All ORION RIBs are equipped with navigational lights that comply
with the COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea).
When not in use, keeping the allround light at its location under the
lid is highly recommended to prevent the accidental damage.
Battery acid is corrosive, so you have to protect your eyes and
skin if you have to work on it. You must rinse splashes of acid with
freshwater and consult a doctor immediately. You can neutralize
splashes of acid on the skin or clothes with acid transformer or
soapsuds.
Check from time to time if the battery terminals have a tight fit and
if there are any corrosion patches.
Batteries may produce explosive hydrogen gas. Keep all sparks,
flames, and smoke-generating materials away from the batteries.
Always wear eye protection near the battery and ensure adequate
ventilation during installation.
