CAUTIONIf you wish to use the anchors, remove the safety locks.
The anchor winches, located at bow, can be operated with the remote controls located in the bow peak. In the main helm station there is a button activating for washing the anchor and the relevant chains.
CAUTIONIf you wish to use the anchors, remove the safety locks.
CAUTIONDo not bring body parts or objects near the area where the chain, the line and the wildcat run. Make sure the electric motor is not supplied when acting manually on the anchor winch (also when you use the lever to loosen the clutch): people having the remote controls of the anchor winches (remote button boards) might accidentally activate them.
CAUTIONLock the chains with its safety retainer, before setting up for navigation.
CAUTIONDo not operate the anchor winch electrically with the lever in the drum housing or in the wildcat cover.
We remind you that the anchor winch system has no safety end stroke controls, therefore it is advisable to manoeuvre “manually” the last chain metres, by means of the remote control buttons, in proximity of the roller or when you reckon to ease away almost the whole chain.
Both winches are equipped with remote control.
To avoid overheating of the anchor winch, it is advisable to help recovering the chain, by moving slowly the yacht toward the chain, without approaching it too closely, so as not to damage the hull.
If the chain has been weighed, after an anchoring on muddy or sea weedy bottom, we suggest washing it, by means of washing system on the anchor roller; supplied by the wash/fire-fighting pump.
