Axis A20 User Manual

Interior grab handles may be used by passengers to hold on to during
boat operation. The handles are sturdy surfaces, which means that if
an individual is thrown against them, bruising or abrasions may result.
If the boat is being operated in a manner that results in excessive
movement of the passengers, or if people are shoving each other, even playfully, at any time, injury is
possible. Axis strongly recommends that this kind of activity be avoided at all times. Do not use the han-
dles to secure or tie the boat up as this can cause damage that is not covered by warranty.
Models: All models. Locations vary. Operators and passengers should acquaint themselves
with the locations prior to operation.
 Apopularoptiononallmodelsistheheater.
Warmairisblownthroughaliquid/airheatexchang-

passengersshouldfamiliarizethemselveswiththe
locations.Theventshavesliding,directionalgatesthat
canredirecttheairow,orevenshutito.
 Theheateriscontrolledfromadashbutton.This

 Beawarethatoperationoftheheaterisadrain
onthebattery.ReviewtheElectrical sectioninthe
Dashes and Video ScreensportionofthisOwner’sManualforimportantinformationregarding
howtoavoidbecomingstrandedbyafullydischargedbatteryorbatteries.Payattentiontothe

 InboatsequippedwiththeSaltWaterpackage,glycolrunsthroughtheheatercore.In

Therefore,theenginemustberunninginordertohavewarmairowfromtheheater.Allowa

Never operate the heater within a conned space. This includes with
a canvas cover over the cockpit or bow area, with the stern of the boat
in a shallow area, or at the dock/shore with other boats or docks close
by. Any situation in which exhaust fumes are trapped or limited in disbursement could result in carbon
monoxide fumes within the deck. Carbon monoxide poisoning is addressed in the Safety section of this
Owner’s Manual, and should be avoided.
Models: (Optional) A three-outlet heater is available on all models. A dual heater with
accordion hoses is available on the A24.
