15. AVOID THE RISKS OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
HAZARDS : Ensure your fuel system is in a good
with no leaks or smell, and maintain it properly.
16. AVOID SMOKING ON BOARD.
17. IF FUEL HAS SPILLED ON THE FLOOR: wash off with
water. Stop operating the boat if you discover any fuel
leak or fuel smell until you find and fix the problem.
d) Mooring and towing:
•
MOORING: use the buoyancy tubes' lateral D-rings. When moored, the self-bailers
should remain open to drain the rain water.
•
TOWING: fully inflatable boats should always be towed using a bridle. Use the 2 lateral
D-rings (fixed on the buoyancy tubes) made for this purpose. For rigid inflatable boats
(RIB), use a single line attached to the mooring ring.
1. Towing must be done at low speed (not more then 10
km/h) and in good weather conditions with no waves.
2. Towing boat must be supervised at all time of towing.
To lift boat and place it on davits, use the factory installed lifting eyes only, or have them
installed by your Dealer if the boat is not equipped. Use only certified and rated lifting slings,
appropriate for your boat and motor weight.
e) Lifting the boat:
1. NOBODY ON BOARD WHEN LIFTING.
2. WHEN LIFTED, THE BOAT MUST BE EMPTY (NO
EQUIPMENT) AND TIPPED TOWARD THE REAR WITH
OPEN BAILERS.
f) Trailer and davits system use:
•
The trailers size and carrying capacity should correspond to your boat size and
weight. Do not use too big or too small trailer for your boat.
•
Always prefer trailer / davits system with bolsters / banks with large contact spot to
rollers. Do not use the trailers / davits system with rollers only.
•
The boat must be properly inflated. Leave the self-bailer open.
•
Haul the boat onto the trailer using the bow eye.
•
Lift the engine shaft down and fix it to the support provided on a trailer. Do not trailer or
store the boat on davits without proper engine support on the trailer.
•
Tie down the boat with straps, using bow, lateral and rear eyes for that.
•
Close and secure all hatches and doors on the boat. Cushions must be secured or
taken away to prevent the loss.
•
Do not trailer the boat with the cover, which is not designed for transportation.
