ventilated housings on open decks or in gastight lockers which are
vented overboard and intended for that purpose.
•
Do not use LPG cylinder housings or cylinder lockers for storage of
any other equipment.
Never leave craft unattended when LPG consuming appliances are in use.
Do not smoke or use open flame when replacing LPG cylinders.
•
Hoses in the LPG system must be inspected regularly, at least
annually, and replaced if any deterioration is found.
•
Inspect Gas (LPG) pipes at least annually. Replace if deterioration
or openings are found.
•
Avoid contact of Gas (LPG) pipes or lines with naked flames and
other hot areas.
•
Do not use the stove when high angles of rolling or sustained
angles of heel are likely (if the craft is not equipped with a
gimbaled stove).
We highly recommend not to use LPG/GAS burner while on cruise.
•
Shut off the main gas valve in the event of an LPG leak or fire from
an LPG tank.
Ensure proper ventilation in order to prevent asphyxiation.
4.4. VENTILATION SYSTEM
Ventilation of the fuel tank area is provided by means of a round plastic
vent found on port side of the cockpit. Filling vent is found on starboard
side of hull.
Do not go near the vents with open source of fire, such as cigarettes or
other spark producing items.
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. Never obstruct ventilation openings and ensure that fluid
appliances are operating correctly.
4.5. BILGE PUMPING SYSTEM
Please check Specific Information Booklet for location and type of bilge
pumps in your boat.
Since the electric pumps are automatic, they should be left on Auto
position when the boat is in water. The bilge pumps must be checked for
operation periodically.
