General procedure for use of Side-Power 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 speci 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 Side-Power rope. (NB: While dropping anchor, do not push the “UP” button until the anchor is resting at the sea-
bed.)
• 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. fl ammable fumes or gasses).
• 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.

MIDI Considerations and Precautions
EN
Side-Power 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 fl exible to bend over sharp turns or bends due to salt/ sand sediments when it drys.)
