DANGER
PERSONAL SAFETY & PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD!
An unsecured anchor could accidentally release while your yacht is moving, damaging your
yacht and causing serious injury or death.
After retrieving the anchor:
• Secure the anchor with an anchor safety strap, or a chain stopper.
• Switch OFF the windlass circuit breaker to prevent accidental operation.

CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD!
Do NOT rely on the windlass alone to hold your yacht at anchor. After setting the anchor, tie
the rode off to a cleat or equivalent strong point.
Do NOT pull your yacht to the anchor using the windlass, or continue running the windlass if it
has stalled or is overloaded.

Read and follow the manufacturer’s instruction manual before using the anchor windlass for the first time.
The windlass can be controlled from a switch at the helm or from the deck foot switches.
Make sure that the windlass circuit breaker is turned On before using the anchor windlass.
To raise the anchor, use engine power (not the windlass) to move your yacht to, and directly above, the anchor.
Dislodge the anchor from the bottom by pulling it straight up with the windlass.
Before getting underway, make sure the anchor is secured and the windlass circuit breaker is turned Off.
