Man-Overboard Prevention And Recovery - Highfield Ultralite Série Manuel Du Propriétaire

Man-overboard prevention and recovery

1. Man-overboard prevention
a) The zones outside the working deck area are the red hatched area as above.
b) The "working deck" means those areas where people stand or walk during normal use of the boat.
c) Standing on the bow locker or sundeck is prohibited.
2. Recovery-getting back onboard
The means for getting back onboard must be able to be deployed by one person alone in the water, with no
other help. We recommend the use of a rope ladder (not supplied with the boat). Illustrations of rope ladders for
information purpose only:
Danger
Make sure the means for getting back onboard are readily accessible and easy to use by someone alone in the
water
3. Danger from moving parts
Keep the engine off whenever the engine box/cover/hatch is open. The engine box/cover/hatch serves as a
machinery guard. Clothing or body parts can get caught in moving parts, causing death or serious injury. Keep
away from moving part.
Danger
Contact with a spinning propeller can cause injury and death.
Do not enter or exit the water when the engine is running (ON) and the propeller is spinning.
Do not get on the swim platform when the engine is running.
Do not swim towards the back of the boat if the engine is on.
