lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 8 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM SAFETY Your safety and that of your passengers and fellow boaters is YOUR responsibility. Before launching your boat, you should completely read and understand this Operator’s Guide, product warnings and labels, the Safety Videocassette and other information provided with your craft or by your dealer. Heed and follow all warnings, safety precautions and operating procedures.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 9 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM – Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO), which can cause injury or death if inhaled in sufficient quantities. Do not operate the craft in a confined area or allow CO to accumulate in or around the craft, or in enclosed or sheltered areas. – Combustion engines need air to operate; consequently this craft can not be totally watertight.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 10 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM – Always use the lanyard stop switch when operating the boat and ensure that all passengers are familiar with its use. – Ensure that any operator and all passengers know how to swim and how to re-board the sport boat from the water. If a passenger does not know how to swim, ensure that passenger wears a PFD at all times and take extra precautions when boating. Regarding Fuel and Fueling...
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 11 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM A PFD provides buoyancy to help keep your head above the water and to help you remain in a satisfactory position while in the water. Body weight and age should be considered when selecting a PFD. The buoyancy provided by the PFD should support your weight in water. The size of the PFD should be appropriate for the wearer. Body weight and chest size are common methods used to size PFDs.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 12 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM F00A2FY TYPE IV — THROWABLE PFD Type V, Wearable must be worn. When inflated, it provides buoyancy equivalent to Type I, Il or III PFDs. When it is deflated, however, it may not support some people. F00A2GY TYPE V — WEARABLE PFD Pointers The purpose of a PFD is to help save your life. If you want it to support you when you are in the water, it needs to fit, float, and be in good condition.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 13 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM Some points to remember about hypothermia protection: 1. While afloat in the water, do not attempt to swim unless it is to reach a nearby craft, fellow survivor, or a floating object on which you can lean or climb. Unnecessary swimming increases the rate of body heat loss. In cold water, drown-proof methods that require putting your head in the water are not recommended. Keep your head out of the water.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 14 Tuesday, August 12, 2003 10:39 AM Sound Signaling Devices NOTE: No single signaling device is appropriate for all purposes. Consider keeping various types of equipment on board. Boats less than 26 feet (7.9 m) in length are required to carry a hand, mouth, or power operated horn or whistle. It must produce a blast of two second duration and audible at a distance of at least one-half (1/2) mile (800 m).
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 15 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM Carbon Monoxide and Boating Burning a material containing carbon produces carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless and colorless gas. Because CO weighs the same as air, it can spread throughout an enclosed space unnoticed because you cannot see it or smell it. Any device used to burn carbon-based materials on a boat can be a source of CO. Common sources of CO include internal combustion engines.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 16 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM Carbon Monoxide Accumulation Following are examples of possible situations where CO may accumulate within your boat while docked, anchored, or underway. Become familiar with these examples and their precautions to prevent personal injury or death. WARNING Exhaust Fumes! Generator or hull exhaust from other vessels while either docked or anchored can emit poisonous CO gas and cause excessive accumulation within cabin and cockpit areas.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 17 Tuesday, August 12, 2003 9:37 AM While underway, CO concentrations can increase by backdrafting or “the station wagon effect”. Backdrafting is caused by factors such as relative wind direction, speed, or the bow being too high. To prevent this, open canvas whenever possible to provide positive airflow through the hull. Boat houses, seawalls, and other boats in close proximity or confined areas can contribute to increased CO levels.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 18 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM Lanyard Stop Switch Safe Boating Practices This safety device automatically stops the engine if the lanyard is attached to the operator and the operator falls from the control station. Refer to the engine manual for detailed information about using this switch. The stop switch incorporates a shutoff switch, switch clip, lanyard, and lanyard clip. The lanyard clip must be securely attached to the operator’s PFD, clothing, arm, or leg.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 19 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM – Do not use the boat in weather or sea conditions beyond the skill or experience of the operator or the comfortable capability of the boat or passengers. – Be sure at least one other passenger is familiar with the operation and safety aspects of the boat in case of an emergency. – Make sure that passengers and gear do not obstruct the operator's view or ability to move.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 20 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM Know the waters in which the craft is to be operated. Current, tides, rapids, hidden obstacles, wakes and waves etc. can affect safe operation. It is not advisable to operate the craft in rough or inclement weather. Remember these Rules of the Road Know the Right of Way Rules Generally keep to your right and safely avoid other craft by keeping a safe distance from other craft, people and objects.
lmo2004-004a_safety.fm Page 21 Wednesday, August 6, 2003 11:18 AM – While your craft has the capacity of operating at high speeds, it is strongly recommended that high speed operation only be applied when ideal conditions exist and are permitted. Higher speed operation requires a higher degree of skill and increases the risk of severe injuries. – In shallow water, proceed with caution and at very low speeds. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in injury.
