Istruzioni per l'uso

The Lewmar Pro-Series Windlass is operated via a guarded rocker switch, allowing for simple push-button control of anchor deployment and retrieval. Always ensure the anchor rode (chain or rope) is properly spooled and free of tangles before operation.

Distribuzione dell'ancora

1. Position your vessel appropriately for anchoring.
2. Press and hold the "DOWN" button on the rocker switch to deploy the anchor.
3. Monitor the anchor rode to ensure smooth deployment. Avoid holding the "DOWN" button for extended periods (e.g., more than 5 seconds) if the clutch mechanism is engaged, as this may cause wear.
4. Once the desired amount of rode is deployed and the anchor is set, release the button.

Anchor Retrieval

1. Maneuver your vessel slowly towards the anchor to reduce tension on the rode.
2. Press and hold the "UP" button on the rocker switch to retrieve the anchor.
3. Guide the rode as it comes in, ensuring it spools correctly into the locker.
4. Once the anchor is fully retrieved and secured, release the button.

Manual Emergency System

In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the windlass is equipped with a manual emergency recovery system. Consult the detailed installation manual for instructions on how to manually retrieve or deploy the anchor using the provided Lewmar wrench.

Manutenzione

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Lewmar Pro-Series Windlass. While the unit is made from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, proper care will prevent issues and ensure reliable operation.

• Pulizia regolare: Rinse the windlass with fresh water after each use, especially in saltwater environments, to remove salt residue and debris.
• Ispezione visiva: Periodically inspect the windlass for any signs of wear, corrosion, loose fasteners, or damage to the electrical connections and cables.
• Integrità della sigillatura: Ensure that all seals and gaskets are intact and properly seated to prevent water ingress into the motor and gear components. Consider applying a marine-grade sealant around mating surfaces during installation or reassembly.
• Annual Disassembly and Lubrication: For optimal performance and to prevent internal corrosion, it is recommended to annually disassemble the windlass, inspect internal components for wear or water ingress, clean, and re-lubricate moving parts according to the official Lewmar maintenance guide.
• Rode Inspection: Regularly check your anchor chain and rope for wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure the chain size and type (5/16" G4 chain, 9/16" or 5/8" 3-strand, or 5/8" 8-plait rope) are compatible with the windlass gypsy.

For detailed maintenance procedures, always refer to the official Lewmar installation and maintenance manual provided with your windlass.
