Considerations and Precautions
EN
General procedure for use of SLeipner windlasses
Read the operating manual carefully before installing and using the windlass.
Please note that strong forces are involved, so please use the windlass carefully and make sure, for example, that:
• Keep your distance to the windlass, the rope, anchor and anchor brackets during operation
• Keep the rope/chain(*maxi) under observation during anchor handling.
• Make sure anyone using the windlass knows how to operate it.
• Be aware when the anchor are raised as it can bring unwanted debris up from the bottom, potentially damaging your boat. (NB: If the windlass is
straining as the anchor is raised, stop for a few seconds and let the boat pic up momentum before continuing the raise.)
• If the anchor is stuck, release some rope/chain and attach it to a cleat before using the boat to pull the anchor free. The windlass is not designed
for loads beyond the specifi ed pull capabilities.
• The anchor MUST ALWAYS be secured to the boat while under way. Use the security line or other means to prevent unintentional anchor drop.
• Turn off the power to the windlass when not in use.
• Children must not operate the windlass.
• Careless use can cause damage or injury!
• Make sure to have good battery capacity, and keep the engine running windlass operation.
• Sleipner Motor AS is not responsible for damage or injury caused by the use of our windlass systems
IMPORTANT
This manual contains information you need to know before installing and operating the windlass.
IMPORTANT
• Always use original Sleipner rope. (NB: While dropping anchor, do not push the “UP” button until the anchor is resting at the seabed.)
• Windlass and accessories must be installed and used in a manner that will not cause damage or injury.
• Do not mount any windlass parts in hazardous environments (I.e. flammable fumes or gases).
• Control unit 150800 unit is NOT protected from water ingress, it must be installed in a dry area and not exposed for water.
• Windlass motor installations that are exposed to humidity MUST be surface protected with Tectyl or similar.
MC_0318
MIDI Considerations and Precautions
EN
Sleipner Engbo MIDI is designed for boats up to approximately 25 feet. These windlasses are true free-fall windlasses and are developed with a new
electrical control unit. This new unit is ready for connecting Side-Power remote control and switch panel.
Ensure there is suffi cient weight from the anchor when the windlass is released. The pulling force must overcome any friction/ weight of the rope,
chain and pulley system.
(NB: Over time rope becomes less flexible to bend over sharp turns or bends due to salt/ sand sediments when it drys.)

Installation Preparation
EN
Placing the parts
You must plan the placement of the following parts:
-Winch/motor -Switch panel
-Brackets for anchor and windlass -Cables
-Control-box -Rope guides
-Main switch/ miniature circuit breaker
General
The windlass should be positioned as high as possible to allow maximum space for the rope that will be stored below the windlass. The height from
the bottom of the wall where the rope is stored to the bottom edge of the line wheel should be at least 50 cm, and the area should be at least 40 x 40
cm to allow room for 50 m x 12 mm anchor rope. This will prevent the rope from bunching under the windlass and assure suffi cient friction between
the gear leg and the rope.
(NB: Remember to attach the end of the rope somewhere inside the boat.)
Anchor bracket
Fit the windlass so the rope is wound up in line with the anchor bracket (see pictures) – numerous different models are available. The anchor bracket
is working as a guide for the rope when the anchor is on the seabed and as a “seating point” for the anchor once it has been raised.
Use of anchor bracket
The bracket for the rope must be installed with the rollers outside the platform.
Standard platform roller or hinged platform roller
If the windlass is fi tted low in relation to the bathing platform, so the angle between the bathing platform and the rope is too small ,and if you are using
a Bruce anchor, use an Side-Power Engbo hinged platform roller.
Hull conduit / Line guide
It will often be necessary to install a hull conduit with a roller that guides the rope with low friction through the hull.
Rope
Side-Power Engbo supplies original woven anchor rope with a lead core . It is supplied in various lengths and dimensions.
Safety line
Once the anchor is seated in the anchor bracket, it must be secured with the safety line supplied.
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS attach a safety line to the anchor while underway.
IMPORTANT
• Ensure to have all necessary tools ready
• Unpack and organize all components
• Prepare and control the areas where all the different parts can be mounted.
• Follow the mounting instructions
• When winching the rope for the fi rst time after mounting, make sure the rope is tight, so the rope is pulled in correctly.

Windlass Mounting Installation
!Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
EN
Mounting
• The mounting bracket for MIDI 202 allows for infi nitely variable rotation in relation to the windlass gear leg/motor.
• The bracket for the rope guide and stop sensor can also be rotated independently of the gear leg/ motor and mounting bracket.
• This allows for installing the windlass on surfaces with different angles in relation to the stern. It can be fi tted on the inside of the stern, hanging
below the deck or aft of cross bulkheads inside the boat.
1. Position the windlass mounting bracket by loosening the two screws fastening the bracket to the gear housing, rotate the windlass to the correct
position and tighten the screws. (NB: Max. tightening torque 17 Nm.)
2. Adjust the windlass rope guide and stop sensor in a corresponding manner by loosening the screw fastening it to the gear leg. Rotate the bracket
so the rope is guided down and away from bulkheads and components that prevent the rope from coiling correctly below the windlass. (NB: Max.
tightening torque 17 Nm.)
(NB: It is important that the rope is wound suffi ciently around the line wheel to ensure a good grip on the rope. See separate section.)
(NB: The ”rope guide” must be located in centre of the line wheel. Also check this after having tightened the fi xing screw.)

Insert Rope Into The Windlass Line Wheel
!Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
EN
1. Insert the rope into the gypsy wheel between the wheel and the rope guide. It may be easier if you bend the tip of the rope guide tab carefully.
2. Route the rope via the gypsy wheel and out through the hole in the rope deflector.
3. When the windlass is connected, the rope can be pulled by pressing down on the up button on the touch panel or remote control.
4. When the tip of the rope has been pulled through the rope deflector, the rest of the rope can be pulled through using the windlass.
Ensure the windlass gypsy reels as intended.
IMPORTANT
When pulling in the rope for the fi rst time, you must keep the rope tight, so the rope run correctly.
Be careful to avoid injuring fi ngers.
Secure the end of the rope to an appropriate point after threading it through the windlass.

The mounting bracket for MIDI 202 allows
for infinitely variable rotation with the
windlass gear leg/ motor.
Ensure the length of rope
that is in contact with the
gypsy wheel is sufficient to
ensure good engagement/
friction with the rope.
The rope comes from above
and goes down into the line
wheel. In this case, the rope
guide must be adjusted to
ensure the rope is pushed
out horizontally from the
windlass.
The rope is always pulled
into the windlass from the
right. This is because of the
direction of rotation for the
windlass gypsy wheel.

IMPORTANT
Regardless of how the windlass is
fastened to the boat, the angle
between where the rope enters and
leaves the gypsy wheel must be
maximum 90 degrees.
Ensure there is sufficient room to
stow the rope below and next to the
windlass.
When pulling in the rope for the first
time, you must keep the rope tight, so
the rope runs correctly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the rope travels around the
gypsy to allow the teeth to catch the
rope.

Rope Stop Rings for Auto Stop
!Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
!Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
EN
EN
In order for the windlass to function normally, there must be a suffi cient volume/ height below the windlass for stowing the rope when the anchor is
up.
Recommended minimum height (A) below the windlass as well as width (B) and length (C) of the area used for stowing the rope.
Under the rope guide there is an inductive sensor that signals auto stop when the anchor has been lifted all the way up. To activate the detector, two
stop rings (included) are fi tted on the rope.
The outer diameter of the stop ring must be as close to the outer diameter of the rope as possible. This is necessary in order for the inductive detector
to be able to detect correctly.
In order to place the stop ring at the correct location on the rope, lift the anchor until the thimble eye is 25-50 cm below the rope roller (reel in at slow
speed for the last section), and mark the rope with a marker at the location of the inductive sensor. The anchor is then reeled in at low speed to the
desired fi nal resting position. Mark the rope once more by the detector and fasten the stop rings by the marks.
These stop rings will be exposed to wear by the line wheel, especially during heavy loads, and must therefore be inspected regularly. Replace dam-
aged stop rings if needed.
Recommended tools:
• Keeper ring pliers
• Pliers
• Auto stop rings (steel rings enclosed)
IMPORTANT
In case of installations where the rope is routed horizontally out of the windlass when the anchor is up, the relationship between A, B and C
may vary. It is important that there is a suffi cient volume to ensure that the rope is not forced into place below the windlass and cannot easily
be pulled out by the line wheel.
