Introduction
Compliance with recommendations that follow hereafter, will
result in al longer life and better performance of the electric
anchor windlass.
- Ensure a proper battery voltage.
- Limit the voltage drop through battery cables by applica-
tion of sufficient sized wires.
- Regularly carry out the indicated maintenance checks.
- Only apply a chain, the type and dimensions of which, are
specifically suited for the gipsy.
The Napoleon anchor windlass is available as a model either
with or without a drum.
The model with drum is shown in the figures.
Emergency operating
If the chain has been run out and it is not possible to operate the
built-in relay or this is faulty, the anchor can still be lifted using
the anchor windlass motor if an extra switch is connected.
This switch must be suitable for the maximum current used by
the anchor windlass motor and be connected as shown in the
diagram on page 26.

Operation
Letting go of the chain manually
Disengage the chain from the chainstopper (K).
Turn the clutch nut (C) to the left by means of the lever;
the chain will now start running out.
At this moment the cone-coupling in the gipsy simultaneously
functions as a brake; by turning the clutch-nut to the right the
speed of the run out of the chain wil diminish.
Engage the clutch-nut (C) by turning it to the right if there is
enough chain to let go of.
Engage the chain on the chainstopper (K).
Never lie the ship at anchor with only the chain engaged
in the gipsy.
Letting go of the chain by means of the electric
motor
Disengage the chain from the chainstopper (K).
Make sure that the clutch-nut (C) is engaged by turning it to the
right. Remove the handle (H).
To let go of the chain the electric motor must be set in oper-
ation by means of a foot switch or by means of a manually
controlled switch.
Pay attention to the fact that the drum will rotate along.
After letting go, the chain should be locked on the chainstop-
per (K).
Never lie the ship at anchor with only the chain engaged in
the gipsy.
The chainstopper (K) is
not supplied as standard.
