! CAUTION
Observe the anchor windlass and control its speed using the brake to ensure that the windlass
speed does not cause the chain to "jump the cat," causing damage to the windlass.
5.
Slowly release the anchor windlass brake(s) (figure 1, item 4) by turning the anchor windlass brake handwheels (figure 1,
item 5) counterclockwise.
6.
When the desired amount of anchor chain (figure 1, item 2) has been paid out, set the anchor windlass brake(s)
(figure 1, item 4) by turning the anchor windlass brake handwheel(s) (figure 1, item 5) fully clockwise.
ANCHOR WINDLASS GYPSEY ONLY OPERATION
1.
Perform the Anchor Windlass Pre-Operation procedure in this work package.
NOTE
The gypsies turn whenever the anchor windlass is being operated. For gypsey-only operation,
the dog clutch is disengaged, and the brake is set. The main shaft can be driven with the wildcats
held stationary.
2.
Set both anchor windlass brakes (figure 1, item 4) by turning the anchor windlass brake handwheels (figure 1, item 5)
fully clockwise.
3.
Disengage the dog clutch (figure 1, item 6) by performing the following steps:
a.
Remove the dog clutch tool from the frame-mounted bracket.
b.
Loosen both wing nuts (figure 1, item 7) on the face of shifter ring (figure 1, item 8).
! CAUTION
Maneuvering the main shaft may be necessary (with the brake set) to engage the dogs with the
clutch jaws on the wildcat. Attempting to engage dogs and clutch jaws when not properly aligned
could damage the windlass.
c.
Verify that the anchor windlass brake (figure 1, item 4) is set by rotating the anchor windlass brake handwheel
(figure 1, item 5) fully clockwise.

Verify that the pelican hooks (figure 1, item 1) are secured to the anchor chain (figure 1, item 2) and that the pelican
hook turnbuckles (figure 1, item 3) are tight.

Operate the RAISE-LOWER control (figure 2, item 2) until the slots in the dog clutch (figure 1, item 6) are aligned
with the slots in the shifter ring (figure 1, item 8).
g.
Insert the dog clutch tool in the nearest slot that is aligned with the dog clutch (figure 1, item 6) and the shifter ring
(figure 1, item 8).
