• Keep limbs, fingers, clothing and hair clear of windlass, rode and anchor during operation. Severe bodily harm
could result.
• Ensure there are no swimmers or divers nearby when dropping anchor.
• Windlasses must not be used as the sole means of securing the anchor to the bow fitting especially under
storm conditions. Anchors should be independently secured to prevent accidental release.
• Classification Societies require that a vessel lying at anchor must have its anchor rope/chain secured to a
chain stopper or other suitable independent strong point.
• A windlass should never be used as a mooring bollard, the anchor rode MUST be secured to a mooring cleat,
chain stopper or other designated strong point. Using the windlass to secure the rode will damage the
windlass.
• Do not use windlass for ANY purpose other than deployment and recovery of anchor.
• The circuit breaker in this product must never be deactivated or otherwise bypassed, it is intended to protect
the motor and cables from overheating and damage.
• Always switch off this windlass at the circuit breaker/isolator when not in use.
• It is the unavoidable responsibility of the owner, master or other responsible party to assess the risk of any
operation on the vessel.
• Windlass must not be operated whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

3. Specifications

3.1 Gypsy Specifications

Gypsies fitted to the V700 range of windlasses are ideally suited to handling our factory made Rope/Chain
combination rodes, which consist of rope spliced to a chain tail.
Ropes used must be windlass grade, medium lay nylon. Ropes from different manufacturers have wide variations
in stretch and consistency in diameter. Therefore, rope and chain from other manufacturers may require some
experimentation to determine the optimum size.
Should you have difficulty in matching a gypsy to your chain please consult your local agent or our international
network of distributors.
