Preventing fires and explosion hazards
8.1.
Refuelling
Shut off the engine and extinguish any cigarettes before starting to refuel. During refuelling, do not use
switches or appliances that can cause a spark.
Always keep a spare can of fuel on board. The anchor boxes at the stern are especially suitable for storing
the spare canister. There is no risk of vaporised fuel coming into contact with battery compartments or the
electrical system from either of these boxes.
Do not stow any loose items under the aft seat that could prevent fuel flow to the engine if they shift. This
is particularly important for items that may press against hoses or the fuel filter. Check the fuel hoses annu
-
ally for wear, especially at through fittings.
Please note that depending on the trim of the boat or the boat’s heeling angle, it might not be possible to
use the full capacity of the fuel tank.
WARNING!
Vaporised fuel is highly explosive. Observe strict caution and these instructions
when refuelling. If you can smell fuel, that always means that there is vaporised
fuel somewhere on your boat.
8.2.
Fire protection
The boat is equipped with a portable 2 kg fire extinguisher of class 8A 68 B, which is the minimum require
-
ment for extinguishers. The extinguisher is located in the storage compartment on the front of the co-driv
-
er’s console. The boat must always have an approved and inspected extinguisher during use. The fire extin
-
guisher must be inspected annually by an authorised inspector to ensure its functioning. In the event that
the fire extinguisher is replaced, the capacity of the new one must be at least equivalent to the old.

Ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible even when the boat is loaded. Inform members of
the crew about the location and operation of fire-fighting equipment.
Remember:
-
Never hinder access to safety equipment, for instance the switches to the electric system.
-
Never hinder access to fire extinguishers located in a box.
-
Never make alterations to any of the boat’s systems (especially the electricity or the fuel systems) or
allow an unqualified person to make alterations to any of the boat’s systems.
