5.7 Explosiveatmospheresandpreventionofrehazards
5.7.1 Engine and fuel system
TheLxhasaxedfueltank,whichisattachedtothebilgeareaabout1meterfromthetransom.
The Buster L1, L2, M2, S, S1, Scc, and Mini have removable fuel tanks. Stop the engine and
extinguishanynakedamesandcigarettesbeforellingthefueltank.Donotoperateany
electricalequipmentwhilellingthefueltank.
Inmodelswithaxedfueltank,thellercap( ) is located on the right deck. The Buster Lx
hasvisiblellingholes.OtherBustermodelshavellingholesbeneaththecoverofthelockable
ropebox.Detachabletanksmustbeliftedoutoftheboatforllingtoensurethatfuelisnotable
tospillintothebilgeifthetankisoverlled.
If you refuel your boat at a petrol station, do not use a plastic funnel that prevents the static
chargebetweenthepistolandthellerholefromdischarging.Afteryouhavelledthetank,
make sure that no fuel has spilled into the bilge and clean up any splashes of fuel immediately
(seeFuelTankVolume;Appendix2:Technicalspecications).
There is space for the detachable fuel tank on the Buster L1, L2, M2, S, S1, Scc, and Mini
beneath the aft bench in the cockpit. With the exception of the Buster Mini, the aforementioned
boats also have space for a second fuel tank. Do not store spare tanks in unventilated spaces
or unsecured. Equipment that contains fuel may only be stored in compartments that are
designed for the purpose.
Check the fuel lines annually for wear and tear. The locations of fuel system components are
presented in Appendix 3.
5.7.2 Fire-ghtingandreprotection
TheBusterLx,L1,L2,M2,andMccareequippedwitha2kgcategory13A70BCpowderre
extinguisher as described in Appendix 3. The location of the extinguisher is indicated by a
symbol that is visible in the cockpit.
Allreextinguishersaresubjecttoannualinspection.Fireextinguishersolderthan10years
mustalsopassapressuretest.Iftheoriginalreextinguisherisreplaced,theminimum
extinguishing capacity of the new extinguisher must be 8A 68B
Alwaysensurethatallre-ghtingequipmentiseasilyaccessible,whethertheboatisempty
orloaded.Adviseallcrewmembersofthelocationandcorrectoperationofthere-ghting
equipment.
Make sure that no fuel spills into the bilge and check the boat for fuel leaks at regular intervals.
The smell of petrol is a clear sign of a fuel leak.
Keep the following in mind:
• Neverblockaccesstosafetyequipmentsuchasthereextinguisherorthemainswitchfortheelectricalsystem.Ifthe
storagespaceinthebowoftheboat(wherethereextinguisherislocated)islocked,remembertounlockitwhenever
you use the boat.
• Never cover the ventilation openings of the boat designed for the ventilation of fuel fumes.
• Neveraltertheboat'selectricalorfuelsystemsorallowanunqualiedpersontomodifyanyoftheboat'ssystems.
• Never attempt to switch fuel tanks by removing the fuel pipe from the detachable fuel tank when the motor is in use.
• Neverllthefueltankorhandlefuelwhentheengineisrunning.
• Neversmokeoruseanakedamewhenhandlingfuel.
5.8 Electrical system
The locations of the boat's electrical equipment are shown in Appendix 1, Figure 3.
The wiring diagrams of the electrical system are shown in Appendix 4.
The main switch on the Buster S1, Scc, M2, L1, L2 and Lx is located inside the rear bench on
theleftsideoftheboatonthesideofthebatteryenclosure.Theswitchhasthesymbols0=o󰀨
andI=on.However,theautomaticbilgepumpandtheradio'smemorycircuitremainoperational
whenever the battery is attached to the electrical system, regardless of the position of the main
switch.
The fuses on the Buster S1, Scc, M2, L1, L2 and Lx are located on the side of the battery
