The Maximum Load is the sum of the maximum recommended load and the total mass of the various liquids (potable or not). Nota bene: due to the trim and loading of the boat, is it not usually possible to use the whole of the various tank capacities for fresh water and diesel.
III. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Safety and operating instructions for the electrical system WARNING Improper use of the DC and/or AC systems may give rise to fire or explosion hazards. Improper use of the AC systems may give rise to electric shock hazards. Always: ●...
Batteries The battery system comprises 3 140 Ah auxiliary battery (standard) and 2 additional 140 Ah batteries (optional) and one 140 Ah battery for starting the engine. Their capacities have been designed to handle the power requirements of the on-board accessories.
220 / 110 volt installation (ISO 13297: 2000) DANGER! The on-board 220 V installation is protected by a circuit breaker and fitted with a residual current device. The wiring of additional 220 V on-board accessories must be carried out by professionals, and the master circuit-breaker uprated if necessary.
IV. GAS INSTALLATION Operating advice Read carefully all instructions for cooker and regulator before use or maintenance. Ensure that the gas cylinder and regulator are in accordance with the requirements of the cooker (flow rate, pressure, type of gas) and with the regulations in force in the country where it is being used.
Checking the system (ISO 10239: 2000) Check the LPG installation for leaks regularly. Test the LPG system for leaks before use. Check that all connections are gas-tight as follows: - close all valves on appliances - open the valve on the cylinder - wait for the pressure to stabilize - close the valve on the cylinder - watch the pressure level for 3 minutes;...
DRAIN & SANITATION SYSTEM Drainage system characteristics(ISO 15083: 2003) Pump type Theoretical flow rate Manual 38 L @ 45 strokes/minute 12V Electrical 3900 L / h Automatic 12V 2820 L / h Read the operating and maintenance instructions for your boat’s bilge pump carefully. WARNING The bilge pump system is not designed to handle water entering as a result of holing of the hull.
Seacocks Seacocks are of the ¼-turn type: - OPEN position: handle in line with seacock body, - CLOSED position: handle perpendicular to seacock body. Vanne ouverte Vanne fermée OPEN position CLOSED position ATTENTION! ● Never interfere with the tightening of the seacocks to the hull. In the event of a leak, consult a professional.
VI. FLOODING To avoid the risk of flooding the boat: - Before putting to sea, always check that portholes, deck hatches and any other openings that could allow flooding are shut. - While under way, close all seacocks when they are not in use, except for the engine water intake.
WARNING If a CO extinguisher is fitted, the following information must be displayed close to its location: “This extinguisher contains CO - use only on electrical or cooker fires. To avoid suffocation after discharging, leave the area immediately. Ventilate before re- entering."...
VIII. ENGINE Regular maintenance must be carried out in accordance with the engine manufacturer’s recommendations. Read carefully the engine operating instructions that come with the boat. Do not hesitate to consult your agent or a qualified professional. In particular, follow the instructions for wintering.
Wintering Read carefully the operating and maintenance instructions for the engine that goes with your boat and the instructions for wintering. In the absence of other instructions, proceed as follows: Close the engine water intake seacock, Disconnect the pipe from the engine water intake seacock, Drain the sea-water circuit, Place the pipe into a drum of –25°...
Emergency tiller ATTENTION! ● The Dufour 560 is fitted with an emergency tiller which must be kept readily accessible; we advise stowing it in one of the nacelle cockpit lockers. ● It is designed only for sailing at reduced speed in the event of damage to the helm. To use it: - Unscrew the deck-plate to reveal the head of the rudder stock - Fit the tiller onto the head of the rudder stock.
XII. FALL PREVENTION AND MEANS OF GETTING BACK ABOARD While underway, it is recommended to move about on deck only in areas provided for this purpose. These areas (gangways, cockpit, roof, side seats, etc.) are provided with non-skid coatings or teak (depending on option selected) making it safe to move about. On the DUFOUR 560, within the bounds of the life-lines and with the exception of the smooth glass surfaces, you can safely move about the entire bridge.
WARNING During a thunderstorm, it is recommended that you should comply with the following instructions: ● People should stay below as much as possible. ● People should stay out of the water and not let their arms or legs hang into the water. ●...
XV. SAFETY FACILITIES There is no harmonization of mandatory safety equipment across the European Community. You should find out about current national requirements for CE-marked vessels. In France, the skipper is responsible for ensuring that recreational craft bearing the CE mark carry aboard the mandatory handling and safety equipment stipulated for the relevant sailing category.
XVII. MOORING, ANCHORING, AND TOWING ATTENTION! (ISO 15084:2003) ● The anchor points for mooring and / or towing are the 2 front cleats that have a breaking strain of about 9000 kg. The aft and central cleats can also be used for docking. They have a breaking strain of approximately 6000 kg.
