Concept Hatch Fitting & Adjustment Instructions
(To be retained in owners manual for future reference)
Concept hatches are for use on power craft in accordance with ISO/DIS 12216.2(E), DESIGN CAT "A", AREAS II. Modification of the hatch by the fitting of vents etc. will invalidate the compliance with thyis standard.
Fitting Instructions
Concept hatches should be fitted to a flat surface with a maximum tolerance of +/- 1mm and a deck / hull thickness of
Mark the deck with a pencil around the outside edge of the frame flange.
It is essential that the frame is a snug fit and placed squarely on the deck opening. When fitting a number of hatches it is advisable to prepare a template.
Cut out deck along pencil line using a suitable saw.
Where the deck is of composite construction, it is recommended that the exposed laminate be sealed with the appropriate material prior to fitting the hatch. Openings cut in metal decks should have all burrs and sharp edges removed.
Hatches should not be considered as stiffening members and it is recommended that the deck be adequately stiffened to prevent distortion during heavy weather.
Position lower frame over hole and drill two fixing screw holes in opposite corners. Insert appropriate stainless steel fasteners.(see below).
