Product catalog summary
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the ULTRA Flip Swivel, a unique anchor chain connector designed to have a higher breaking load than the connected chain and features that prevent pin unwinding over time. It also ensures correct anchor orientation on the bow roller.

Specifications and Selection
The ULTRA Flip Swivel is selected based on the anchor size and chain compatibility. It is recommended to choose a swivel with a higher breaking load than the chain, especially when using a higher grade chain. For stockless anchors, specific configurations are required.

Installation Instructions
Proper installation involves inserting pins and setscrews through the chain and anchor eye. The swivel must be oriented correctly to function properly. Use Loctite for extra safety on setscrews, and heat may be needed for removal if Loctite was used.

Operational Considerations
The windlass operator does not need special actions for the swivel to work. Avoid fast recovery speeds to prevent damage. Narrow rollers or chain channels may block the anchor from flipping correctly.

Maintenance
Regular visual inspections are recommended. Use lithium-based grease for ball joint maintenance. Scars from the flipping nub are normal but should not increase over time. Replace the swivel if excessive wear is observed.

Corrosion and Pollution
Corrosion may occur with galvanized chains, and rust marks can appear due to contact with foreign metals. These are surface issues and can be cleaned with stainless steel polishers.

Warranty
Warranty terms are available online at the provided link.

ULTRA Flip Swivel User Guide - 2 - Swivels are anchor chain connectors – connecting the chain at one end of the swivel and the anchor at the other. -The ULTRA Flip Swivel's design is unique from most other anchor swivels in that its breaking load is higher than its connected chain. -The ULTRA Flip Swivel's other difference from most other anchor swivels is that its pins cannot unwind over time like standard shackle pins.

ULTRA Flip Swivel User Guide - 4 FITTING (INSTALLATION) CONSIDERATIONS: - When the anchor eye is inserted into the large end/throat of the ULTRA Flip Swivel, the correct orientation is for the rear bridge to marry to the top of the anchor shank (or, in other words, the inverted "U" shape of the rear bridge needs to be in line with the top of the anchor shank). The ULTRA Flip Swivel MUST be orientated this way to function correctly and permit the anchor to flip into the proper position/orientation on your bow roller. Refer to the attached image as a further reference regarding this important installation...

ULTRA Flip Swivel User Guide - 8 - Connecting the ULTRA Flip Swivel to a non-ULTRA Anchor : It’s important to remember that most traditional anchor have slots instead of holes on their shanks. This is because historically U (or D) locks were used before the development of swivels. The technical specifications of the ULTRA Flip Swivel result in a much safer and secure connection than the same group’s U (or D) locks. However, when using the ULTRA Flip Swivel with an anchor connected through a slot on rare occasions you might find the swivel locked in an undesirable position due to movements in...
