INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Muir Windlass. Muir go to great lengths to develop anchoring systems that not only
meet all your performance and safety requirements, but at the same time are designed with a style and finish
that enhances the aesthetics of your vessel. With Muir’s commitment to quality and the use of superior materials
and processes we know you will be pleased with your investment, and rest assured that through the correct
installation, operation and maintenance your new Muir Windlass will give you years of reliable performance.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To avoid damage to the gear drive, windlass or vessel when bringing the anchor up hard, it is a preferred
practice to mark the chain at approximately 5-meter intervals from the anchor, to alert the operator to the
anchor position. Alternatively an Auto Anchor can be used.
Under no circumstances should the windlass be operated if it is stalled or overloaded.
If anchor retrieval is impaired by high wind, heavy seas or the anchor is snagged, ease the load by either
motoring or sailing slowly forward into the wind with a chain stopping device in place. The rope or chain should
be cleared off and the anchor driven out by the engine, otherwise the gearbox or shaft can be damaged.
SAFE OPERATION
•Ensure that hands, feet, hair and clothing are kept clear of the windlass and other loose gear when in
operation.
•Ensure no one is swimming nearby when the anchor is being lowered or retrieved.
•Keep hands well clear of capstan, gypsy, chain and rope.
•The windlass should never be used for lifting people aloft.
•Do not use a windlass as a bollard for mooring, towing or being towed.
•When the windlass is at lay or the anchor stowed, always ensure the clutch is tightened with the clutch
handle, and a Chain lock, Devils claw or Snubber Line is fitted to retain the anchor. The use of these accessories
will prevent excessive loads on the geardrive and accidental release of the anchor.
