Directions for use
Do not install on this vessel a heavier or more
powerful engine than what has been recommended:
this may induce a risk for the stability.
Stop the engine. Do not smoke when fi lling up the
fuel tank.
For outboard engines fi tted with a jerrican, fi ll
up the portable tank outside the boat in a well
ventilated area, far from any fi re risk.
Fuel stored somewhere else than in the tanks
(jerricans, feed tanks...) must be kept in a ventilated
place.
Before starting, ensure that the engine hold is clean
and dry. Any trace of fuel in the bilges should make
you postpone your departure.
Avoid any contact between fl ammable products
and hot parts of the engine.
Locate the extinguisher access hole which would
allow you to knock down a fi re in the engine hold.
For boats equipped with a petrol engine, ventilate
the engine compartment using the engine blower
during 4 minutes in order to evacuate any possible
petrol vapors.
For certain models, a fi xed extinguisher system,
allowing knocking down a fi re in the engine hold,
is provided. Learn where to fi nd its activation
switch and how it works (see 3.1.2). It is necessary
to ventilate the engine hold after having used it.
Check that the apertures for ventilation are clear of
any obstruction.
Do not block nor modify the ventilation system.
Before starting, ensure that:
- the engine control is not engaged,
-
the water control intake valve of the cooling
system is open and check that there is some
water actually coming out of the exhaust when
the engine has started (water may be mixed with
exhaust gas in case of wet exhaust).
It is not recommended to work on moving parts or
next to them (engine, line shaft, etc.).
If an intervention is made necessary:
- stop the engine and or the rotation of the line
shaft before working on one of their parts.
- beware of loose - fi tting clothing, hair, rings which
may get caught up. Wear appropriate clothes
(gloves, hat, etc.).
If equipped with a petrol engine, beware of the
danger of falling asleep because of carbon dioxides
fumes.
In case of fuel spillage on the deck when fi lling up,
have it cleaned before starting.
Anticipate the deterioration of fuel pipes.
Fuel hoses have to be replaced by hoses bearing
the same markings.
