BEFORE USING THE WINDLASS READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST “QUICK® ” DEALER.
WARNING: the Quick ® windlasses are designed to weigh the anchor. Do not use the equipment for other purposes. Quick ® shall not be held responsible for damage to equipment and/or personal injury, caused by a faulty use of the equipment. The windlass is not designed for the loads that might occur in extreme weather conditions (storms). WEIGHING THE ANCHOR Turn on the engine. Always deactivate the windlass when not in use. Check that there are no swimmers nearby before dropping anchor. The splice between the rope and the chain must be tightly woven for the rope to slide easily into the gypsy shape. For any problem or request, feel free to contact Quick ® Technical Service. For improved safety we recommend installing at least two anchor windlass controls in case one is accidentally damaged. We recommend the use of the Quick ® hydraulic-magnetic switch as the motor safety switch. Secure the chain with a further device before starting the navigation. The contactor unit or reversing contactor unit must be installed in a point protected from accidental water contact. After completing the anchorage, secure the chain or rope to fixed points such as chain stop- per or bollard. To prevent accidental releases, the anchor must be secured. The windlass shall not be used as the only secu- ring device. Isolate the windlass from the power system during navigation (switch the circuit breaker off) and lock the chain securing it to a fixed point of the boat.
THE PACKAGE CONTAINS: windlass – reversing contactor unit – base gasket – drill template – handle – bolts and screws (for assembly) – user’s manual – conditions of warranty.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION: drill and drill bits: Ø 9 mm (23/64″) and Ø 11 mm (7/16”) – Ø 40 (1” 9/16) hollow mill; hexagonal wrenche: 13 mm.
“QUICK® ”ACCESSORIES RECOMMENDED: anchoring RL control board (mod. 800) – Waterproof hand helds R/C (mod. HRC 1002) – Foot switch (mod. 900) – Hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker – Anchor chain counter (mod. CHC 1102M and CHC1202M) – Radio control RRC (mod. R02, P02, H02).
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS: the windlass must be positioned with the gypsy aligned with the bow roller. Ensure that the upper and lower surfaces of the deck are as parallel as possible. If this is not the case, compensate the difference appropriately (a lack of parallelism could result in a loss of motor power). The deck thickness must be included among the figures listed in the table. In cases of other thicknesses it is necessary to consult a Quick ® retailer. There must be no obstacles under deck to the passage of cables, rope and chain; lack of depth of the peak could cause jamming.
FITTING PROCEDURE: when the ideal position has been established, drill four holes using the drilling template provided.Remove excess material from the chain through hole, ensuring the free passage of the chain or rope. Position the windlass lowering it from above deck and inserting the gasket between the deck and the base. Screw the stud bolts, using the short threaded end, onto the base. Apply a medium grade locking product onto the thread. Fix the windlass by screwing the nuts onto the fixing studs. Connect the supply cables from the windlass to the reversing contactor unit.
WARNING: before wiring up, be sure the electrical cables are not live.
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
WARNING: stay clear of the chains, ropes and gypsy. Make sure the electric motor is off when windlass is used manually (even when using the handle to disengage the clutch). In fact people with windlass remote controls (hand-held remote control or radio-controlled systems) might accidentally operate it.
WARNING: secure the chain with a device before starting the navigation.
WARNING: do not operate the windlass by using the electrical power when the handle is inserted in the drum or into the gypsy cover.
WARNING: Quick® recommend using a circuit breaker designed for direct current (DC) with delayed-action (thermal-magnetic or hydraulic-magnetic) to protect the motor supply line from overheating or short circuits. The circuit breaker can be used to cut off power to the windlass control circuit and so avoid accidental activation.
CLUTCH USE
MOD. FF (see drawing on page 21)
The clutch (N) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (A). The clutch can be released (disengagement) by using the handle (1) which, when inserted into the gypsy cover (N), must be turned counter-clockwise. The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise.
MOD. 500/1200 (see drawings on pages 22 and 24)
The clutch (3) provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft (mod.500 = 19 – mod.1200 = 21 or 23). The clutch can be released (disengagement) by using the handle (1) which, when inserted in the bush (8) of the drum or into the gypsy cover (2), must be turned counter-clockwise. The clutch will be re-engaged by turning it clockwise.
WEIGHING THE ANCHOR
Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP button on the control provided. If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic switch (or thermal cutout) has not tripped, wait a few seconds and try again (avoid keeping the button pressed). 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. Check the upward movement of the chain for the last few meters in order to avoid damages to the bow.
CASTING THE ANCHOR
The anchor can be cast by using the electrical control or manually. To operate manually, the clutch must be disengaged allowing the gypsy to revolve and letting the rope or chain fall into the water. To slow down the chain, the handle must be turned clockwise. To cast the anchor by using the electrical power, press the DOWN button on the control provided. In this manner, anchor casting is under control and the chain and rope unwind evenly. In order to avoid any stress on the windlass -once the boat is anchored- fasten the chain or secure it in place with a rope.
DRUM USE MOD. 1200 D (see drawing on page 24)
WARNING: before carrying out warping operations, check that the anchor and relative rope or chain are solidly fixed to a bitt or another strong point on the boat.
For the independent use of the drum (9) release the clutch with the handle (1), (at least 2 turns of the bush anticlockwise). Remove the handle from the bush (8) on the gypsy, wrap the rope around the drum (at least 3 turns). Activate the windlass control, keeping the rope under tension during take up. By varying the tension during take up it is possible to modify the rope winding speed.
WARNING: during take up maintain a safe distance between hands and windlass drum.
Once take up is complete, screw up the clutch by tightening the drum bush clockwise and secure the rope to a bitt or other strong point on the boat.
