is inserted in the drum or into the gypsy cover.
CLUTCH USE
The clutch (34 or F) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (28, 46 or A). The
clutch can be released (disengagement) by using the handle (37) which, when inserted in
the drum or in the gypsy cover (50, 36 or F), must be turned counter-clockwise. The clutch
will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise.
WEIGHING THE ANCHOR
Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP but-
ton on the control provided. If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic switch (or ther-
mal 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 provided. In this manner, an-
chor casting is under control and the chain 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.
DRUM USE
WARNING:
rope or chain are solidly fixed to a bitt or another strong point on the boat.
For the independent use of the drum (49) release the clutch with the handle (37), (at least 2
turns of the bush anticlockwise). Remove the handle from the bush, 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.
stay clear of the chains, ropes and gypsy. Make sure the power supply to
secure the chain with a device before starting the vessel operation.
do not operate the windlass by using the electrical power when the handle
before carrying out warping operations, check that the anchor and relative
during take up maintain a safe distance between hands and windlass drum.
