Safety notes regarding the operation of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) unit
The yacht is equipped with an LPG unit. Please observe the following notes when operating it.
If the system malfunctions, make sure to immediately close the
valve in the cabinet next to the stove.
Action in case of a smell of gas
If you smell gas, shut the valve of the gas cylinder and ventilate the boat intensively. The
presence of gas fumes can be checked for by means of gas detectors.
Have a specialist examine and remedy the cause before using the gas system again!
Notes on preventing malfunctions of the LPG unit:
•
Shut the valves of the supply line and the cylinder if the stove is not in use. In case of an
emergency, shut the valves immediately.
•
Make sure that the valves of the appliances are shut before opening the valve of the cylinder!
•
Check the LPG unit for possible leakages on a regular basis. Check all connections with soap
water. (When doing so, the valves of the appliances must be shut and the valves of the
cylinders and the unit open.)
•
If there are leakages, shut the valve of the cylinder and have the system repaired by a specialist
before using the appliance again.
•
Since flames consume oxygen, the room must be ventilated well. Do not use the stove to heat
the saloon.
•
Never block access to the LPG system.
•
The valves of empty cylinders must be shut and disconnected from the system. Keep lids and
sealing caps ready for use. Store reserve cylinders and empty cylinders on the open deck or in
the provided spaces that have outboard ventilation!
•
Never use the lockers or boxes meant for the gas cylinders to store other equipment!
•
Never leave the yacht unattended if the stove is on.
•
Check the hose assemblies of the LPG system on a regular basis, at least once a year. Have
them replaced if they are damaged.
•
If you replace the stove, make sure that the new one has the same working pressure.
•
Never use the stove in case of high waves or large heel angles (if the boat is not equipped with
a gimballed stove)!
Comply with the inspection intervals of the entire system! The
inspection should only be carried out by a maintenance firm
specialised in LPG systems on boats.
If the boat is sailing under the German flag, you, as owner, are
obliged that the gas system will be inspected every two years by a
specialist
of the "Deutsche Verband der Gas- und
Wasserinstallateure mit der Zulassung für Caravane und Boote".
Please observe the following notes and the manuals or operating instructions of the appliance
manufacturers!
