• If you at all suspect that you have gas in the boat, open all hatches, DO NOT smoke or use open
flame and avoid sparks from electric switches until you are sure that the boat is free from gas. If leakage
is present, close cylinder valve and have the system repaired before further use, system repairs should be
made by a competent person.
CAUTION — Do not use solutions containing ammonia.
WARNING — Never use flame to check for leaks.
WARNING — Fuel burning open flame appliances consume cabin oxygen and release products
of combustion into the craft. Ventilation is required when appliances are in use. Open
designated vent openings while appliances are in use. Do not use the stove or oven for space
heating. Never obstruct ventilation openings.
Do not obstruct access to LPG system components in any way.
Keep valves on empty cylinders closed and disconnected. Keep protective covers, caps or plugs in place. Store reserve
cylinders in ventilated housings on open decks or in gas-tight lockers which are vented overboard and intended for that
purpose.
Going to sea
Please be careful to check that the stove is well secured from its gimballing position, in order to prevent
the cover and stove colliding when sailing. (HR 310-HR 43)
Please also make sure that all portlights and skylights are well closed before going to sea. The magnetic
door holders are designed to be used in harbour. If sailing in fresh wind, please always lock the doors in
their frames, not with the magnetic door holders.
Openings in the hull
‐
Keep seacocks, cockpit drains, bungs and other opening/closing devices in the hull closed or
open, as appropriate, to minimize the risk of flooding.
‐ Keep portlights, windows, washboard, doors, hatches or ventilation openings closed when
appropriate, e.g. in rough weather.
