FOREWORD
Dear Buster boat owner,
Thank you for choosing a Buster boat made in Finland. We wish you many enjoyable
moments with your craft.
The purpose of this owner's manual is to help you to use your boat in a safe and
enjoyable way. This owner's manual includes detailed information about the boat and
its equipment and accessories, as well as instructions for use and correct
maintenance of the boat. Please read the manual carefully and familiarise yourself
with your boat before using it.
The owner's manual alone is not a sufficient source of information on seamanship
and boating safety. If your new Buster is your first boat or the boat type is not familiar
to you, ensure your safety and comfort by obtaining sufficient experience in handling
and using the boat before you assume the responsibilities of the boat master. Your
boat dealer, local boating clubs and national motor boat and sailing associations will
provide you with more information about local training in boating and will be able to
recommend qualified instructors.
Make sure the forecasted wind and sea conditions match the design category of your
boat and that you and your crew are able to navigate the boat in the conditions that
may arise. Wind and sea conditions for design category C range from storm to strong
wind with a danger of unusual waves and gusts. These are dangerous conditions that
necessitate a skilled and fit crew and a well-maintained boat.
This owner's manual is not a detailed service and troubleshooting guide. In case of
problems please contact your local Buster dealer. Only use the services of repair
companies recommended by your local Buster dealer. Modifications that affect the
safety features of the boat are to be performed only with the builder's written
authorisation. The builder assumes no responsibility for unauthorised modifications.
In some countries, operation of the craft may require a permit or authorisation, and
special regulations may apply
.
Always keep your boat in good condition. Be careful to observe any signs of wear
caused by age, heavy use or abuse. Any boat, no matter how strong it is, may
sustain severe damage if used inappropriately. Always adjust the speed and the
heading of your boat to suit the prevailing sea conditions.
If your craft is equipped with a life raft, study its instructions carefully. The boat must
be equipped with the appropriate safety equipment (life vests, safety harnesses, etc.)
as required for the boat type and the weather conditions. In some countries, this
equipment is compulsory. The crew must be familiar with the correct use and
operation of all safety equipment and be able to handle the boat in emergencies
(including rescuing a person who has fallen overboard, towing, etc.). Yachting
schools and clubs arrange rescue training and practice opportunities on a regular
basis.
Everyone aboard the craft should wear a suitable personal flotation device (life vest
or boating vest). Please note that in some countries national boating regulations may
require everyone aboard to wear a personal flotation device whenever on board.
