IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT
In case of an accident, do not panic and reassure passengers.
Be aware that your boat, even if damaged, may provide the best shelter and facilitate your
rescue. Never leave the boat whilst it remains afloat. Remember that an inflatable boat, even
when full of water, is virtually unsinkable.
If, after an accident, a tube compartment deflates, bring it inside the boat, restore the load
balance to the opposite side of the deflated compartment and return to port at reduced speed.
In case of a collision or an impact with a floating object, stop to examine the hull, the buoyancy
tubes, the motor and its attachments and return to shore at a low speed.
Signal for help.
Following an accident and before using the craft again, make sure that it is examined by
your dealer or a qualified technician and any defects are repaired.
NEGLECTING REGULAR INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS MAY LEAD TO A SERIOUS INJURY
OR DAMAGE AND WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR BOAT.

SAFETY

STABILITY AND BUOYANCY
The stability and buoyancy of the craft have been thoroughly assessed by the Manufacture in
compliance with the requirements of the Recreational Craft Directive 2013/53/EU. The craft
manufacturer guarantees that the boat meets all safety criteria during normal operating conditions.
However, the person responsible for operating the craft must always keep in mind that the safety
of the craft and crew should be their priority at all times and that conditions on the water can change
suddenly with little prior notice. Before using your boat, it is strongly recommended that appropriate
training is given to all crew members in the safe operation of the craft.
ENGINE INFORMATION
Information about recommended engine capacities, maximum engine capacities, maximum engine
weights for each model are given in the technical data sheet of “TECHNICAL INFORMATION”
section.
NEVER USE A MOTOR WITH A POWER OUTPUT GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM
RECOMMENDED, OR HEAVIER THEN INDICATED ON THE BUILDER'S PLATE. THIS COULD
RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
