It is very important to choose the correct type of rope and chain, to ensure proper running of the windlasses. Rope- Must use three strand, medium-lay. We recommend Filament Polyester, Premium Nylon or Silver rope(Australia). Do not use soft rope. Soft rope (either polyester or nylon ) will slip and cause a rope jam in the gypsy. It will also lock the gypsy and cause circuit breaker to pop-up often. Chain- Must ensure that the inside length "p1" is suitable for the gypsy. Otherwise, the chain will get stuck(too small) or slip(too big) in the gypsy and eventually damage the release arm. Please refer to the chart below. 4 Note: The rope size indicated is its actual diameter measured IV INSTALLATION 1. TOOLS REQUIRED a. Electric drill b. Adjustable spanner c. Jig saw d. File e. Philips head screwdriver f. Silicon glue 2. PLANE a. First of all, a suitable Bow Roller must be installed to support the anchor, chain and rope. b. A bollard or snubbing device should be installed between the bow roller and windlass to tie the rope on while being anchored or securing the anchor in the fully raised position. 5 c. If you are using only chain, a chain stopper should be installed between the bow roller and the windlass to take the drag force away from the windlass while being anchored. d. Ensure there is a drain in the chain locker and always keep it clear to prevent the water level rising and make sure the chain locker is deep enough to store the rope and chain. If the anchor well is not deep enough the rope and chain will build very quickly and block the entrance. 3. CONSTRUCTION a. Place the windlass on the deck and find a suitable position for it, with reference to the vessel's bow roller, rope and chain locker below. b. Place the mounting template on the deck in the desired position for the windlass and hold it in place using adhesive tape c. Use a 10mm(3/8") diameter drill to make three holes for the mounting thread rods 6 d. With a jig saw, cut the hole for the gear box and rope and chain to pass through. Use a file to smooth any rough edges. To avoid water absorption by the deck, apply paint to the cut hole edges e. Secure thread rod to the base of the windlass, then apply a silicon sealant to the base of the windlass and around the thread rod. Secure the windlass firmly to the deck from below using the nuts and washers supplied f. Mount control device at a suitable position either in the cabin or close to the operating area. g. Connect the windlass, control unit and power source using electric cable indicated below. Keep the power supply cable as short as possible. Too thin and/or too much length of electric cable will reduce the performance of the windlass or cause the circuit breaker to work incorrectly. h. There is one control system that is included in the package, please refer to the connection diagram below. 7 Direct control system: Note: For safety reason, do not connect the power source direct to the battery. Please connect the power cable to the main power switch on your boat. SW-200 with dynamic brake, can not be parallel. Indirect control system: Using foot switches or hand held switch for multiple control, a solenoid K-200 is necessary. If you have an existing control unit (SW-030 or SW-200), you must remove it before installing this indirect control system. Also, do not attach control unit (SW-030 or SW-200) to K-200 as an up/down switch (SW-025). 8 NOTE: The direct control system and indirect control system can not exist concurrently. If the winding direction is not as desired, please change over the wires from the windlass to the solenoid K-200. 4. TO INSTALL ANCHOR ROPE AND CHAIN To splice the rope to the chain, please follow the steps below. 9 Do not use a hook or shackle. STEP 1: Unravel the end of the rope for about 20cm and secure the end of the strands with tape. STEP 2: Pass three strands through the last link of the anchor chain. Untwist the rope to raise a strand just below the tie on the standing part of the rope and insert one strand under it, then pull the strand through. Twist the strand to keep it tightly wound as you pull it through. STEP 3: Take the next strand on the left. Tuck it under the next strand to the right of the one under which the first strand was tucked. Pull it through as before. STEP 4: Now turn the whole eye over. Take the last strand and make the tuck as before under the only strand on the standing part of the rope not used yet. Stop and ensure that each working strand has gone over a strand and under a strand, and that the whole lot is pulled tight and twisted in its natural sense. No two strands 10 should come from under the same strand. STEP 5: For the remained rounds of tucks, take each end over one strand and under the next one to the right, in the same order as before. STEP 6: To finish, pull the ends tight. Cut the excess off with a hot knife. A good way to do this is by heating a butter knife with a butane torch, or a gas stove if handy. This cuts and seals the individual strands resulting in an excellent frayless finish. STEP 7: After you've spliced the rope to the chain, tie both ends of the splice rope to prevent the rope from loosening. V OPERATING 1. During operating, if the circuit breaker bounces it means the motor is overloaded. After about 10 seconds press the button to reset. 2 Pay out the rope and chain approximate 2~3 times the water's depth for a firm casting while being anchored. 11 3. Keep limbs, fingers, clothing and hair clear of the windlass and anchor to avoid possible personal injury during operation. 4. Tie the anchor rope firmly to the bollard when the anchor is cast and the boat is moored. Do not allow the windlass to take the force of a boat's drag. If using all chain, a chain stopper is necessary between the bow roller and windlass to take the force of the boat's drag. 5. When retracting the anchor, untie the rope from the bollard. Then move the boat to the position just above the anchor by boat `s engine power(not windlass power) and switch on the windlass to lift it back. When the anchor is close to the bow roller, slow down the roll in by pausing the switch. 12 NOTE: The windlass is designed to lift the anchor, rather than to drag the boat or for mooring. 6. If the anchor is stuck on the seabed or reef, detach it by the boat's engine power before operating the windlass or else it may cause damage or overstrain the windlass. 7. After use, secure the anchor firmly in place in the boat by extra device(such as hook, shackle...) to avoid damage caused by anchor falling during transport. 8. The anchor windlass is not designed for continuous operation. Do not use for more than 15 minutes at a time under loading. Allow an interval of 20~30minutes after each operation. 9. For windlasses with capstan model only: You may operate gypsy and capstan separately by loosening the 13 nut on the top of the capstan approx. one turn and the windlass drive shaft will drive only the capstan. 10. Emergency manual retrieval: If there is a power failure or unit failure, you can remove the gypsy cover and the torque limiter and attach the handle bar to the gypsy for manual operation. 11. The chain tunnel cover can be opened by lifting it up and turning it sideway.. OPERATING SAFETY IS THE FIRST PRIORITY 14 VI MAINTENANCE 1. The V Series windlasses come with a sealed grease lubricated gear box. There is no need for extra lubrication. 2. In order to allow the windlass to perform at optimum capacity and extend its life, use fresh water to wash off salt water after each use. 3. Always keep the chain locker drain clear to prevent water damage on the motor. VII WARRANTY 1.
