CAUTION
The Interceptors, as well as transmission systems, can suddenly change
the yacht direction if operated too rapidly or with high angles of incidence,
especially with increasing yacht speed and during maneuvers (as they
are usually sized and optimized for intermediate speed). It is therefore
necessary to get well familiar with their use and related devices reactions
in any condition and especially at high speeds.
CAUTION
As is good practice on a yacht, always make sure that passengers are
seated before performing large adjustment manoeuvres on the intercep-
tors, especially if you are navigating at high speed.
CAUTION
Periodically clean Interceptor to remove any corrosion that may affect
their efciency. To reduce the risk of corrosion, retract the cylinder rods
especially when the yacht is stopped for some time in the shore or on the
ground.
NOTE
For further information on use and maintenance, refer to the system man-
ufacturer’s manual.
