  • Page 5: Installation

    INSTALLATION TOOLS REQUIRED Drill Adjust spanner Jig saw File 2. PLANE a. First of all, a suitable bow roller must be installed to support the anchor, chain and rope. A bollard or snubbing device should be installed between the bow roller and windlass to tie the rope on while anchored or securing the anchor in the fully-raised position.
  • Page 6 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.
  • Page 7 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.
  • Page 8 If the winding direction is not as desired, please change over the wires from the windlass to the solenoid K-200. 4. ANCHOR ROPE AND CHAIN To splice the rope to the chain, please follow the steps below. Do not use a hook or shackle.
  • Page 9 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 10 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 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.

  • Page 12: Voperation

    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.
