RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER: For maximum safety and enjoyment of your new TARTAN, due regard must be given to the hazards of sailing and to proper maintenance procedures. The following is a partial list of items that are the responsibility of the owner for the safe operation of your yacht. However, this must be considered only a partial list of the safety obligations of the owner to be used as a guideline.
Page 68
Proper Lifting: The careful placement of the lifting straps used to lift your TARTAN is very important to avoid damaging the propeller shaft, and to assure that the center of gravity of the yacht is midway between the straps. Additional caution should be exercised to avoid placing a strap in contact with a speedometer or depth finder thru-hull fitting.
Page 69
COMMISSIONING LIST: The following is a list of minimum commissioning duties to be performed by both the boat owner and the dealer. Additional operations may be required dependent on the model and equipment thereon. PRIOR TO LAUNCH: Exterior: q Check hull, deck, shaft and keel, etc, for shipping damage and repair as needed. Prep bottom and apply bottom paint including centerboard and inside of truck (if applicable).
Page 70
q Attach upper shrouds loosely. q Chock mast in partners. q Tighten the mast tie down rod(s) if necessary. q Attach headstay. q Use either main halyard or main boom topping lift to measure from side to side in vessel and tighten upper shrouds so masthead is centered in boat.
Page 71
q Fill water tank(s) and check operation of water system for leaks as well as the hot water if included. q Check head operation, holding tank and macerator pump. Operate bilge pump(s). NOTE: if auto pump is installed, adjust switch level and assure that auto switch is not blocked by bilge hoses.
Page 72
Re-tension all rigging if necessary. q If excess headstay sag is apparent, adjust furler or tension backstay.
