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
N.B. Letting go of the chain by means of the electric motor is
only possible when this electric motor is connected in such
a way as to be set in operation in both rotating directions
by means of 2 switches/solenoid switches.
Disengage the chain from the chainstopper (K).
Make sure that the clutch-nut (C) is engaged by turning it to
the right.
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.
