1.1.1 In the interest of safety
WARNING
1. Before launching close all hatches and the entrance door.
2. Secure all items and fasten seat belts (adjust to your size).
3. Don´t wear lifejackets during freefall launching. Failure to observe this procedure may
lead to serious injury or death!
4. Keep out of the way of the propeller.
5. Always keep hands and feet clear when near moving and rotating machinery.
6. Before starting the engine, read it´s instruction manual.
7. Pyrotechnics in the inventory case are EXPLOSIVES.
8. During operation of davit be cautious with long links, snap hooks and counter weights.
9. DO NOT open the engines cool water filler cap when hot.

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

Hull and canopy:
The complete boat is constructed of G.R.P. material using selfextinguishing resins.
The hull is of round frame constructions, with a fine entry for high speed and good freefall
immersion characteristics.
The boat has a transom stern with a rescue platform at waterline level designed to assist in
bringing on board those being rescued.
The canopy is of double skin construction designed to act as buoyancy to make the boat
self-righting even when partly flooded.
The innerbottom has hatches to the storage and engine compartmen.
The external hull and canopy are orange coloured (RAL 2004), the internal surfaces are
light green (RAL 6019)
Engine:
The engine fitted is a water-cooled (closed system) diesel engine and is installed below the
cabin sole and gives a boat speed in exess of 6 knots.

Close all hatches and vents.
Fasten seat belts.
Close the valve screw (pos.1), operate the hydraulic
pump (pos.2). (After abt. 20 strokes the locking device
will disengage - the boat is now free.)
CAUTION:
Before replacing the boat in the launching ramp, the
hydraulic piston should brought back into its housed
position by opening the valve screw (pos.1)
EMERGENCY RELEASE:
Operate only when mainrelease system is damaged.
Close the valve screw (pos. 3).
Operate the emergency release pump (pos. 4). (After abt. 30 strokes the locking device
will disengage - the boat is now free.)
CAUTION:
Before replacing the boat in the launching ramp, the hydraulic piston should be brought
back into its housed position by opening the valve screw (pos. 3). After replacing the boat
in the launching ramp the valve (pos. 3) should remain in the open position.

Air supply system:
To supply the boat with fresh air in case of passage through fire or a cloud of gas the boat
is equipped with bottles of compressed air.
The quantity of compressed air is sufficient to supply passengers and engine with fresh air
for 10 minutes.
The compressed air bottles 1 (50 ltrs.x200 bar) are connected to a joint pipe system 2 .
Through a valve 3 the compressed air passes into the pressure reducer 4 .
The pressure reducer is so adjusted, that it will supply the fresh air for 10 minutes into the
inner of the boat.
Refilling of the compressed air bottles
Unscrew the protection cap from the filler piece 5 and connect the high pressure hose
from the compressor. Make sure that the valve 3 is closed. Charge the bottles 1 until the
pressure gauge 7 shows a pressure of 200 bar (make sure that the bottles valves 6 are
opened. Disconnect the high pressure hose of the compressor and fit the protection cap to
the fillerpiece 5 . The air supply system is now ready for use.
