushes clockwise and secure the rope to a bitt or other strong
point of the boat.
