Page 40: When Leaving The Jetty
When driving at high speed Although Eelex 8000 has passed the CE requirements for swerve tests at full speed, we do not recommend making sharp turns at high speed. When exceeding a certain speed limit passengers may loose footing or grip and be thrown from the boat.
Page 41: When Driving In Rough Seas
Avoid sudden steering maneuvers at high speeds. • The turning radius is affected by the direction of rotation of the propeller. The propeller of Eelex 8000 is right-handed, which results in a smaller turning radius to port than to starboard.
Page 42: When Maneuvering In Narrow Channels
In a head sea Adjust speed to suit the size of the waves. In a following sea Planing boats can be particularly exposed in rough following seas. The stern of the boat rises, and the rudder does not answer, so the boat broaches while the bow cuts down into the sea. Remember to do the following: •...

Page 53 WARNING • Any work on a high-voltage lithium-ion battery is strictly forbidden without permission from X Shore. • Do not open any high-voltage lithium-ion batteries without authorization. • Do not expose a high-voltage lithium-ion battery to external heating sources and direct sunlight. Risk of fire if the battery temperature exceeds 60 °C.
Page 54: Response In Case Of Battery Malfunction
To avoid damage to the batteries do not use the battery compartment as a storage area. The battery compartment is designed to protect the batteries. Although the batteries are designed to withstand direct environmental influences, the service life of a battery may be reduced if the battery is exposed to for example corrosive media (such as water) or aggressive media.
Page 55 Liquid escaping from a high-voltage lithium-ion battery is usually a liquid used for controlling the temperature of the battery and not battery electrolyte. Only small quantities (milliliters) of electrolyte are distributed across the individual cells. Escaping cooling liquid or heating liquid can cause suffocation near the floor in enclosed spaces. Ensure sufficient ventilation before approaching a damaged battery.
