WARNING: before any warping operation, ensure that the anchor and its rope or chain are securely fastened to a
bollard or other strong point on the boat.
WARNING: during recovery, keep a suitable safety distance between your hands and the windlass drum.
Min. 3 turns
Min. 2 turns
6.3 - Troubleshooting
If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic (or thermal magnetic) switch has not tripped, wait a few seconds and try again
(avoid keeping the button pressed). *ref. page 10
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.
1. For independent use of the drum, operate the brake to lock the gypsy. Use the lever to open the clutch (at least two bush
revolutions counter-clockwise) (g.1).
2. Remove the lever from the bush, wind the rope over the drum counter-clockwise (at least 3 turns) (g.2).
3. Activate the windlass DOWN control by keeping the rope under tension during the recovery. By varying this tension during
recovery, it is possible to change the winding speed of the rope (g.3).

FIG.2 FIG.3
At the end of the recovery procedure, engage the clutch by tightening the gypsy bush clockwise and secure the
rope to a bollard or other strong point on the boat.
