Non-swimmers such as children and handicapped
people should wear their life jacket at all mes. A
throwable otaon device, such as a ring, should
also be easily reached onboard.
Fire extinguisher
Keep your re exnguisher where it is easy to
reach. Make sure you know how to use the re
exnguisher as soon as you take it onboard by
reading the user manual.
Never face the wind direcon when using the re
exnguisher and point the exnguisher at the
source of the re.
When an exnguisher has been used, for no maer
what length of me, it must be delivered to an
authorised dealer to be relled.

dark or when visibility is poor.
