Axis A20 - Carpets and Non-Skid Deck Traction; Grab Handles

Carpetandnon-skiddecktractionareavailableinAxismodels.Theaddedcom-
fortrequiressomeadditionalattentiontotheinteriorofthedeck.Itisimportantto
allowthecarpet/mattodrybeforecoveringthedeckwithamooringcoverorother
canvas.(Thesnap-outcarpetscanberemovedtoairdry.)AlthoughAxiscarpets
areconstructedfrommarine-gradematerials,iftheydonotdrythoroughlybefore
storage,evenshort-duration,moldandmildewcansetin.Additionalinformationis
availableinthe Care and MaintenancesectionofthisOwner’sManual.
Thesnap-outcarpethardwareismadefromstainlesssteeltoresistrustandcor-
rosion.However,boatownersandoperatorsshouldroutinelycheckthatthesnaps
areingoodcondition.Anytimethesnap-outcarpetsarereinstalledonthedeck,be
certainthatthesnapsarefullyconnected.Otherwise,thecarpetcoulddislodgeor
move,causingpassengerstoslipandfall.
Ensure that snap-out carpets are secure prior to walking on them.
If the snaps are not fully connected, the carpet may not function as
designed. When dislodged, carpets and mats could cause a passenger
to slip and fall.
Models: The Corinthian carpet and non-skid deck traction are available as options on all
Axis models.
 Boatsareequippedwithgrabhandlesforadd-
edconvenienceandsafety.Handlesaregenerally
insidethedeckabovepassengerseatingandonthe
transom,centeredabovetheswimplatform.The
handlesassistboarding,particularlyfromtheswim
platformintothedeckarea.Duringboatopera-
tion,thegrabhandlesinsidethedeckcanprovide
additionalsecurityforpassengers.(Nooneshould
everbeontheswimplatformduringboatoperation.
Moreonthisinthe SafetysectionofthisOwner’s
Manual.)
 Thehandlesarecraftedfromstainlesssteel
oranodizedaluminumtoresistrustandcorrosion.Routinemaintenanceshould
includeregularcleaning.
