Preparation for Recovery: Reset of Release Hooks:
(This is only valid if boat is equipped with fixed release hook of Fassmer Duplex type)
If another hook is in place (attached to the davit) those hook instructions have to be observed.
!
Warning:
Ensure that the hooks are closed before recovering the boat!
Incomplete resetting of the release hooks can cause the
rescue boat to drop and death to occupants!
In case of problems refer to our trouble shooting section (chapter 7 of the
hook manual) or call for service.
Caution:
Never operate release handle with excessive force!
The Handle is blocked by an internal safety device (21) if the
hook is not in the recovery position
Hook up to 6.6t:
! Check if hook (6) is closed: arrow “A” to be at the notch on the side plate.

Warning:
If the hook position “A”, or the release bolts (9) are not
correctly aligned, or if the hooks or release handles (2) can not
easily be moved DO NOT USE THE HOOKS for hoisting
Attention:
Retrieval of rescueboats under seaway is extremely difficult.
Therefore, this is only recommended for action in harbours or
in very sheltered waters with the ship making no headway.
Max. 6 persons in this boat during hoisting.
