occupiedseatsshould notbeleft throughout the entire sail ing
time. When sailing with an outboard engine the
steersman
should shift his body forward in the course of acceleration
to prevent the boat forebody from raising under the force
of upthrust waves.
Presence of sharp and pricking objects on board
Despite the strong shell of the boat we are recommended
to handle sharp and pricking objects being on board with
care. For example, it concerns a knife blade, fish-hook
point, etc.
Rocky shore, mole, shoals (for example, sand
banks, coral reefs, rocks)
Approach rocky shores, shoals, moles, etc. carefully to
avoid damages to the boat. It is strictly prohibited to drag
the boat across rough surfaces (shingle, rocks, concrete,
etc.).

Proper usage of boat equipment and accessories
Use the boat equipment and accessories only on their direct
purpose to ensure reliable service.
Availability of Oars
Even when sailing with an outboard engine you should always
have the oars available with you so that you were able to reach
the shore without outside assistance in case of any damage to
the boat.
Usage of emergency stop switch
On your request any outboard engine seller may provide your
engine with the emergency stop switch. During navigation the
switch should be connected to the wrist of your hand by means
ofacord. In caseyoufalloverboard, evenifbeinga steersman,
the switch will cut out the engine and the propeller. This
arrangementwillenableyou to avoid any traumasandtoreach
the boat.
Prevention of damages caused by electrolyte or fuel
leakages
Take all possible precautions against penetration of fuel or
electrolyte from the storage battery into the inflatable boat. If it
does happen wash thoroughly the fouled spots with water.
Cargo arrangement and stowing, attachment of items
and prevention of falling overboard
You should be always sure that the number of people on board
never exceeds that specified in the user's manual or on the
manufacturer's plate provided on the transom. The boat will
retain an adequate floatability and will not keel over only
provided that the load is arranged reasonably. Therefore,do
not accommodate all passengers on the same side of the boat.
Arrange the cargo to be carried uniformly inside the boat, all
items being reliable secured on the bottom of the boat. All
passengers should be accommodated inside the boat. The
