Maintenance and service
Winter storage
• Remove the rope from the windlass before every period of
winter storage. Soak it in a mild soap solution overnight. Then
wash it in water and rinsing uid to rinse out all the salt resi-
due and dirt. This will keep the rope exible for many years.
At the same time, check the wire thread auto stop indicators
and replace them if necessary.
• Before winter storage, spray the windlass and all electrical
points and connections with a moisture repellent spray.
• Make sure that the windlass is protected against snow and
water during winter storage.
• Do not wrap the windlass, as this may cause condensation to
form during winter storage.
• It is also a good idea to wash the inside of the rope box and
remove seaweed, dirt, etc.

Line guide – adjusting the tension spring
• The line guide is spring-loaded and intended to press on
the rope to ensure sufcient friction between rope and line
wheel.
• If the spring becomes over-stretched, it may be necessary
to replace it. (Alternatively, the spring can be shortened
slightly).
Note!
• It is important that the line guide does not press too hard on
the rope. Too much friction between the rope guide and the
rope may prevent the anchor from dropping at the required
speed.
• The rope guide should be able to move easily and freely
above the hinged bolt when the spring is not tted. Only
then will the spring be able to exert the required pressure on
the rope guide.
