1.2 Safe operation
General • Read and understand this manual and any other documentation provided with your steering system. • Know and obey all applicable federal, state, and municipal laws and regulations that govern boating in your area. Dometic recommends all boat operators take a boating safety course. • Never operate a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Before every use • Perform the pre-trip inspection(s) described in your operator’s manual. WARNING! Do not operate the boat if any component is not in proper working order. It may result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a collision and/or ejection from the boat, causing property damage, personal injury, and/or death. During use • Wear a Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD). • Attach the engine shut-off lanyard to your PFD. • Do not allow anyone not familiar with the controls (steering, shift/throttle etc.) to operate the boat. After use • Rinse the steering cylinders thoroughly, using only fresh, clean water. • Do not use acetone, or cleaners containing ammonia, acids, or any other corrosive ingredients, on any steering components. • Some products formulated for cleaning fiberglass hulls are known to aggressively corrode stainless steel shafts. If using a hull cleaner, avoid overspray on the cylinders. Rinse off any overspray immediately with fresh, clean water. WARNING! The safety information below is intended to inform you of hazards that may be present when operating a boat equipped with Dometic controls. Read and understand this information.
