Quick recommend using a circuit breaker designed for direct current (DC) with delayed-action (thermal-mag-

netic or hydraulic-magnetic) to protect the motor supply line from 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 (8 and 10) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (19, 20, 21 or 22). The clutch can be
released (disengagement) by using the handle (1) which, when inserted in the bush (7) of the drum or of the gypsy cover (2),
must be turned counter-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. 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 operate manually, the clutch
must be disengaged allowing the gypsy to revolve and letting the rope or chain fall into the water. To slow down the chain, the
handle must be turned clockwise. To cast the anchor by using the electrical power, press the DOWN button on the control pro-
vided. 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.
MANUAL ANCHOR WEIGHING (no drum version) Disconnect the windlass power supply. Use the lock lever control (32/33) to
engage the lock lever (31) on the gypsy (9). Disengage the clutch (at least 2 turns of the bush anticlockwise), insert the lever (1)
into the seat in the gypsy cover (4) and manually take up the chain by rotating the lever clockwise. After the manual weighing
procedure remove the lever from its seat and insert it into the bush (2) to tighten the clutch.
gypsy cover (4). Release the gypsy (9) using the control lever (32/33). Reconnect the windlass power supply.
MANUAL ANCHOR WEIGHING (drum version) Disconnect the windlass power supply. Use the lock lever control (32/33) to en-
gage the lock lever (31) on the gypsy (9). Use the lever (1) to completely loosen the bush (7) and pull off the drum (6). Insert the
lever (1) into the seat in the anchor weighing (45) and manually take up the chain by rotating the lever clockwise.
After the manual weighing procedure, remove the lever from its seat, reinsert the drum (6) and tighten the bush (7) to tighten
the clutch. Remove the lever (1) from the bush (7). Release the gypsy (9) using the control lever (32/33). Reconnect the
windlass power supply.
DRUM USE
Before carrying out warping operations, check that the anchor and relative rope or chain are solidly fixed to a

bitt or another strong point on the boat.
For the independent use of the drum (6), turn the lock lever control (32/33) to engage the lock lever (31) of the gypsy (9), release
the clutch with the handle (1), (at least 2 turns of the bush anticlockwise). Remove the handle from the bush (7) on the gypsy,
wrap the rope around the drum (at least 3 turns). Activate the windlass control, keeping the rope under tension during take up.
By varying the tension during take up it is possible to modify the rope winding speed.

WARNING:
Once take up is complete, screw up the clutch by tightening the gypsy drum clockwise and secure the rope to a bitt or other
strong point on the boat.
before weighing anchor release the gypsy.
