2. Opsætning og installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your windlass. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified marine technician.
2.1 Monteringssted
- Choose a location on the deck that is structurally sound and can support the forces exerted by the windlass during operation.
- Ensure adequate space for anchor rode (chain/rope) locker below.
- Verify that the hawse pipe aligns correctly with the anchor rode path.
2.2 Electrical Wiring (24V DC)
The windlass requires a dedicated 24V DC power supply. Use appropriately sized marine-grade wiring to prevent voltage drop og overophedning.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the windlass motor to the positive terminal of the 24V battery bank via a suitably rated circuit breaker or fuse.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the windlass motor to the negative bus bar or battery negative.
- Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er rene, tætte og beskyttet mod korrosion.
- Install a control switch (e.g., foot switch or helm switch) according to the wiring diagram provided with the windlass.
Advarsel: Incorrect wiring can lead to severe damage to the windlass, electrical system, or personal injury. Consult a professional if unsure.
3. Betjeningsvejledning
Familiarize yourself with the windlass controls and safety procedures before operating.
3.1 Sikkerhedsforanstaltninger
- Always keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts.
- Do not operate the windlass under excessive load.
- Ensure the anchor rode is clear of obstructions before deployment or retrieval.
- Never use the windlass to pull the boat; it is designed to retrieve the anchor.
- Always secure the anchor with a snubber or chain stopper once deployed and set.
3.2 Deployment (Lowering the Anchor)
- Ensure the vessel is in a safe position for anchoring.
- Release any anchor securing devices (e.g., chain stopper).
- Press and hold the "DOWN" button or foot switch to lower the anchor.
- Monitor the anchor rode as it deploys to ensure it runs freely.
- Once the desired scope is achieved, release the button.
- Secure the anchor rode with a chain stopper or snubber line to take the load off the windlass.
3.3 Retrieval (Raising the Anchor)
- Start the vessel's engine to provide adequate power and assist in moving towards the anchor.
- Remove the chain stopper or snubber line.
- Press and hold the "UP" button or foot switch to retrieve the anchor.
- Move the vessel slowly towards the anchor to reduce the load on the windlass.
- Once the anchor is fully retrieved and secured, ensure the windlass is disengaged or powered off.
4. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance will extend the life and ensure the reliable operation of your windlass.
- Rensning: Rinse the windlass with fresh water after each use, especially in saltwater environments, to remove salt residue.
- Inspektion: Periodically inspect all visible components for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Check electrical connections for tightness and corrosion.
- Smøring: Refer to the specific lubrication points indicated in the windlass's detailed diagram (if provided separately). Generally, moving parts and gearboxes may require periodic lubrication with marine-grade grease or oil.
- Fastgørelsesmidler: Check all mounting bolts and fasteners for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary.
Note: For internal component maintenance or repair, it is recommended to contact a qualified service technician.
