Andersen 78ST User manual

Manual 78ST/FS
Version 1.1

GENERAL INFORMATION
Due to the best choice of materials and high precision in manufacturing, we recommend, for
normal use, only to dismantle, clean and lubricate the winch once every second year Under
extensive use, such as racing, charter or blue water sailing, we recommend to lubricate the winch
once every year
We strongly recommend always to use ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE, when lubricating your
winch ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE is a high quality silicone/Teflon grease product
Most other types of grease, including “marine grease” are not suitable for lubrication of winches
Non-suitable grease products can cause malfunction, which could result in fatal injuries for the
user and others
Pawl arm springs should be replaced every second year Spare arm springs and other parts that
may be required are included in the ANDERSEN Service Kit Please refer to the service instruction
for the Service Kit suitable for the specific winch
When the winch handle is not in use but the winch is under load, we recommend, from a safety
point of view, to remove the winch handle from the winch
To ensure correct function of the selftailing unit, only use recommended line sizes When using
the winch with mooring lines DO NOT use the selftailing function and be sure that the mooring line
is not in contact with the selftailing arm
To ensure the best possible functioning of the winch, we recommend that the winch is placed in
accordance with the line entry shown below
Be also aware that selftailing arm is positioned correctly We recommend to have the selftailing
arm positioned within the shaded area On 12ST and 28ST the position of the selftailing arm is
fixed, making it very important to establish the proper location of the holes prior to drilling these in
the deck On all other models, the selftailing arm can be placed in several different positions after
having installed the winch

INSTALLATION
Installing the winch is easy, if you follow these instructions The numbers in ( ) refer to the position
numbers in the parts list

3 Mark location of bolt holes using the lower base (1) as a template
4 Remove complete winch Be sure that no dust comes into contact with the winch while
drilling
5 Drill bolt holes ø12,5 mm
6 Apply a light coat of bedding compound, ensuring that each bolt hole is bedded Keep
drain grooves clear
7 Fasten lower base (1) into place using 6 pcs M12 countersunk head screws Use large
washers or a backing plate
8 Assemble in reverse order

12 Assemble in reverse order During assemble, lightly grease all gear teeth, drive shaft, roller
bearing, shafts, balls, pawls, springs and composite bushings Use a small, soft brush
Pawls may be lubricated with either a very thin film of ANDERSEN WINCH GREASE It is
very important that pawls can move freely
IMPORTANT: When assembling the winch, check the functioning of each pawl by pushing the
pawl against the spring The pawls should move smoothly and automatically return to their normal
position, where the pawls engage with the teeth If the pawls do not function correctly, clean and
lubricate the pawls and gears Check the function of the pawls again to make sure that it works
correctly If the pawls do not work correctly replace the springs and recheck the functioning
Not properly functioning pawls may lead to unexpected release of the winch force resulting in fatal
injuries to the user and others
