SAFETY

TRAINING

NOTE: Source of useful information.

This sign means that you must take care during certain operations. Refer to the safety instructions on the following pages, to the point(s) indicated in the square.

A1. Read the instructions carefully.

A2. Carefully read the instruction manual provided with your outboard engine.

A3. It is the responsibility of the boat operator to learn and know the laws applicable to a boat and abide by them regarding how it is to be equipped and operated.

The applicable laws and regulations in force may change and differ according to the following factors:

-the location where the boat is commissioned,

-the requirements of the local authorities,

-the type of use of the boat,

-the time of day,

-the operating conditions,

-the size, speed, route, the type of boat (power, oars, etc.),

-the navigation mode.

A4. In addition to your knowledge and understanding of the applicable laws, please read and understand the following safety instructions.

PREPARATION

B1. All passengers onboard must wear appropriate clothing and have a life jacket.

B2. Make sure that the boat's standard equipment (oars, air pump and repair kit) is onboard. Survival equipment other than the mandatory items is sometimes necessary.

B3. An individual under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not in condition to pilot a boat.

B4. Do not exceed the maximum load rating and the maximum engine power indicated on the boat manufacturer's plate.

B5. Special attention should be given to wind and tides, as their variation has a certain effect on fuel consumption.

B6. If you plan to navigate in unfamiliar waters, consult with those familiar with the area concerning the possible hazards and dangers.

B7. Always report your time and point of departure, your route and your estimated time of return to someone on shore.

B8. You may have to turn on your navigation lights. Do not navigate in the dark or in hazardous meteorological conditions if correct navigation lighting has not been installed or is not in good working order.

B9. Safe boating and sea survival courses are available in the majority of countries through local and national organisations. It is the duty of all boat operators to know and understand maritime regulations and to inquire about weather conditions before heading out to sea.

B10. Before heading out to sea, it is very important that all survival equipment such as signal flares, first aid kit, anchors, etc. be thoroughly checked.

B11. Do not use a compressed air source (ex.: air compressor) to inflate the boat. Overinflation may cause the seams and/or walls themselves to rupture.

B12. Whether oars or a small outboard motor is used depends on sea conditions. The power may not be enough to counter tidal currents, small channels or shallow water.

B13. RESPECT THE MAXIMUM POWER RATINGS! An excessively powerful motor may cause dangerous maneuvrability and stability difficulties with serious consequences.
