Rigid InRlatable Boats from 5.5 meter and up to 7.8 meter is Ritted with 1 or 2 standard build
in fuel tanks. If you bought a smaller craft ensure when Ritting fuel tanks in your craft you take the
following IMPORTANT recommendation into account.
Portable tanks should be placed on a cushioning base and should be strongly secured to the craft by
means of a girth to avoid bumps and risks of breaking during navigation.
When Ritting the portable tanks in a closed compartment, the compartment should be well ventilated and
without electrical accessories or components, as well as isolated from sources of ignition or sparks.
If your craft is Ritted with a Rixed tank integrated in the hull,
only
expert authorized personnel should Rit
this tank, carefully following the instructions provided with the tank. The fuel feed and return lines will
be mounted on an appropriate support properly secured to the craft structure.
When refueling, always stick to the following recommendations:
•
Stop engine and turn ignition keys to OFF before refueling the tanks.
•
If possible, remove the portable tanks from the craft to refuel.
•
Refuel the tanks in the open air and a well-ventilated area, far from heat sources, sparks or Rlames.
•
Do not smoke when refueling
•
Don’t Rill the tanks to the brim. The fuel increases volume with a rise in temperature and there is a
possibility of the tank overRlowing or even rupturing.
•
Tighten the Riller cap securely after refueling
•
Seek immediate medical attention should you accidently ingest some petrol, inhale vast amounts
of petrol vapor or get petrol in your eyes,
•
If any petrol spills onto your skin, immediately wash with soap and water. Change clothing if
necessary.
ONLY USE FRESH PETROL THAT HAS BEEN STORED IN CLEAN CONTAINERS!
