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 ® recommend using a circuit breaker designed for direct current (DC) with delayed-action (thermal-magnetic 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 (4 and 7) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (13 or 15). The clutch can be released (disen-
gagement) by using the handle (1) which, when inserted in the bush (2) of the drum or of the gypsy cover, must be turned counter-clock-
wise. The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise (engagement).
WEIGHING THE ANCHOR
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
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
engage the lock lever (27) on the gypsy (6). Disengage the clutch (at least 2 turns of the bush anticlockwise), insert the lever (1) into the
seat in the gypsy cover (3) 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.
Remove the lever (1) from the gypsy cover (3). Release the gypsy (6) using the control lever (26). Reconnect the windlass power supply.
MANUAL ANCHOR WEIGHING
the lock lever (27) on the gypsy (6). Use the lever (1) to disengage the clutch (at least 2 turns of the bush anticlockwise), insert the lever
(1) into its seat in the drum (5) and manually take up the chain by rotating the lever clockwise, pushing on the lever until it goes down
into its seat. After the manual weighing procedure, remove the lever from its seat and insert it into the bush (2) to tighten the clutch.
Remove the lever (1) from the drum (5). Release the gypsy (6) using the control lever (26). Reconnect the windlass power supply.
DRUM USE
WARNING: Before carrying out warping operations, check that the anchor and relative rope or chain are solidly fi xed to a bitt or
another strong point on the boat.
For the independent use of the drum (5), turn the lock lever control (26) to engage the lock lever (27) of the gypsy (6), release the clutch
with the handle (1), (at least 2 turns of the bush anticlockwise). Remove the handle from the bush (2) 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 (26) that locks the gypsy is
disengaged.
