8.1.2 Fuel powered devices and ventilation
The exhaust gases of fuel-powered devices are
extremely dangerous if exposure is long-term.Over-ex-
posure to carbon monoxide can be lethal.Exhaust gases
may enter the interior of the boat in, for example, the
following circumstances:
1. The boat’s engine is running but the boat stays in
place.
2. Exhaust gas systems are blocked.
3. When driving at a high trim angle.
4. Hatches and covers are closed when the engine is
running or other fuel-powered devices are in use.
When the boat’s engine is running but the boat remains
in place, always make sure that the cabin is suciently
ventilated and keep ventilation ducts open.Never block
ventilation ducts.
WARNING !
Never leave the boat unattended when the stove or
heater is on.
Fuel-powered devices with an open flame
consume oxygen and release combustion
gasses into the cabin. When using such devices,
make sure that the cabin is suciently well venti-
lated and keep ventilation ducts open. Never block
ventilation ducts. Check regularly that the devices
function as they should.
Heater and stove parts may become damaged if
using the wrong type of fuel.
