• This product is not designed as a strong point to fasten your anchor rode. Fast the anchor rode to a strong point such as mooring cleat or similar.

• The vessel’s engine should always be running and used to assist in the recovery of the ground tackle.

• Always install the properly rated circuit breaker to protect the electric circuit and the motor from overheating and damage.

• Always turn off the main switch when the windlass is not in use to prevent accidental engagement.

• Always keep hands and feet clear of an operating windlass.If a jam occurs turn the windlass off at the main switch before clearing the anchor rode.

• Do not use the windlass for different purposes it was designed for.

WINDLASS WIRING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Below there are the requirements for all the components of the windlass electric plant depending from the motor nominal power . 1000 W 12V 1000 W 24V A-Battery capacity 200 Ah 100 Ah B-Power cables size 50 mm² - 1 AWG 35 mm² - 2 AWG C-Lofrans Circuit breaker (slow time/current curve) 100 A 70 A Fuse 5 A 5 A Control wires size 1,5 mm² - 14 AWG 1,5 mm² - 14 AWG Notes A. Battery of lower capacity decrease the windlass performances and are rapidly subjected to wear and tear. B. This size must be increased when the length of the positive plus the negative cables are more than 25 mts. Use marine grade tinned copper wire. C. The Lofrans circuit breaker protects the power line from short circuit and the windlass motor in case of overheating. It must be kept dry and installed in accessible place to be prompty reactivated when it trips. It can be also used to isolate the windlass from the remote controls as we strongly suggest to avoid accidental engagement. All the switches must be wired in parallel.We strongly recommend to have a minimum of two switches to operate the windlass in case one of them gets damage. All Lofrans equipment is CE approved.

INSTALLATION GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Proper installation of the windlass is critical and these essential conditions listed below need be fully satisfied : Fig.1 The gipsy of the windlass must be in line with the bow roller. Fig.2 The deck must be flat. The structure of the boat must be adeguate to the load that the windlass is able to pull. If necessary reinforce the deck with a backing pad to spread the stress. Fig.3 When determining the position of the windlass , it is critical to locate it directly above the deepest area of the chain locker. As the chain falls into the chain locker , it must be maximized because when the chain is stored. The chain tends to gather in the shape of a pyramid , which reduce the available space. If the chain pyramid falls , then overlaps may occur, resulting in jams. The deeper the locker , the less likely this will occur. You must have a minimum of A=12” between the underside of the deck and the top of the heaped chain. The chain locker shape is really important to limit the pyramid problem. The chain coming from the bow roller can be inclinated up to 5 degrees. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Fig.4 Carefully position the template provided to the deck . Mark and drill the holes as indicated (see Fig.A). The forward , leading edge of the chain hole should be dressed with a 45° degree angle. A drum rasp or Dremil Tool™ will be helpful. Sand smooth all edges and seal (see Fig.B). Cleand the deck area and position the deck gasket supplied. Fig.5 Loosen the 4 hex nuts (227) to separate the topworks from the gearbox and motor. Position the topworks the deck aligning the gasket properly. The gearbox flange provides keyhole assistance. Screw 2 washer,lock washer and nuts to the end of two opposing mounting studs (see Fig.C). Fig.6 Join the gearbox to the windlass topworks by inserting the key (284) of the main shaft into the key way of the gearbox. Align the motor away from the chain pipe and rotate the gearbox to allow the 2 nuts to assist in supporting the weight of the lower unit (motor and gearbox). See Fig.D. Fig.7 Fasten a washer ,lock washer and hex nut to the remaining deck studs. Tighten all hardware properly. Connect the cables from the battery to the electric motor as shown in the electric diagram. TEST PROCEDURE ATTENTION ! DO NOT OPERATE THE WINDLASS WITHOUT THE ROPE-CHAIN INTO THE GIPSY TO AVOID TO DAMAGE THE PART 905 (FINGER) Fig.8 Introduce the rope-chain into the gipsy . Please take care to keep hands and feet away of the incoming rope-chain. Fig.9 Turn on the remote control. Operate the UP switch. The chain will be recovered. Release the UP switch.Operate the DOWN switch. The chain will be released. If the windlass runs in wrong direction change over the UP and DOWN wires at the control box. Fig.10 After using the windlass , we strongly recommend that the nuts are checked again to ensure they are well tightened.

The basic operations you need to know are lowering and raising the anchor by electric motor. This product is cone clutch-equipped which allows to you to lower the anchor without using the electric motor. Lofrans strongly recommend to use the chain stopper in conjiunction with this windlass. The chain stopper is a device which is normally installed on the boat and will keep your chain in place on deck. It must be used to secure the anchor after anchoring. OPERATION FIRST ... THEN ...

To disengage the clutch insert the handle (272) into the star-shaped slot on the gipsy cap (918) and loosen it. To engage the clutch again tight the gipsy can until you cannot move the handle any more. Anchor and /or chain provide resistance during the tightening.

To disengage the clutch insert the handle (272) supplied into the clutch nut (912) and loosen it. To engage the clutch tighten it until you cannot move the handle any more.

• Check if the Clutch is engaged

Simple push the button DOWN. You will have always a perfect control of the operation , which can be interrupted any moment by releasing the button DOWN .

If you have all chain , reduce the windlass load by engaging the chain stopper. If using a combination of rope and chain , fix the rope to a strong point such as a cleat.

• Check if the Clutch is engaged

Start the engine of the boat. Push the button UP while with the boat at minimum speed going towards the anchoring point. Do not use the windlass to pull the boat to the anchor. Release the button UP to stop the operation. Pay attention to the speed of the anchor , which may damage the bow of your boat. In the event that the anchor becomes stranded and the Lofrans circuit breaker trips , wait several minutes before re-setting and try once more. Should the circuit breaker trip again , we suggest to fix the rope or chain to a cleats and then use the boat engine to break the anchor loose.

Windlass must not be used as the sole means of securing the anchor to the bow fitting. Anchors should be independently secured to prevent accidental release. Use a chain stopper or a lanyard to do that.

• Turn Off the Circuit breaker Disengage the clutch. As the chain falls , it can be controlled by the clutch handle . At the end of the operation engage the clutch.

Disengage the clutch. Turn clockwise around the drum with 2-3 laps of rope. Keep the end of rope. Push the button UP , recovering the rope at the same time.

Insert the handle into the star-shaped slot (912 or 918) and turn it clockwise to exceed the gearbox spring strength (924). The stress will be hard in case of deep anchoring.

MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Below are indicated the operations and the period we consider essential to got the best efficiency and performance of your anchor windlass. A. Clean all the outer surfaces and the hidden points with fresh water and remove the salt layer. B. Grease the outer rotation parts . Particularly the main shaft thread and the clutch cones. Check for evidences of corrosion and stress. C. Check the terminals of the electric motor. Test the drop of voltage at the terminals. D. Replace of the all outer seals. The geabox is proper filled with SAE 90 long life oil. E. Remove the windlass from the deck to clean the salt under the base plate.
