6.3.
Operation
If this is your first boat or a boat type new to you, take someone with experience of a similar boat
with you the first few times you operate it.
6.3.1
Controls
You will quickly learn how to control your boat, but changing weather conditions, such as wind and
waves, will always present new challenges for the driver. The remote control combines the func-
tions of throttle, forward and reverse gears, and the adjusting of the engine trim angle. The boat is
equipped with hydraulic steering.
6.3.2
Emergency switch
The emergency switch is a device with one end attached to the switch under the remote control
and the other end for instance to your lifejacket. The emergency switch automatically switches off
the engine when detached from the remote control. It is very important that the boat will come to
a halt in the event that the driver, for whatever reason, loses his/her balance and is flung from the
helm.
NOTE!
Never take control of the boat without having attached the emergency switch to yourself. If you
attach the emergency switch to your arm, do not steer the boat with that arm, because the
chain may be tangled in the steering wheel during tight turns.
NOTE!
The engine will not start if the emergency switch is not attached to the switch on the remote con-
trol.
DANGER!
A rotating propeller presents a life-threatening danger to a swimmer or a person who has fallen
overboard. Always use the emergency switch to turn off the engine when a swimmer or water skier
is about to re-enter the boat from the water.
