8.3. Safety
-
In order to avoid all risk of serious injury from the propeller, the engine must not be
started when there are swimmers near the boat.
-
Whenever possible, the engine must be stopped for any engine maintenance or
checking operations. If not, special attention must be paid to moving items (belts,
etc...) in order to avoid any risk of injury.
9. FUEL INSTALLATION
Flexible fuel pipes must be:
- replaced by pipes bearing the same markings
- replaced in the event of deterioration.
-
Depending on the trim and loading of your boat, the whole of the nominal fuel
capacity may not be usable. Always maintain a 20% reserve for safety.
Never:
- Store flammable materials in unventilated spaces.
- Smoke while filling tanks.
- Obstruct ventilation openings (vents, engine ventilation grilles).
- Modify the installation, unless this is carried out by a technician qualified in this
field.
10. STEERING SYSTEM
The steering system plays a vital rôle in the safety and comfort of your boat.
