Page 137 The fresh water system is equipped with two autoclave pumps with elec- tronic regulator. • Less use of batteries as the pump only switches on at high flow rates; • Continuous pump operation eliminates the need for coupling and uncou- pling; • The stop of the pump in case of lack of water is present on both pumps; • Starting the pump at the minimum set pressure value. When a user opens, the device automatically starts the pumps, which stop when the user closes, after having brought the system back under pressure.
Page 138 CAUTION Regularly inspect the fresh water and bilge circuits for leaks. Repair any RIVA declines all liability for tampering made by third parties to equipment leaks by releasing the pressure in the system, in order to avoid damaging installed by the Shipyard itself.

Component Maintenance Notes and precautions Fresh water system Checks In case of need or of maintenance, by acting on the valves installed on the dis- tribution manifolds, it is possible to cut out parts of the system or single uses, without involving the operation of the general system.
Page 148 Component Maintenance Notes and precautions Autoclave pump Cleaning and checks The maintenance of the pump should be serviced by qualified personnel only, after having been disconnected from the power mains. No routine maintenance is required so long as the following precautions are taken: • In case of freezing risk, it is necessary to empty the pump body; then refill the pump before operating it but make sure the ambient temperature is higher than the water freezing temperature.
Page 149 Component Maintenance Notes and precautions Autoclave pump Cleaning and checks WARNING The surge tank pump is self-priming but it needs though, in order to oper- ate, to have its body filled with liquid. For a correct use, we recommend priming first or after a long period of idling, to fill the pump body with liquid, to check the pressure inside the tank (it must have the same pressure priming the electric pump) and to verify the clockwise rotation of the pump (seen from the engine side). WARNING If the control panel shows the operation of the pump is active but nobody is using the subservient uses, check for leaks.

Troubleshooting procedure EXHAUST SYSTEM The main reason for a poor start-up or lack of power is the result of a clogged filter or of an air leak in the fuel system. 8.9.1 Engine exhausts If the device does not prime or does not hold the idle run, or air bubbles are visible through the check glass, first of all check the cover by means of the T-handle and vent it, if it had not been closed properly.
Page 264 WARNING When starting the engines, check that water comes out of the exhausts; this means that the engines cooling system works correctly and that the exhaust is cooled. Accelerate if no water comes out. If the problem continues, contact the Service Department.

Page 370 12.13.4 Navigation with one only engine The yacht is driven by two powerful propulsion systems designed to operate DANGER together and at the same time. In case of failure of one of the propulsion It is absolutely forbidden to perform reverse run with one of the two en- systems, you may navigate with only one engine.
Page 371 12.14 ENGINE EMERGENCY SUCTION FROM THE BILGE In the engine room there is the bilge emergency draining system, which op- erates with shunters (1), which allow using the sea water pumps, driven by the propulsion engines as draining pumps. The shunters (1) are valves which, in normal position, ensure the sea water suction for engine cooling, through the sea cocks and the sea water strain- ers.

12.14.1 Operating diagram All valves are provided in the SEA-OPEN position. SEA OPEN Before proceeding with the installation, visually check the passage and that the wording through the handwheel window reads: APERTO MARE / SEA OPEN. The direction of the water flow through the valve must align whit the arrow on each valve.
Page 374 To enable water inlet from SENTINA / BILGE, proceed as follows: Raise the handwheel lever Tighten the pin until it stops. Unscrew the pin as far as it will go Turn the handwheel clockwise until it stops. In this phase the shutter, located in its housing, offers resistance.

Page 376 Hauling and launching operations have to be carried out only by skilled personnel and in qualified shipyards and under their direct responsibility. RIVA declines all responsibility for damage to property and harm to per- sons caused by the wrong performance of the hereunder listed operations.
Page 377 Cradles RIVA is capable of providing the cradles for a correct support of the yacht (op- tional on demand). RIVA is not responsible for any damage resulting from the CAUTION use of cradles different from those expressly produced by RIVA.
Page 378 RIVA is therefore not responsible for any damage to the yacht occurring while the yacht is at dry shore on supports.
Page 379 12.16 DRAWING THE YACHT IN CASE OF FAILURE (OR TOWING) In case the yacht needs to be drawn or towed, fasten the towing lines as shown in the figure, in order to distribute the load evenly and pull in the middle. It is a good rule, after fastening the cleats, to carry on with the rope, and the winch: so as to load the strongest yacht’s points only.
Page 380 WARNING CAUTION In case it is necessary to tow another yacht, do this under calm sea and Fasten your yacht to a towing rope so that it can be released when loaded. calm wind conditions only, and tow ship with a displacement not exceed- ing 50% of your ship displacement;...

12.17 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS OF THE SHIP Crossing situation When two power driven yachts are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the yacht which has the other on its own starboard side shall keep out of the Ship in sight way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead We can consider three ways of encountering another yacht on the water: of the other yacht.
Page 382 Overtaking situation An overtake is defined as when one yacht comes from a direction of over 22.5 degrees aft, with respect to the yacht that it intends to overtake, in order that the stern lights can be seen but none of the side lights. If you find yourselves overtaking a slower yacht, which is in your path, you are the burdened yacht.
