Troubleshooting

 

Problem:
The winch cannot be weighed: the electric engine runs, the shaft runs, but the gypsy is still although the brake belt is loose.

Possible causes: 
1.1 The gypsy is not closed on the clutch cones and slips under the load effect, or for some 
       reason the closing wheel is at end stroke. Check out all pieces in sequence.
1.2 The clutch cones or the gypsy cones are deformed and the clutch
       hubs are in contact and prevent closure.

Solution:  
1.1 Check out clutch tightening. If necessary, measure the parts and check out possible 
      deformations. It is possible to add some thickness to stem the problem. Then replace the 
      damaged parts.
1.2 Replace the clutch and/or the gypsy

 

 

Problem:
The finger is broken

Possible causes: 
1.1 Poor layout of the cable top or rolling of the chain has broken the finger. Check out the suitability of the gypsy to work with the finger.

Solution:  
1.1 Replace the finger.
1.2 In the event that the gypsy cannot work properly with the finger, position the replacement kit (cap).

 

Problem:
The chain jams 

Possible causes: 
1.1 The chain locker is not deep enough with respect to the
quantity of chain chosen
1.2 The chain is not suitable for the gypsy
1.3 The chain is not calibrated

Solution:  
1.1 Position the anchor windlass in the deepest point of the chain locker or reduce the quantity of
chain
1.2 Change the gypsy
1.3 Check the chain: if it does not meet the tolerances, it must be replaced
