11. Release hooks:
In most cases the release hook is part of the davit and has to be
operated according it’s own instructions. In such case refer to
instruction of the release hook (which is not a Fassmer hook).
Only valid if boat is equipped with fixed release hook of
Fassmer Duplex type.
See instruction on the following pages
!
WARNING:
On-load release may result in death or serious injury due to
dropping the rescue boat in water from a height. The release
handle is to be handled by the coxswain only.
Refer to the hook instructions.
When using the emergency release it is possible to set the
hooks free under load when hanging in the davits or whilst
lowering. Use the release handle only when you are sure
that the boat is waterborne or as close as possible.
