General procedure for use of Side-Power windlasses
Read the operating manual carefully before installing and using the windlass.
Please note that strong forces are involved, so please use the windlass carefully and make sure, for example, that:
• Keep your distance to the windlass, the rope, anchor and anchor brackets during operation
• Keep the rope/chain under observation during anchor handling.
• Make sure anyone using the windlass knows how to operate it.
• Be aware when the anchor are raised as it can bring unwanted debris up from the bottom, potentially damaging your
boat.
• If the windlass is straining as the anchor are raised, stop for a few seconds and let the boat pic up momentum before
continuing the raise.
