Air chamber defect
Yournemaxxinatableboatisequippedwithmorethanoneairchamber.Forthisreasontheboatretainsat
least 50% of its buoyancy when an air chamber is pierced and air escapes. Shift the weight to the other side. If
necessary, seal the leaking chamber (by tying or holding it up) and immediately set course for shore or mother
ship (whichever is closer). Pay special attention to shoals or reefs as they may scratch the boat and cause
further damage.
Landing (beaches)
DO NOT place the boat on the beach under engine power, pull it over rocks, sand, gravel or paving, as this
may damage the boat skin.
Sunlight
The boat should not be exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Changing the air pressure in the tubes can
damage the boat. Excessive exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet rays) over a longer period of time may accelerate
the ageing of the material.
Protect and cover the boat from direct sunlight. In addition, the use of a boat cover, tarpaulin is recommended
to avoid e.g. deposits of exhaust gases (soot).
If the boat is to be temporarily left on a beach, part of the boat should be left in the water to dissipate the inter-
nal heat generated by sunlight, which increases air pressure.
Smoking
Avoid smoking, especially when refuelling the boat. Portable fuel tanks should be placed on a padded base
and securely fastened to the boat with a strap to avoid impact and the risk of damage during travel.
Refuelling
Always follow the recommendations below when refuelling:
● If possible, remove portable tanks from the boat for refuelling.
● Fillthetanksinafreeareaawayfromheatsources,sparksorames.
● Donotllthetankstothebrim.Thefuelexpandsasthetemperaturerises,causingthefueltooverowor
even burst the tank.
Operation at altitudes
Iftheboathasbeeninatedatsealevel(lowaltitude)andthentransportedtohigheraltitudes(e.g.foroperati-
on in a mountain lake), the pressure at altitudes must be reduced to avoid overpressure.
Water hazards
● Wrecks, reefs, rocky shores, sandbanks and shoals should be avoided or approached with caution.
● If you are sailing in unknown waters, inform yourself about the local water hazards before take-off.
