IMPORTANT SAFETY
RECOMMENDATION: The
five-yearly dynamic overload
davit winch brake test should
be executed with a PROOF
LOAD and NOT with the boat
(revised SOLAS III/Reg.
20.11.1.3 in Res.
MSC.152(78))
Reason: The forces occurring
during such test can not be
predicted but are usually
between 2 and 3 times the
weight of the fully loaded boat,
sometimes maybe even
higher! This might cause
undetectable damages in
rescue boat GRP structures
which might lead to later
failure when in use with
persons!
Also davit brake failure during
this test will lead to serious
damages to the boat.
FASSMER THEREFORE
REJECTS ANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
DAMAGES OCCURRED TO
THE BOAT DUE TO USE OF
THE BOAT FOR DYNAMIC
OVERLOAD DAVIT WINCH
BRAKE TEST.
!
NO person shall be in the boat
during a dynamic winch brake
test. A system failure can drop
the boat and KILL YOU or
cause serious injuries!
