HANDLING
LAGOON 42
The crane hook will be fitted with a gantry or a spreader system with
two slings.
The slings shall not be connected directly onto the hook, as it would
result in unusual compressive stresses on the hull.
- Crane lifting should be carried out slowly.
- Control the movement of the boat using mooring ropes.

Mast stepping and mast unstepping shall be carried out by a specia-
list.

10.1 Preparation
The initial launching and the first tests of the different equipments
shall be carried out by your dealer so that you can expect to enjoy the
warranty in case of some equipment failure.
All further handling shall be carried out with the highest care by pro-
fessionals.
If the LAGOON boatyard are not involved in your handling operations,
they cannot cover under guarantee any possible accidents linked to
handling.
If later you have to launch your boat yourself, you should take the
following precautions:
- Retract the sensors under the hull into their housings (they may be
damaged by the handling slings).
- Check the water suction boxes for cleanliness.
- Turn off all the water inlet and drain valves (grey waters, black wa-
ters, engines).
- Check the anodes are in good condition and properly installed. An
anode shall never be painted.
n
10.2 Crane lifting
- Install a bow mooring rope, a stern mooring rope and fenders.
When using a crane to move the boat, check that slings cannot touch
any device (depth finder, speedometer, etc.) nor the propellers.
DANGER
Do not stay on board or under the boat during
craning.
