WARNI NG!
Danger to life from a boat which is not manoeuvrable!
This can result in severe physical injuries or death.
Before starting a trip, inform yourself of the intended travel area, and take
note of the predicted weather and water conditions.
Depending on the size of the boat, keep the typical safety equipment ready
(anchor, paddles, means of communication, auxiliary drive if necessary).
Check the system for mechanical damage before setting out on a trip.
Do not use the system unless it is in proper working order.
The Travel system may be handled only by appropriately qualified persons who
have the necessary physical and mental aptitude. Comply with the relevant na-
tional regulations.
As the operator of the boat, you are responsible for the safety of the people on
board, and for all marine craft and persons in your vicinity. It is therefore essen-
tial that you comply with the basic rules of conduct of navigation, and that you
read these instructions thoroughly.
Particular care is required when people are in the water, even if the boat is mov-
ing at a slow speed.
Comply with the boat manufacturer's instructions regarding the permitted mo-
torisation of your boat. Do not exceed the stated loading and power limits.
Check the status and all functions of the Travel system (including Emergency
Stop) at low power before every trip, see Chapter 11.2, "Maintenance inter-
vals".
Become familiar with all controls of the Travel system. Above all, you should be
capable of stopping the Travel system quickly if necessary.
