Engine; Emergency Switch; Refuelling; A Bilge Pump - Terhi Tender Eignerhandbuch

WARNING! At high speeds, adjust the engine trim angle
with care, as it will greatly change the behaviour of the
boat. Do not drive with the bow too low, otherwise the
boat might turn unexpectedly.
Water will drain from all planing Terhi models, when the
drain plug is opened during planing.
WARNING! Close the plug as soon as the boat is empty
of water, otherwise water will flow back into the boat
when you reduce speed. In the boat, be careful when
moving on surfaces not covered with anti-slip tapes.

2.6 Engine

If your boat is equipped with an engine, familiarise
yourself with its operation by reading the engine
manual. When installing the engine, please observe
the instructions supplied by the engine manufacturer
and your Terhi dealer. If your boat is to be left idle for
a longer period of time, switch off the power from the
main switch, if your boat has one.
WARNING! Observe the recommendations on the
manufacturer's plate concerning the maximum motor
power and weight.
NOTE! Do not use the main switch to cut the electric
current when the engine is running, as this may dam-
age the charger.

2.7 Emergency switch

All the newest models of outboard motor have an
emergency switch. Check the location of the emergen-
cy switch and read the user instructions in the engine
manual. The switch is usually used with a cotter-type
coupler and a lanyard. Carefully attach one end of the
lanyard to your wrist or clothing, and the other end to
the engine's emergency switch.
WARNING! A spinning propeller can be fatal for a
man overboard or swimmer. Stop the engine when-
ever a swimmer or water-skier is getting into the boat.
When you are boating alone, it is especially important
that the boat will stop if you fall overboard or trip over
in the boat. Under such circumstances, use the emer-
gency switch if your engine has one.

2.8 Refuelling

It is best to refuel at the quay or on shore to prevent
fuel from spilling into the boat. Fuel and oil splashes
must be wiped immediately from the surfaces of the
boat. Hazardous materials and objects (e.g. sparking
devices or flares) must not be stored in the tank stor-
age compartment.
WARNING! Before you start refuelling, stop the en-
gine.
2.9 Bilge pump
The bilge pump is fitted as standard on Terhi 480, 450
C, 450 Sloep, 450 CC and Nordic 6020 C Models. In
Terhi 480 the pump is located in the bilge under the
reat seat, in Terhi Nordic 6020 C in the draining well in
front of the rear seat and in Terhi 450 C and 450 CC it
is under the boat's plywood floor. The switch is on the
control panel of the steering console.
NOTE! Check the operation of the bilge pump at regu-
lar intervals. Clean the pump's suction holes of foreign
objects.
WARNING! The bilge pump is not designed to cope
with leaks caused by running aground or other acci-
dents.

2.10 Retro-fitting

In order to attach Terhi's own accessories, the sand-
wich construction comprises plywood support pieces
under the shell in the attachment points. If you wish
to fit other accessories, please observe the following
instructions: Drill a hole in the shell (e.g. an Ø 2 mm hole
for an Ø 4.8 mm screw) and wipe the surfaces. Add MS
Polymer sealing adhesive on the piece and fasten it
with acid proof screws. Do not over-tighten.
NOTE! The method described above is only suitable
for attaching light-weight components, such as a log
or depth finder. In order to facilitate the drawing of the
cables from the engine to the steering console, there
are two drawstrings in the installation tube.
