For Windlass systems
• Keep your distance to the windlass, the anchor line, anchor and anchor brackets during operation.
• While operating the anchor maintain observation of the rope or chain during handling.
• Ensure 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 gain up momentum before continuing the raise.)
• If the anchor is stuck, release some anchor line/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.
• Children must not operate the windlass.
• Careless use can cause damage or injury!
• Keep the engine running during windlass operation to ensure good battery capacity.
• Sleipner Motor AS is not responsible for damage or injury caused by the use of our windlass systems.
• While dropping anchor, do not push the “UP” button until the anchor is resting at the seabed.
Never use a windlass close to somebody in the water, an unexpected drop of the anchor can cause serious injuries.
It is the owner/ captain/ other responsible parties full responsibility to assess the risk of any unexpected incidents on the vessel.
MC_0318
For MIDI windlass systems
Sleipner MIDI is designed for boats up to approximately 7 meters. These windlasses are true free-fall windlasses and are developed with an
electrical control unit. This unit is ready for connecting Sleipner 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 anchor
line and pulley system.

Installation Preparation
Placing the parts
You must plan the placement of the following parts:
General
The windlass should be positioned as high as possible in its installation area to allow maximum space for the anchor line that is stored below the
windlass.
(NB: Remember to attach the end of the anchor line somewhere inside the boat.)
Anchor bracket
Ensure the windlass and the anchor bracket keep the anchor line straight during operation. – 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.
Platform roller or hinged platform roller
If the windlass is fi tted low in relation to the anchor roller, so the angle between the anchor roller and hull conduit is small, use an Sleipner hinged
platform roller or a pivoting platform roller with spring «62-30000» to ensure that the free-fall will work. Ensure the anchor line is wound up in-line
with the hull conduit.
Hull conduit / Line guide
Install a Sleipner specifi c hull conduit that guides the anchor line with low friction through the hull.
Anchor line
Use a Sleipner specifi c woven anchor line with a lead core. It is supplied in 30 and 50 meter lengths from Sleipner.
Safety line
Once the anchor is seated in the anchor bracket, it must be secured with the safety line.

7-Control panel
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.

Anchor Line Clearance
In order for the windlass to function normally, there must be a suffi cient volume/ height below the windlass for stowing the anchor line 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 anchor line.
IMPORTANT
In case of installations where the anchor line 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 anchor line is not forced into place below the windlass and cannot easily be
pulled out by the line wheel.

Windlass Mounting Installation
Mounting
• The mounting bracket for MIDI allows for infi nitely variable rotation in relation to the windlass gear leg/motor.
• The bracket for the anchor line 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 anchor line guide and stop sensor in a corresponding manner by loosening the screw fastening it to the gear leg. Rotate the
bracket so the anchor line is guided down and away from bulkheads and components that prevent the anchor line from coiling correctly below the
windlass. (NB: Max. tightening torque 17 Nm.)

Windlass Electrical Installation
Fitting control unit 150800
The unit is not water resistant or splash proof and must be placed in a dry area close to the windlass motor.
Use M6 terminals for the selected battery cables.
Tighten the terminals to maximum 5Nm.
Pay attention to assemble the terminal spacers and washers in the correct order according to fi gure 1.
The unit has mounts that ensures space between the unit and it’s mounting surface. This to avoid condensation to enter the unit. It also ensures prop-
er ventilation of the enclosure.
The control unit must be mounted with the cables protruding downwards.
Connecting the motor and battery cables on Midi
Motor for windlass type Midi is delivered with cables fi tted to the motor.
• Fit included copper link(A1-A2 LINK) between Terminal A1 and A2.
• Connect the red cable from the motor to the Terminal marked D1/M+.
• Connect the black cable from the motor to the Terminal marked D2/M-.
• Connect supply cable from battery negative to the Terminal marked B-.
• Connect supply cable from breaker/ fuse to the Terminal marked B+. Connect breaker/ fuse to battery main switch.
• See complete wiring diagram in this manual for reference.
• Tighten all terminals properly, including A1 and A2, with a maximum torque of 5Nm. Over-tightening may damage the terminals.
• Leave breaker/fuse disconnected until the installation is completed.
!Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !
See control unit (150800) manual for confi guring programming and more installation information.
