1. Introduction
1.1. General
All systems that are delivered to the costumer are fully tested according the rules and
regulations applicable. During these tests, all components are set for optimal
performance of the rescue boat.
For a safe operation of the Rescue boat, the operator(s) need to be fully aware of the
equipment controls and how to operate these. Therefore we will insist to read this
manual and the supplemental manuals before un-packing, installing and starting up the
rescue boat.
Follow every instruction in this handbook. This will prevent for possible accidents and the
periodic maintenance will assure a long working life. Incorrect maintenance results in
warranty loss. For maintenance purposes we recommended the customers to have a 1
year service package present. For details, please refer to chapter 9.
1.2. Introduction
All PALFINGER BOATS rescue and fast rescue boats are designed according to the
standards which have been recorded by the different classification bureaus. This means
that all our boats meet the requirements which are necessary for recovery of persons
who have accidently fallen overboard.
A rescue boat is carried for the protection of everyone on board. However it can only
fulfill its task, if the assigned persons on board are acquainted with the whole rescue
boat, its functions and operations. Only permanent practice gives confidence to the
rescue boat and prevents mistakes of handling in case of danger.
1.2.1. Construction RSQ 450 A
The RSQ 450 A rescue boat is a rigid rescue boat, made 5083H111 grade aluminium. The
hull of the RSQ 450 A rescue boat is a so-
divided into several compartments. It has been built-up of an upper hull and lower hull
stiffened by several bulkheads. All compartments are pressure tested to make sure all
compartments are watertight.
The hull has been executed with a stern inlet to accommodate the outboard engine. Its
V-shaped hull construction guarantees an optimum planing and subsequent sailing speed
with excellent stability characteristics.
1.2.2. Construction RSQ 450 G
The RSQ 450 G rescue boat is a rigid rescue boat, made of E-glass glass fibre. The hull of
the RSQ 450 G rescue boat is a so-
into several compartments. It has been built-up of an upper hull and lower hull stiffened
by several bulkheads. All compartments are filled with approved polyurethane foam.
The hull has been executed with a stern inlet to accommodate the outboard engine. Its
V-shaped hull construction guarantees an optimum planing and subsequent sailing speed
with excellent stability characteristics.
1.2.3. General description RSQ 450 series
The RSQ rescue boat, 450 series are being designed for long time operations.
It has been designed especially to rescue people in distress as well as to marshal life
rafts. The rescue boat is capable of carrying at least 5 seated persons and 1 person
laying on a stretcher.

2015-07-14 8 RSQ 450 series
The RSQ 450 series are capable of manoeuvring at a speed of 6 knots as a minimum and
to maintain that speed for a period of at least 4 hours. It is optional to have bigger
engines up to 40HP which will increase the top speed and bollard pull.
Marshalling or towing of life rafts can be done by using the two bollards which are
permanently fitted at the stern of the rescue boat.
It shall be clear that the capacity of the outboard engine depends on the size of the
largest life raft.
In the unfortunate event of capsizing, the RSQ 450 series rescue boat can be up righted
by two persons.
To make this possible, the rescue boat has been provided with a righting rope and
various handgrips on gunwale and bottom. Moreover the rescue boat is fitted with grab
lines at starboard and portside.
The RSQ 450 series rescue boat has been executed with one aft bench and two seats in
the front.
Between the front seats there is a safe and easily accessible area for a person lying on a
stretcher. The aft bench is permanently fitted and fully integrated into the hull
construction. The aft bench offers 2 seats.
Although the rescue boat has adequate sheer, it has been provided with a bow cover to
protect the crew from water spray. Nevertheless, the deck has been provided with a non-
skid surface and the boat is automatically self-bailing.
The RSQ 450 series rescue boat are designed, built and equipped to comply with the
following requirements:
