1.5 Installed power
The safety of the boat is directly linked with the installed power. Adjusting or modifying the propulsion system from its
original state may cause serious harm to persons and/or property.
Do not replace the boat motor without written authorization from GARDASOLAR. Any tampering will cause loss of
warranty rights.

USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL GARDASOLAR GOGO4-GOGO6 GS4001-rev6 9 / 69
1.7 Fire
The risk of fire and spreading of fire is limited to the electrical part of the boat. Fire risk is reduced thanks to the presence of
protection devices against shortcircuit currents (fuses) and the use of cables and sheathes that do not spread flame.
A portable 1 Kg powder extinguisher with extinguishing power 34BC is provided on board.
1.8 Flooding
The boat is self-draining and in the event of flooding the water will discharge through the drain holes placed under the
passenger seats.
1.9 Personal flotation device
The owner of the boat, or in his absence, whoever is in charge of the boat is responsible for the use of personal flotation
devices for the passengers. The operator should consult the directives and laws in force in the country of destination of the
boat.
In case of doubt always allocate one suitable flotation device for each passenger on board.
GARDASOLAR advises you to
place the flotation devices under the seats, if they are self-inflating, or in the central opening of the boat for traditional types.
In any case the devices must be easily reached and in sight.
✓Always check that the fire extinguisher is in
good condition and that the pressure
indicator, if present, is in the charged
position (green area).
✓During an emergency abandon the boat only in case of extreme necessity.
✓Always check the design category against wind and wave conditions before
going out with your boat.
✓Observe the maximum weight and the maximum number of persons allowed on
board as shown on the manufacturer's plate. Allow some margin to these
indications in rough waters.
✓If weather conditions are variable or quickly changeable do not go out with
your boat.
✓Always check that you have fixed the moisture drain caps to the hull, if present.
✓If present, make sure that the bilge pump works properly.
✓Always wear life jackets when on board.

✓Throw out of range of the fire all materials that may catch fire.
✓Report the emergency.
✓Gather all emergency devices and prepare to abandon the boat if necessary.
2.2 Abandon
✓In the event of fire and if you abandon the boat, when you are in the water try to avoid the smoke carried by the wind.

✓Stay on the boat.
2.5 Impact with land/aground
In the event of an impact, inspect the boat to check the extent of the damage.
✓Check for leaks. If water is entering, give priority to stopping the water from entering before attending to refloating the
boat.
✓Estimate the depth of the land on which the boat is grounded in order to refloat it more easily.
✓Establish whether the current, the wind and the waves will hinder or help to refloat the boat.
2.6 Water on board
Use immediately automatic and/or manual bilge pumps.
✓Check for any new seepages after water has been drained.
✓Stop navigation if the water seepage gets worse when the boat is moving.
✓In the event of persistent water seepage, make for the coast in order to reach the safety of a port.
2.7 Towing
Towing a boat is the last-ditch solution in the event of breakdown or emergency. The boat has towing handles which in
normal conditions allow the boat to be towed by a second boat.

USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL GARDASOLAR GOGO4-GOGO6 GS4001-rev6 13 / 69
If you attach the connection means to a structure, make sure that it can withstand the strain it will be subjected to make a
fitting that can distribute the strain over the largest possible area.
✓Keep the connection means out of range of people and motor propellers.
✓Do not hold back with hands and/or feet the connection means between the two boats.
TOWING BOAT
✓Pass the connection means to the boat in trouble.
✓Make attachments by means of a bobstay.
✓Give the tow start signal and accelerate slowly to avoid jerking.
✓Watch out for any breakage and subsequent whiplash of the connection means.
TOWED BOAT
✓Attach to connection means to the front or rear handle.
✓To improve the tow, if possible use the rudder control to steer the towed boat.
2.8 Man overboard
✓Stop immediately or stay in any case near the person in the water.
✓Raise the alarm immediately and do not lose sight of the person in the water.
✓Throw a lifebuoy or any floating and colored object to the person in the water even if he is already wearing a personal
flotation device.
✓Approach from downwind and move into the wind to recover the person.
✓Switch off the motor during recovery to avoid injuring the person with the propeller.
2.9 Drowning
The last resort is to leave the boat and swim towards the person who is drowning. First try to throw him floating means or a
rope.
✓When back on board do any necessary first aid.
✓Keep the person warm to avoid hypothermia.
✓Be gentle when moving the person on board.
✓Ask the emergency services for assistance.
2.10 Medical emergency
In the event of an emergency you could be far from the coast, so be properly prepared by attending a first aid course.
2.11 Propulsion and control system breakdown
✓Switch off the motor.
✓Drop the anchor so as to avoid drifting from your position.
✓Try to understand if the problem can be solved by reading the manual.
✓Report the emergency.
Towing or being towed puts a strain on the boat and the
connection means between the two boats.
Breakage of the connection means could cause harm to
persons and/or objects. Be very careful.
