In case of an emergency it is very important that the occupants know how to handle the lifeboat and it´s equipment. All personel should study this manual at lifeboat drills, to make themselves thorougly conversant with the system and to ensure a speedy and safe launching in an emergency. The technical specifications are not binding and can be altered without prior notice. In case of enquiries regarding existing boats please quote the details given below: Boat type: Building no.: Boatyard Ernst Hatecke GmbH Am Ruthenstrom 1 21706 Drochtersen Phone: 0049-(0)4143-9152-0 Fax: 0049-(0)4143-9152-40 E-mail: email@Hatecke.de www.hatecke.de At launching: 1. The occupants should always use the same seat. 2. In an emergency situation, the boat should be launched with the engine running. Where lifeboat drills are being carried out, start the engine and run it for a short time and then switch off before launching the boat. Start the motor again when the boat is afloat. 3. Lifejackets should not be worn during the launching of the boat, but should be taken on board and put on as soon as the boat is afloat. The wearing of a lifejacket during launching may lead to injury! 4. Check before launching that the impact area is free from floating objects. 5. During the launching period (release/water-borne) the boat occupants must ensure that their heads remain close to the head rests provided at each seat. 6. As soon as the boat is afloat, the hydraulic release piston should be brought back to its housed position. Lifting the boat back on board: 1. Before leaving the seat, loosen the seat belt. The boat lifting sling(s) should be put into the crane hook(s) from the aft platform. Do not stand on the cabin roof. 2. Before setting the boat back into the launching ramp, the securing hook on the ramp cross-strut should be put in the "open" position. 3. Once the boat is back in the launching ramp and secured in place, open vents, connect the battery charger cable (if any) and start the charger. 1.1.3 Handling and use of freefall-lifeboats Boatyard Ernst Hatecke GmbH, Am Ruthenstrom 1, 21706 Drochtersen, Phone: 0049-(0)4143-9152-0, Fax: 0049-(0)4143-9152-40, E-mail: email@Hatecke.de, www.hatecke.de Hull and canopy: The complete boat is constructed of G.R.P. material using selfextinguishing resins.
