PERATION
:
The davit is powered by the AFT SYSTEMS switch
on the 240VAC distribution panel which must be
ON for davit operation.
Connect the remote control unit located in the
starboard cockpit storage locker to the receptacle
located on the port base of the transom in the
cockpit (See figure 2.24.1).
DO NOT OPERATE THE DAVIT WITH A FAULTY
CABLE OR ANY DAMAGED PARTS.
!
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT THE AREA AROUND AND
BENEATH THE LIFTING AREA IS CLEAR BEFORE
RAISING OR LOWERING ANY OBJECTS WITH THE
DAVIT. DO NOT LIFT PEOPLE OR LIFT OBJECTS
OVER PEOPLE.
!
WARNING
HEAVY LISTING OR “HEELING” OF THE VESSEL AS
THE TENDER IS BEING RAISED OR LOWERED CAN
CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN ROTATING THE CRANE AND
DINGY.
!
WARNING
Be certain that the davit base is raised fully before
operating the davit. Extend the standpipe by
pressing the
“Pipe Up” button on the remote control
unit. In order for the davit to rotate the standpipe
must be raised to its fully extended position.
After lifting the watercraft with the davit, swing the
davit by pushing or pulling the load. This will make
rotation much easier and will provide better leverage
if the vessel should heel over slightly. DO NOT push
on the boom.
When operation of the davit is complete, clip the
snap shackle into the bale on the weight stowage
bracket at the end of the boom. Press the cable UP
button on the remote unit while guiding the weight
between the sides of the bracket until the cable
stops.
Rotate the boom over the box and lower the hook
into place by pressing the CABLE DOWN button
on the remote unit. Disconnect the remote unit and
replace in storage.
