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 suit-
®
able 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 (11 and 13) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (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 in the bush (2) of the gypsy cover, 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. 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 weigh-
ing 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 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.
MANUAL ANCHOR WEIGHING (no drum version) Disconnect the windlass power supply. Use the lock lever control (35/36) to engage
the lock lever (34) on the gypsy (12). 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.
(8) using the control lever (35/36). Reconnect the windlass power supply.
MANUAL ANCHOR WEIGHING (drum version) Disconnect the windlass power supply. Use the lock lever control (35/35) to engage
the lock lever (34) on the gypsy (8). Use the lever (1) to completely loosen the bush (7), pull off the drum (6) and mount the manual an-
chor weighing (9) on the gypsy with the corresponding screws. Insert the lever (1) into the seat in the anchor weighing (9) 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 drum (7) to tighten the clutch.
trol lever (35/36). Reconnect the windlass power supply.
DRUM USE
WARNING: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 (35/36) to engage the lock lever (34) of the gypsy (12), 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: during take up maintain a safe distance between hands and windlass drum.
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.
WARNING: before weighing anchor release the gypsy.
Check that the control (35/36) that locks the gypsy is
disengaged.
1) Release the gypsy safety lock (36).
2) Have the gypsy lock control slide toward the stern (35).
3) Automatic inserting of the gypsy lock (34).
