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.

Page 6: Installation
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. The length of some Bow Rollers can be too short. - Page 7 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. Make sure the anchor well or the chain locker is deep enough to store chain and rope.
- Page 8 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 d.
- Page 9 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.
- Page 10 Note: For better performance, we recommend to use “Remote Control Box” instead of “control unit” or ”SW-030” for V1000 series windlass. 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.
- Page 11 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.
- Page 12 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.
- Page 13 depth for a firm casting while being anchored. 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.
- Page 14 switch. 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.

Page 15: Maintenance
★ ★ OPERATING SAFETY IS THE FIRST PRIORITY 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. -
