OWNER'S MANUAL

 

3.0 SAFETY 

 
We  summarize  the  important  information  for  safety  aboard.  A  great  deal  of  the 
information  wi

ll  be  repeated  later  in  the  owner’s  manual,  but  Marex  signify  the 

importance  for  you  as  a  customer  and  user  of  the boat  that  this  information  must  be 
easily accessible in a stressed situation. 
 

What is described here should be carefully studied by the user. 

 

3.1 GENERAL 

 

 

WARNING: 

 

Never: 

  let objects block the emergency exits (doors and hatches). 

  let  objects  hinder  access  to  the  fuel  stop  valve,  lens  pumps  and  electrical 

switches. 

  let objects hinder access to fire extinguishers. 

  use gas lights. 

  change any of the boats technical systems 

– especially the gas fuel and electrical 

systems. 

  fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the cooker or heater is in use. 

  smoke when handling fuel. 

  use the rails to pull anything after the boat. 

  use the rails as mooring. 

  place fenders at the exhaust outlets for heater and cooker. 

 

Always: 

  inspect the whole boat, particularly the engine room for leakages before every 

start-up of the engine. 

  have cabin doors closed during sailing.  The weight of  the doors can make the 

doors  slam.  Also  close  all  port  lights  and  windows  during  rough  weather 
conditions or while planning. 

  hold lensing pump free from impurities. 

  check for leakage of the fuel system. 

  check the fuel level.
