Weighing The Anchor - Quick DP3 PRINCE Série Manuel De L'utilisateur

WARNING
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 (6 and 8) provides a link between the gypsy (7) and the main shaft (16 or 18). The clutch can be released (disengage-
ment) by using the handle (1) which, when inserted in the bush (3) of the drum or into the gypsy cover (5), must be turned coun-
ter-clockwise. The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise (engagement).

WEIGHING THE ANCHOR

Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle (1).
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 up-
ward 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 operate manually, the clutch (6 and 8) must be disengaged
allowing the gypsy (7) to revolve and letting the rope or chain fall into the water.
To slow down the chain, the handle (1) must be turned clockwise.
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.
In order to avoid any stress on the windlass -once the boat is anchored- fasten the chain or secure it in place with a rope.
