Introduction and important notes
Manual XCAT Basic Page 6 Edition: 05/2023
Observe the traffic regulations: You always participate in water traffic with
your XCAT, even if you use it for your recreational pleasure. Water traffic is
regulated by ordinances, which differ according to the area of application.
Machine-driven vehicles (motorboats, personal watercraft) are required to
give way to sailing vessels. Muscle-powered vehicles without their own boat
drive (paddlers, pedal boats, rowing boats) are required to give way to
sailing vessels. So always check which XCAT model option you are currently
using and who you are obligated to yield to. But forcing right of way is
forbidden! Therefore, give way yourself in time with the "Last Minute
Maneuver". Commercial shipping always has the right of way! In the inland
and coastal area, it is generally valid that vehicles of the professional
navigation have the right of way. This includes in particular: Ferries, work
vehicles, police and rescue services, fishing vessels with deployed nets. So
keep your distance and avoid them!
When on the water with the XCAT, always carry an alternate emergency
propulsion system, such as a paddle, oar system, or outboard motor.
1.3 Important notes for driving with motor
Observe the legal regulations of the country or region in which you are
operating the XCAT (registration requirement, driver's license requirement,
etc.).
Do not use a motor that exceeds the motor power specified in the operating
instructions.
Do not smoke on the boat.
Make sure that the tank level is sufficient and that there is enough oil.
For electric outboards, check that the battery is fully charged before each
use.
Secure the motor to the boat (by line or chain).
Be on the lookout for others near the beach and drive only in designated
driving areas.
