Note: The windlass is designed to lift the anchor rather than to
drag the boat or for mooring.
7.
If the anchor is stuck on the seabed or reef, detach it by the
boat’s engine power before operating the windlass or else it
may cause damage or the load may overstrain the windlass.
After use, secure the anchor firmly in place
in the boat by
extra device(such as hook, shackle…) to avoid damage
caused by anchor falling during transport.
8.
The anchor windlass is not designed for continuous
operation. Do not use for more than 20 minutes at a time
under loading. Allow an interval of 20 – 30 minutes after
each operation.
