Hydraulic 5 The Lewmar 3500 hydraulic windlass is designed
Installation to be used with Lewmar Commander power packs or
similar power packs that give the required flow and
pressure. Plan the routing of the hydraulic lines
(including case drain lines) and run them from the
hydraulic supply to the windlass motor (see hose type
recommendations).
6 Connect the hydraulic feed and return lines to the hydraulic
windlass motor, ensuring that the connections are secure
(see motor specifications). Ensure that pipe work is flushed
through to remove any dirt and debris before final connection
to the motor and power pack.
7 Connect the case drain line (see case drain line
specifications). Ensure that it is of adequate size.
8 Find a suitable position for electric safety deck
switch(es), remote control and / or toggle switch in view
of the windlass, anchor line and bow roller. Connect up
the switch wiring to the Commander system (see
Commander manual) or a suitable proprietary system
ensuring that the minimum supply is 3 amps. The
switches require a 12V or 24V DC system depending on
available supply.
9 Check correct operation of the windlass (eg up / down).
If the rotation is incorrect, swap the A + B hoses at the
motor, or swap the switch wiring, or swap the Directional
Control Valve (DCV) caps.
