Prestige 500, User Manual

Page: 59 / 124

The boat is fi ttted with three electric bilge pumps:
- In the front cabin (under the fl oor in front of the door).
- In the aft cabin (under the trap under the starboard berth).
- In the crew cabin (under the berth).
A manual emergency pump is located on the starboard side of the cockpit in
front of the wheelhouse.
All the electric bilge pumps are switched on using the WATER PUMP switch on
the left on the dash board (They automatically start).
Each pump starts manually using the switches on the left on the dash board.
The pump automatically starts if the water level is low but the alarm does not
(Draining of the bilge pipes).
Then the alarm starts when the water level is higher.
Nota: the electric bilge pump located in the crew cabin functions automati-
cally even when the 24 V circuit is turned off.
Nota: A valve is closed when its handle is perpendicular to the hose and it is
open when its handle is in line with the hose.
The grey waters coming from the showers, the washbasins and the sinks are
directly drained out via sea-cocks fi tted with valves.
Open the relevant valves before using the water equipment and close the
valve after use.
