Prestige 500, User Manual

Page: 89 / 124

During fi lling, avoid handling contaminants near the fi llers.
MAINTENANCE OF THE TANKS
Regularly check the O rings of the fi llers for good condition (to prevent water
from entering the tanks).
Do not turn off the fuel taps after each use (except in case the boat is unatten-
ded for long).
Keep the fuel tanks as full as possible (to avoid condensation).
Every year check the fuel system for condition (hoses, valves, etc.).
Ask a professional to carry out any works on the damaged parts of the fuel
system.
Nota: the capacity of the tanks (that is indicated in the page SPECIFICATIONS)
may be not completely useable according to the trim and load of the boat.
Always keep 20% fuel as a reserve.
FUEL FILTERS
In order to prevent any water infi ltration, the fuel runs through two fi lters: the
fi rst one is on the pipe that links the tank to the engine (designed as a water
decanter and pre-fi lter), the second one is an integral part of the engine (de-
signed to fi lter fuel fi nely).
To know when you have to intervene and how frequently you have to change
them, please refer to the engine instruction guide.
Drain it by undoing the knurled screw on the base of the decantation bowl (but
do not remove it).
Allow to fl ow into a box till the fuel looks clean.
Do it several times a year.
Change the pre-fi lter at least once a year (access to it when you remove the
bowl).
On the dash boards (wheelhouse and fl ying bridge) you can fi nd all the func-
tions to monitor the engines.
Please refer to the engine instruction guide supplied with the boat; it gives
you explanations about the indicator lights, dials and warning lights on the
dash boards.
REVERSING CAMERA
The boat may optionally be fi tted with a rear view camera.
Images are displayed on the command post screen of the wheelhouse when
manoeuvring backwards.
