PRECAUTIONS OF USE, OPERATING ADVICE
General point
- In this vessel, do not install an engine with a greater power and weight than that
recommended, this will create a danger for its stability.
- Fuel which is stored elsewhere than in the fuel-tanks (portable tanks, jerrycans, etc...)
must be kept in a ventilated space.
- Make sure that the engine compartment is clean and dry.
- Avoid contact between inflammable substances and the hot parts of the engine.
- Locate the extinguisher hole which allows access to the engine compartment if a fire
should break out. (Refer to chapter 2).
Filling
Fill the fuel tank using the filler. In order to protect the deck from possible fuel splash, wet the
area around the filler with sea water before you remove the filler cap. In case of splashes, rinse
the deck thoroughly (after fitting back the filler cap).
The level of fuel is transmitted to the indicator on the engine panel thanks to the dipstick.
- Refill before the fuel tanks have almost run dry (the fuel system may be stopped for
lack of fuel).
- Make sure you have enough fuel before sailing.
Fuel oil tank capacity ......................................................................................... 240 l/63 US gal
DANGER
- Stop the engine and refrain from smoking during fuel tank filling.
- Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if
installed) compartment are well cleared.
