It is fundamental for the plates to be aboard the boat, since they are only f orm of
recognition and identification. Without them the boat does not comply with the
legislation in effect. The plates must never be removed. Any tampering or removal not
authorised by the manufacturer is the full responsibility of the owner.

SAFETY REGULATIONS.
This manual contains recommendations and basic rules of conduct for using the boat in complete safety.Although
it is not possible to offer safety information for all potential situations, in general it is recomm ended that you :
Regularly check which safety requirements are in force.
Maintain the boat and the onboard plants in optimum condition.
Have the boat inspected by the dealer where it was purchased or by an authorised
mechanic at least once every year for your own safety and for maintaining the guarantee.
Always check weather and seagoing conditions before setting out.
For safe navigation, compare the design category of your boat with the table below.
W hen the tank is installed by the yard, the plant is prepared with a ground plait. The
installation of the motor MUST FORESEE A PLAINT CONNECTION to the boat ground plait.
Failure to connect (or failed maintenance) can result in the tank perforating leading to a
serious risk of fire / explosion caused by leaking fuel.
Max number of transportable persones is referred to an established weight of 75 kg per
person (ISO 6185), so always make reference to total maximum transportable weight.
The max weight of the installable motors indicates the maximum overall weight applicable
on the stern board, including any emergency motors. NEVER exceed the stated value.

ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT FIRE DANGER.
Fire may be caused by:
Crew negligence when smoking, the presence aboard of flammable liquids, electrical contacts, propulsion motor, errors in fueling, or if
maintenance has not been performed as required.
Once again, it is important that the crew behave correctly and that the boat is kept in order to avoid serious damage to it and to persons.
However, if a fire does occur aboard, stop motor, disconnect the batteries immediately, check to see if it is an electrical component or any case
a small-scale fire that does not involve flammable liquids, in which case use a suitable fire extinguisher to try and put the fire out completely.
Easily flammable products must not be kept aboard.
BATTERY: the battery may cause sparks or explosions. It must be stored in an appropriate
container, easily reached and well aired, AW AY FROM FUEL OR INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS.
Periodically check that the clips are tight and protect them with appropriate insulation in
order to prevent sparks or the spread of current.
Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment must not be kept in compartments with
key lock, but in easily accessible and clearly indicated locations.
Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment should be checked periodically and
replaced with the same or superior types if expired or inefficient.
Equip the boat with fire-fighting equipment before launch and use.

Fig.3
The boat buoyancy tube has U-shaped form. The tube is separated by
means of inner elastic partitions into 3 chambers of a similar volume, each
being provided with an air fill valve.
The air fill valve is intended for:
— filling the compartment with air from a standart pump or filling system
and maintaining pressure in the tube for prolonged time,
— adjustable drop of pressure in compartment.
The air fill valve is designed as a tab-type non-return valve and consists
of the following components (Fig. 3):
— housing (1);
— cup (2) with strap (3);
— washer with gasket (4);
— nut (5);
— spindle (6) with spring (7) and cup diaphragm (8).
Also there are the following elements fitted on the tube (Fig. 1):
— doubled rubbing strake;
— safety handles;
— bow step-plate with navigation lights;
— tube polyester ends with two antiskid steps each.
The sequence of filling the pipe with air:
1. Fill one of the compartments with air to a pressure of approximately 0.1
bar.
2. Fill the other compartments sequentially with air to a pressure of
approximately 0.1 bar(1.45psi).
3. Only after that, bring the air pressure in each tube compartment to the
nominal (0.15 bar/2.2psi).
BUOYANCY TUBE.
The rated pressure value is 0.15 bar (2.2 psi).
If the tube pressure more than nominal, deflate the tube slightly. Boat exploitation with
board pressure more than nominal decreases boat service life.
Do not use compressors and/or other types of inflating equipments not approved by the
boat builder.
Check the tube pressure before every navigation.

— 16 — BRIG
TUBE INFLATION.
Before inflation of compartment it's necessary to set all valves in operating condition. In order to switch valve to
operating condition, just press spindle 6 (look before Fig. D3) with your finger and turn it clockwise untill it is
fixed. If it isn't possible the valve is in operating condition already.
Fill the tube compartments with air using the pump from the complete set. First fill two rear compartments, then
bow compartment. Thereat, do not bring the pressure up to its operating value (the tube will be completely
straigh tened) .
Then fill the bow compartment with air up to the rated pressure.
The rated pressure value is 0.15 bar (2.2 psi)
On completion of filling close the valves with caps.
In order to discharge air from the compartments, open the valves (just press spindle with your finger and turn it
anticlockwise till it is fixed).
Board air chambers are hermetical if they keep own form during 8 hours. In this case:
– primary pressure has to be nominal;
– input valves openings have to be tightly closed by caps.
The rated pressure value is 0.15 bar (2.2 psi).
If the tube pressure more than nominal, deflate the tube slightly. Boat exploitation with
board pressure more than nominal decreases boat service life.
Do not use compressors and/or other types of inflating equipments not approved by the
boat builder.
Check the tube pressure before every navigation.
