Problem Possible causes Solution
2. The chain jams
frequently
2.1 The chain locker is not deep
enough with respect to the
quantity of chain chosen
2.2 The chain is not suitable for the
gipsy
2.3 The chain is not calibrated
2.1 Position the anchor windlass in the deepest point of the
chain locker or reduce the quantity of chain
2.2 Change the gipsy
2.3 Check the chain: if it does not meet the tolerances, it must
be replaced
3. The winch runs
slowly and at times
jumps the circuit
breaker.
3.1 Section of cables not suitable.
3.2 Poor electrical connections.
3.3 Dirty brushes.
3.4 Water leaks in the electrical
engine.
3.5 There is no parallelism between
upper deck and below deck.
3.6 The gearbox has lost oil.
3.7 The engine strains in one or both
directions.
3.8 The winch works only in one
direction.
3.1 Increase the cable section
3.2 Check out the connections
3.3 Clean the brushes
3.4 Replace the electrical engine
3.5 Work surfaces and/or add shims to restore parallelism.
3.6 (SERVICE) Uninstall the gearbox and check out its condi-
tion. Replace damaged parts after discovering the causes of
the leak. Also, replace gaskets and screws. Check out also
the engine condition, which may have been damaged during
the malfunction.
3.7 (SERVICE) Check out appropriately all connections of the
power cables. If they are alright, uninstall the engine (in
some cases it is convenient to disassemble also the gear-
box). Check out and possibly replace the brushes.
3.8 Check out on the control box that between B2-C and B3-C
contacts there are 12/24V when the espective buttons are
pressed. If this should happen and one of the relays does
not work, replace the control box.
4. The electric engine
runs but the shaft
does not rotate
either Up or Down
4.1 Heavy wear or breakage of teeth
of the crown / worm screw.
4.2 Breakage of the engine spindle.
4.1 (SERVICE) Uninstall the winch and replace the broken
parts. Check out carefully that pieces or splinters of broken
parts did not enter into the oil circuit and have ruined other
mechanical parts. (*)
4.2 (SERVICE) Replacing of the engine. Care must be taken
that the broken part did not remain in the hole of the worm
screw. (*)
(*) Take advantage of this opportunity to replace any other worn
parts, especially gaskets, screws, tabs, seeger, and oil.
5. The electric engine
runs, the shaft
rotates Up, but does
not rotate Down
5.1 The chain locker is tangled;
5.2 The chain is of poor quality with
burrs and zinc deposits that do not
allow the free ow of the links;
5.3 The chain was placed in the locker
in block and the links are stuck
with each other;
5.1 Check out that immediately after the anchor there is a joint
that allows the chain to unfold properly when weighed.
5.2 Remove the chain from the locker and inspect it link by link.
Intervene with the appropriate tools to make it as loose as
possible and free of obstructions.
5.3 Lower manually all the chain in a sea bed deep enough to
enable it to unfold properly. Retrieve it with the winch.
6. The winch cannot be
weighed: the electric
engine runs, the
shaft runs, but the
gypsy is still
6.1 The gypsy is not closed on the
clutch cones and slips under the
load effect, or for some reason
the closing wheel is at end stroke.
Check out all pieces in sequence.
6.2 The clutch cones or the gypsy
ones are deformed and the clutch
hubs are in contact and prevent
closure.
6.1 Check out clutch tightening. If necessary, measure the
parts and check out possible deformations. It is possible to
add some thickness to stem the problem. Then replace the
damaged parts.
6.2 Replace the clutch and/or the gypsy
