4.4 SET UP AND TESTING
Before use the AutoAnchor must be correctly set up for the equipment it is to control and
then tested in a safe environment. For example, the AutoAnchor will not count correctly
if the windlass selection is wrong or the windlass is not standard (eg it is installed with a
different chainwheel or motor).
4.3.1 WHEN CONTROLLING A WINDLASS
• maintain a clear view of the windlass, rode and/or anchor, plus any optional or auxiliary
anchoring equipment during windlass operation;
• always ensure the anchor is fully docked and secured before moving the boat.
4.3.2 WHEN CONTROLLING A THRUSTER
• do not operate close to swimmers, the powerful suction of water could cause serious
injury;
• never run the thruster out of the water, this can cause serious damage to the motor;
• running a thruster without resistance from the propeller can also cause serious damage
to the motor;
• if the thruster stops giving thrust while the motor is running, turn it off immediately.
The AutoAnchor manufacturer and supplier accept no liability for personal injury or property
damage resulting from failure to follow the installation and operating instructions or the use
of the AutoAnchor in a way that may cause accidents or damage or that may violate the law.
