LAUNCHING RECOMMENDATIONS
A lot of skill and care is required to commission your JEANNEAU boat. The proper working
of all your boat's equipment is the result of the quality of the commissioning operations.
In order to remain completely under guarantee in the case of any failure of parts or
materials the first launching and the first trials of different equipment must be carried out
by your JEANNEAU dealer.
If later you have to launch your boat yourself, you should take the following precautions:
BEFORE LAUNCHING
- If your boat is to be fitted with sounder and speedometer, allow for the relevant fittings
and their installation.
- Check the water intake strain box for cleanliness.
- Check the engine and reduction gear oil levels (refer to engine manual).
- Retract the speedometer into its housing (it may be damaged by the handling belts).
- Turn off all the water inlet and drain valves (sink, washbasin, heads, engine).
HANDLING
- Install a fore rope, a rear rope and fenders.
- When craning, check that no device is crushed by the belts (sounder, speedometer,
shaft, etc.).
- Locate the strap positions using the stick-on markers. The belt position will be useful
during the craning for a future launching.
WARNING
- Do not stay on board or under the boat during hoisting.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- The proper working of all your boat's equipment is the result of the quality of the
commissioning operations.
