Emergency Procedures
5.1
Battery Failure
In the unlikely event of a battery failing, or where extra power is needed to
either, start an engine or power onboard electrics / electronics the Services Battery
can be linked to the Port and / or Starboard batteries. This should only be used in
emergency situations where one battery does not have sufficient power and the
power of another battery is required. Please note that when a link is turned off it
remains linked for ten minutes.
Ensure that any battery faults are rectified as soon as is practical. Do not
launch the craft with such a problem.

Fire Safety Precautions
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions.
Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the
craft when refuelling or inspecting fuel tanks.
Do not use adhesives or solvents in the presence of an open flame, sparks or
hot surfaces. Observe no smoking when repairs are being carried out.

In Case of Fire
In the event of an engine fire the automatic extinguishers in the engine lid

end of the engine housing.
