1. Introduction
A rescue boat is carried for the protection of every person on board. It can,
however, only fulfil its task, if everyone on board is acquainted with the
whole rescue boat, its functions and operation.
Only ongoing practice brings reliability to the rescue boat and prevents
handling errors in a case of danger.
Equally important is the sound technical condition of the boat, which is
obtained though regular maintenance.
This instruction manual cannot, of course, be complete, nor can it
unequivocally cover all procedures or situations of danger that could arise
during the operation the boats.
Each user of the boat should familiarise himself with the boat before use and
before a situation of danger could arise.
This manual should help you accomplish this.
