DANGER
Cooling fluid hot. When the engine temperature is high, the cooling
system is under pressure and the hot fluid can spill over when you
remove the radiator plug. Therefore, before removing it, wait until the
system has cooled down, then turn the plug up to the first notch and
release the system’s pressure.

CAUTION
If damaged, the hydraulic hoses may cause death, carry out
appropriate periodical checks to verify the presence of:
• damaged fittings;
• wear of outer coatings as consequence of rubbing;
• swelling of outer coatings;
• bent or squashed pipes;
• fittings not properly located.
S
CAUTION
Oil is poisonous: do not swallow it. The engine oil contains dangerous
polluting agents which can generate skin tumours. Handle oil as less as
possible, protect your skin with creams and gloves. Wash accurately
with warm water and soap the skin eventually polluted with oil: do not
use gasoline, diesel or petroleum and anyway seek expert medical
help.
S
CAUTION
Hydraulic oil sprayed at high pressure penetrates the skin: do not
check for possible oil leaks with your fingers, nor approach your face to
them. Use a cardboard blank to verify the possible presence of
hydraulic oil. If oil penetrates the skin, ask immediately for a doctor for
the relevant treatment.
S
CAUTION
Clean the cylinders of the trim tabs periodically, to remove possible
dirt drifts, which can jeopardize their efficiency. To reduce the corrosion
risk, pull back the rods each time you leave or you harbour the yacht.
S
CAUTION
The cleaning of the metallic parts with non suitable solvents may cause
corrosion; use detergents and solvents of the prescribed type only.
