Foreword
Dear Owner of the boat!
The intention of this handbook is to help you to operate your craft with safety and pleasure. It contains
details of the craft and of the equipment and systems supplied with it or fitted in it and information on
its operation, care and maintenance. Please read it carefully, and familiarise yourself with the craft
before using it.
Naturally, the owner's handbook is not a course on boating safety or seamanship. If this is your first
craft or you have changed to a type of craft you are not familiar with, please ensure for your own
comfort and safety that you obtain handling and operating experience before "assuming command" of
the craft. Your dealer, boating clubs or national boating federation will be pleased to advise you of local
sea schools, or competent instructors.
Ensure that the anticipated wind and sea conditions correspond to the design category of your craft,
and that you and your crew are able to handle the craft in these conditions.
The sea and wind conditions corresponding to design categories A, B, and C range from severe storm
conditions to strong wind with hazards of exceptionally high waves or exceptionally strong gusts.
Whatever the category of your boat, these are dangerous conditions, where only a competent, fit and
trained crew using a well maintained craft can operate satisfactorily.
This owner's handbook is not a detailed maintenance or troubleshooting guide. In case of difficulty,
please contact the dealer. Only trained and skilled people should work on maintenance, repairs or
modifications. Modifications that may affect the safety features of the craft should be assessed, carried
out and documented by skilled personnel. The manufacturer is not liable for any unapproved
modifications.
In some countries a driving licence or authorisation is required to pilot a vessel. Familiarize yourself
with the special provisions of your own area.
Always maintain your craft in good condition and make allowances for wear and tear over time and as
a result of heavy duty usage or misuse of the craft. Any craft no matter how strong, can be severely
damaged if not used properly. This is incompatible with safe boating. Always adjust the speed and
direction of the craft to sea conditions.
The craft should always carry the appropriate safety equipment (lifejackets, harness, etc.) according to
the type of craft, weather conditions, etc. This equipment is mandatory in some countries. The crew
should be familiar with the use of all safety equipment and emergency manoeuvring (rescuing a
person overboard, to
schools and clubs regularly organise drill sessions.
All persons should wear a suitable buoyancy aid or life jacket when on deck. Note that in some
countries it is obligatory to wear always a buoyancy aid / life jacket complying with national
regulations.
PLEASE KEEP THIS HANDBOOK IN A SAFE PLACE, AND HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER
IF YOU SELL THE CRAFT.
Thank you for choosing Flipper. We trust you will get a great deal of pleasure out of the boat.
