Page 3: Safety Warnings
General 1. Winches are potentially dangerous equipment and must be installed correctly. For your safety and the reliability of this product, Savwinch recommends installation by a trained marine mechanic or marine electrician. 2. Periodically (recommended once per year) check the winch installation to ensure that all bolts are tight. - Page 4 2. Disable power from the winch when it is not in use. Note. Savwinch recommends installing a visible or audible alarm to the input side of the solenoid or Electronic Fast Fall System to warn crew when the winch has power applied to it.
- Page 5 Savwinch recommends plow, claw and escape anchor types (all available in a range of sizes, and fabricated in galvanised or stainless steel, or in some cases, aluminium). The pursuit of better holding capacity and ease of retrieval has led to extensive research and development.
- Page 6 Some Savwinch anchors include a sliding escape ring to assist with freeing the anchor from the sea bed if it becomes jammed.
- Page 7 As a safety precaution, Savwinch recommends fitting a marine-grade audible alarm that operates whenever power is applied to the system. This should be wired directly to the 12V input of the solenoid or Savwinch Electronic Fast Fall System. Refer to the schematic on page 10 of this manual.

INSTALLATION TOOLS REQUIRED: 1. Electric drill 2. Center punch 3. Drill bits (8mm for 450, and 880, 10mm for 1000, 1500, and 2000) 4. Metric sockets and wrench 5. Philips head screwdrivers 6. Wire cutters and pliers 7. Terminal crimping tool 8. - Page 11 6. To help the rope to lead onto the drum, a minimum spacing of one meter is recommended between the last roller and the winch. If the winch is being used inside a rope locker, it is recommended to have a Savwinch guide roller or hawsepipe.
- Page 12 Electronic Fast Fall System. Use any form of cable ties, conduit or other method to secure the cable every 10 inches. Then mount the Up/Down switch. 9. Connect the cables to the circuit breaker. Drill its mounting point. Seal the holes to prevent water ingress. Pull the cables through to where the breaker will be terminated on the battery and solenoid or Electronic Fast Fall System.
- Page 13 2. Check carefully that all mechanical and electrical connections are secure and correct. Tighten any loose fittings, bolts, etc. before placing the unit into service. 3. Check that everyone is safely clear of the winch and anchor line. 4. Reapply power to the vessel and activate the winch circuit breaker. Check that the breaker has not tripped and carry out a quick visual inspection to ensure that everything is in order before continuing.

Page 14: Operation
OPERATION Lowering the Anchor To drop the anchor you must go over your mark, press the Down switch until your anchor reaches the sea bed, then put the boat into reverse and idle backward until the anchor digs in. Continue to idle backward away from the grounded anchor while slowly feeding out enough anchor rode. -

11. Periodically check the tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove any dirt or corrosion that may have accumulated on the electrical connections. 12. If the vessel is not being used for long periods of time, Savwinch recommends that you run the winch every three months to keep all moving parts lubricated. - Page 16 Tips for extending the life of your winch Ensure the winch doesn't overheat. During long or heavy pulls, the motor may get hot. At maximum design loads, avoid running for periods exceeding five minutes without a break (this is only if using the maximum anchor size and maximum chain length, see page 6).
