WARNING !
your windlass is not designed as a strong point to fasten your anchor rode (chain or rope) to when the boat is laying on it’s anchor and surging. The
anchor rode must be fastened to a strong point such as mooring cleat, bollard or chain storage.
WARNING !
do not exceed a pulling load more than the rating of your windlass. The vessel’s engine be running and used to assist in the anchor recovery.
WARNING !
always install the properly rated circuit breaker to protect the electric plant and electric motor from overheating and damages.
WARNING !
when not in use be sure to keep the anchor windlass circuit switch in the
Off
position to prevent accidental engagement of the windlass.
WARNING !
always keep your hands, feet and fingers clear of an operating windlass. If a jam occurs use extreme caution and turn off the windlass circuit before
attending to clearing the anchor rode.
WARNING !
do not use the windlass for different purposes it was designed for.

If the windlass is fed by an inferior battery , the performances will be worse and the battery will be subject rapidly to wear and tear. We recommend to use
excellent quality cables , insulated and heat resistant. It is important underline the cables section should be increased of 30% - 50% approx., if the length of the
extended cable , positive and negative , is greater than 10 mts. or 29' length. The cables connected to the electric controls , shown on the wiring diagram as a
thin line , should have a section of 1.5 mm_ or 16 AWG approx.
Circuit breaker informations referring only to LOFRANS’ circuit breaker so they could be incorrect for other circuit breakers.
The circuit breaker protects from very dangerous short circuits , protects the windlass motor , avoiding damages due to anomalous absorption and interrupts the
tension , when desired. The circuit breaker must be installed in a dry , accessible and visible position . For safety reasons we recommend that the windlass and
remote controls are isolated during navigation and reactivated when anchoring. Install the control box preferably in a dry place on board. We recommend to
install at least two remote controls to drive the windlass in case one of them gets damaged.
For protection of electric remote controls, it will be necessary to install a circuit breaker of 5 Ampere.
We recommend You to use original LOFRANS' components only , which are designed for sea water purpose. LOFRANS equipment conforms
to European Directives, products are CE approved.
