High Altitude Use; Cleaning Procedures; Repair Procedure; Small Tears, Cuts, And Puncture - Marine Power Quicksilver Betriebsanleitung

HIGH ALTITUDE USE

1. Normal full inflation pressure–is 250 mbar. If boat is inflated
at sea level (low altitude) and transported to a high altitude
(i.e., for use in a mountain lake) the air pressure must be
reduced at the higher altitude to prevent overinflation.

CLEANING PROCEDURES

After use, the boat (fabric and/or Rigid Inflatable Boat hulls
when applicable) and all components should be washed with
a mild soap and rinsed with fresh water.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use a vinyl preservative on fabric
surfaces. Chemicals in preservative will dry out fabric.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

SMALL TEARS, CUTS, AND PUNCTURE

1. The repair of a small leak or punctures less than 12.7 mm
can be made with a round patch, 76.2 mm diameter,
minimum.
2. Both patch and surface on boat must be dry and free of dirt
or grease.
3. Apply 3 thin, even coats of glue to surface of boat and
patch. Wait 5 minutes between each coat. After 3rd coat,
wait 10–15 minutes before placing patch on boat.
Use hard roller to press patch onto boat skin.
4. Wait a minimum of 24 hours before reinflating and using the
boat.
LARGE REPAIRS OF SKIN, SEAMS,
BULKHEADS, AND TRANSOM
It is recommended that boat be returned to selling dealer for all
large repairs.
If this is not possible, contact: dealer.

INSTALLING NEW CHECK VALVES

Lubricate check valve stem with silicone or soapy water
solution to ease installation.
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
As a boater, you already appreciate nature's beauty and the
peace of the great outdoors. It is a boater's responsibility to
protect the natural environment by keeping waterways clean.
Don't put anything in the water you wouldn't eat or drink!

FUEL AND OIL SPILLAGE

The spilling of fuel or oil into our waterways contaminates the
environment and is dangerous to wildlife. Never discharge or
dispose fuel or oil into the water; it is prohibited and you could
be fined. There are two common, accidental types of
discharge:
Overfilling the fuel tank
Pumping contaminated bilge water
CAUTION
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD: Fumes from rags can collect
in bilge and be extremely dangerous. Never store rags
used to wipe-up fuel or solvent spills in the boat. Dispose
of rags properly ashore.

DISCHARGE AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE

Waste means all forms of garbage, plastics, recyclables, food,
wood, detergents, sewerage and even fish parts in certain
water – in short, nearly everything. We recommend you bring
back everything you take out with you for proper disposal
ashore.
If you have a marine sanitation device (head or marine toilet)
installed, use an approved pump-out facility at your marine.
Many areas prohibit the discharge of sewerage overboard or
even an operable overboard waste discharge.

EXCESSIVE NOISE

Noise means engine noise or even yelling. Many bodies of
water have adopted noise limits. Don't use thru-transom
exhaust unless you're well offshore. Music and loud
conversation can carry a considerable distance on water,
especially at night.

WAKE AND WASH

Be alert for NO WAKE zones. You may be responsible for any
damage or injury caused by your wake/wash. Prior to entering
a NO WAKE zone, come off plane to the slowest steerable
speed.

EXHAUST EMISSIONS

Increased exhaust (hydrocarbon) emissions pollute our water
and air. Keep your engine tuned and boat hull clean for peak
performance. Consult your dealer and engine manual for
information.

PAINTS

If your boat is kept in water where marine growth is a problem,
the use of anti-fouling paint may reduce the growth rate. Be
aware of environmental regulations that may govern your paint
choice. Contact your local boating authorities for information.

CLEANING AGENTS

Household cleaners should be used sparingly and not
discharged into waterways. Never mix cleaners and be sure to
use plenty of ventilation in enclosed area. DO NOT use
products which contain phosphates, chlorine, solvents,
non-biodegradable or petroleum based products. Citrus based
cleaners are excellent for marine cleaning purposes and are
safe for you and the environment.
