SAFETY REGULATIONS.

This manual contains recommendations and basic rules of conduct for using the boat in complete safety.Although it is not possible to offer safety information for all potential situations, in general it is recommended that you :

Regularly check which safety requirements are in force.

Maintain the boat and the onboard plants in optimum condition.

Have the boat inspected by the dealer where it was purchased or by an authorised mechanic at least once every year for your own safety and for maintaining the guarantee.

Always check weather and seagoing conditions before setting out.

For safe navigation, compare the design category of your boat with the table below.

When the tank is installed by the yard, the plant is prepared with a ground plait. The installation of the motor MUST FORESEE A PLAINT CONNECTION to the boat ground plait.

Failure to connect (or failed maintenance) can result in the tank perforating leading to a serious risk of fire / explosion caused by leaking fuel.

Max number of transportable persones is referred to an established weight of 75 kg per person (ISO 6185), so always make reference to total maximum transportable weight.

The max weight of the installable motors indicates the maximum overall weight applicable on the stern board, including any emergency motors. NEVER exceed the stated value.

ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT FIRE DANGER .

Fire may be caused by:

Crew negligence when smoking, the presence aboard of flammable liquids, electrical contacts, propulsion motor, errors in fueling, or if maintenance has not been performed as required.

Once again, it is important that the crew behave correctly and that the boat is kept in order to avoid serious damage to it and to persons.

Easily flammable products must not be kept aboard.

BATTERY: the battery may cause sparks or explosions. It must be stored in an appropriate container, easily reached and well aired, AWAY FROM FUEL OR INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS.

Periodically check that the clips are tight and protect them with appropriate insulation in order to prevent sparks or the spread of current.

However, if a fire does occur aboard, stop motor, disconnect the batteries immediately, check to see if it is an electrical component or any case a small-scale fire that does not involve flammable liquids, in which case use a suitable fire extinguisher to try and put the fire out completely.

Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment must not be kept in compartments with key lock, but in easily accessible and clearly indicated locations.

Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment should be checked periodically and replaced with the same or superior types if expired or inefficient.

Equip the boat with fire-fighting equipment before launch and use.

"BRIG" inflatable boats

Do not modify electrics of the boat.

Any modification, repair and planned maintenance may be made by authorized representative specialists only.

Do not touch the electrical equipment with wet hands.

When leaving the boat, remember to disconnect the batteries.

PREPARATION FOR EXPLOITATION.

In order to set the boat in the operation condition perform as follows:

— unfold the inflatable tube;

— mount the outboard motor on the transom in accodance with it's own installation instruction (manual of your outboard engine).

l I

NFLATION/DEFLATION OF THE BOAT TUBE.

The inflatable tube of the boat has five independent air-tight chambers. Before inflation it's necessary to set all valves in operating condition. In order to switch valve in operating condition, please press spindle 6 (Fig. D3) with your finger and rotate it clockwise until the spindle will be fixed. If this operation isn't possible, it means the valve already has been set in operating condition.

Fill the tube with air using the pump from the complete set. First fill two rear chambers, next two middle chambers. However, do not increase the pressure up to its operating value (the tube will be completely straightened). After that, please fill the fore chamber up to the rated pressure.

The rated pressure value is 0.15 bar (2.2 psi). Having completed filling, close the valve covers.

In order to discharge air from the tube chambers, open the valves (please press spindle 6 (Fig. D3) with your finger and rotate it anticlockwise until the spindle will be fixed).

Do not use compressors and/or other types of inflating equipments not approved by the boat builder.

Check the tube pressure before every navigation.

EAGLE 6

The rated pressure value is 0.15 bar (2.2 psi).

If the tube pressure more than nominal, deflate the tube slightly. Boat exploitation with board pressure more than nominal decreases boat service life.

— 25 —

2378G.01

Board air chambers are hermetical if they keep own form during 8 hours. In this case:

– primary pressure has to be nominal;

– input valves openings have to be tightly closed by caps.

l STORAGE BATTERY INSTALLATION.

In order to install the storage battery, perform next operations:

— open door of the stern compartment;

— install the storage battery into the battery container;

— connect the battery terminals with motor battery cord and battery disconnector;

— please, check efficiency of the electric equipment.

Before installation your storage battery read the BATTERY MANUAL carefully and ensure that you have understood all the described procedures.

BOAT TRANSPORTATION BY TRAILER.

Installed on a trailer (or on kell-blocks for storage) the boat should been laying on all surface of the Main loading area (keel line)

(see Fig. D11).

It is possible to install the boat on several reference points. Thereby the point of support (1) must be an obligatory, and the point of support (2), (3), (4) must be an additional.

Lateral roller supports can be used only with a view of prevention from tipping.

MAINTENANCE.

l

Main conditions of long service life is right and careful servicing. Avoid excessive increasing of pressure in the board, especially from heating by the sun rays.

l At the end of exploitation take off sand and dirt from boat surface, and carefully dry it.

l Avoid the water getting into the chambers. If a fuel or an oil gets to the boat surface it is necessary to wash the soiled place by soap water as soon as possible and dry.

l

Pay attention to the condition of bottom surfaces. If the cover is destroyed it is necessary to dry this element and restore the defend cover.

l

At the end of the season exploitation, prepare the boat to winter keeping. Clean boat surface from sand and dirt, and make the necessary repairs, if damages take place. If it is possible, keep the boat in open and slightly pumped state at air temperature 0-25°C.

The boat must be protected from the sun rays.

l

Insignificant boat repairing (eliminating the board punctures or cuts) you may carry out by yourself. In this case use the coated fabric and glue set for repair from the complete set.

The own fulfilment of any complex repair associated with considerable damages to the board, partitions and seams is not recommended.

In such cases, apply to your dealer.

Storage of the boat with temperature variations from -30°C to +45°C may be allowed not longer than 1 month. In case the boat has been stored or transported at a temperature below 0°C, it must be kept at a temperature above +15°C at least for 1 hour before to be unpacked and unfolded.

For small repair boat tube use the coated fabric and glue set from the complete set.

OPERATING REGULATIONS.

Dear user,

We thank your for your purchase and do hope that you will have a great fun of it. However, to make your joy and pleasure complete, we would request you to read carefully and observe the directions and recommendations specified below.

EAGLE 6

IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to handle the boat in the state of intoxication and without individual rescue means being used (life-saving belts, jackets, etc.)

IT IS FORBIDDEN to use an outboard motor of power exceeding the maximum allowable value

IT IS FORBIDDEN to bring the tube pressure up to the value exceeding the rated one

(0.15 bar(2.2psi))

IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to drag the boat across a rough surface.

For each particular water area the local shipping regulations are in force. You may apply for information to the appropriate water transport and shipping directorate, as well as to the water police.

Use the boat equipment and accessories only on their direct purpose to ensure reliable service.

Even when sailing with an outboard engine you should always have the oars available with you so that you were able to reach the shore without outside assistance in case of any damage of the boat.

On your request any outboard engine seller may provide your engine with the emergency stop switch. During navigation the switch should be connected to the wrist of your hand by means of a cord. In case you fall overboard, even if being a steersman, the switch will cut out the engine and the propeller. This arrangement will enable you to avoid any traumas and to reach the boat.

Take all possible precautions against penetration of fuel, oil or electrolyte from the storage battery into the inflatable boat. If it does happen wash thoroughly the fouled spots with water.

You should be always sure that the number of people on board never exceeds that specified in the owner's manual or on the builder's plate provided on the transom.

The boat will retain an adequate floatability and will not keel over only provided that the load is arranged reasonably. Therefore, do not accommodate all passengers on the same side of the boat.

All passengers should be accommodated inside the boat. The occupied seats should not be left throughout the entire sailing time.

All passengers should put on life-saving jackets.

CHILDREN and non-swimmers MUST WEAR A FLOATATION DEVICE AT ALL TIMES.

Always check that floatation devices for children are of the right size and that they are operational.

Arrange the cargo to be carried uniformly inside the boat, all items being reliable secured on the bottom of the boat.

When sailing with an outboard engine the steersman should shift his body forward in the course of acceleration to prevent the boat forebody from raising under the force of upthrust waves.

Despite the strong shell of the boat we recommend carefully handle and operate with sharp and pricking objects which you have on board . It concerns, for example, a knife blade, fish-hook point, etc.

— 32 — "BRIG" inflatable boats

Approaching to rocky shores, shoals, moles, etc. , please be careful to avoid damages of your boat. It is strictly prohibited to drag the boat across rough surfaces (shingle, rocks, concrete, etc.).

In case of prolonged navigation with the use of an outboard motor, regularly check, that the motor is reliably attached to the boat. If the engine was attached carelessly, the attachment may loosen under the action of vibration.

Besides, at regular intervals, please check air chambers pressure , since the pressure may vary under the effects of outside air temperature and atmospheric pressure variations.

Never forget to monitor regularly the quantity of fuel in the fuel tank. Keep always in mind that the quantity of fuel should be sufficient for you to sail to your final destination.

l Towing

At towing the towing rope length should not be less at least 3 lengths of the boat.

The steersman of the towed boat should be assisted by another crew member to monitor the process of towing. In this case, certain communication gestures should be agreed upon beforehand.

The rope have to be attached to both boats in a manner ensuring its immediately, singlemotion release.

l

Damage to one of air chambers

The inflatable boat is designed to provide an adequate stability in case of the complete damage to one of the air chambers (balloon compartments) at the expense of the remaining air chambers and the hull. Thanks to it, you will be able to reach safely the nearest shore.

Reduce the speed and shift your body to the undamaged part of the boat. Observe changes in stability. After that, immediately head for the nearest shore. To prevent penetration of water into the boat, pull the shell of the damaged air chambers upwards.

l Mooring fast fastening

Attach towing rope in the bow of the boat to the one of the frontal towing rings. Attach bow mooring ropes to the bow mooring cleats only. Attach rear mooring ropes or the rope of back anchor to the rear mooring cleats only.

l Danger of currents and wind

Before begin navigation on the boat, make detail inquiries about local conditions and regulations! Currents, wind, shoals, rising and falling tides, as well as weather variations may imply serious danger!

l In emergency stay in boat

In any unexpected situation (engine failure, boat damage, etc.), never leave the boat, if it is still afloat. Even if you believe that the shore is just nearby, stay in the boat, since you will be looked for in this particular place and, most probably, will be found. Should the boat become partially flooded, throw heavy objects (batteries, fuel tank, engine) overboard to ensure additional floatability.

l Handling under power

Manoeuvrability above 30knotes (55 km/h) is limited. Sudden turn may cause loss of control. Reduce speed before sharp turn, in either direction.

2018

When the boat is fitted with an engine with maximum recommended power it must be use with extreme care.

This application is directed at experienced users using their boats for very specific purposes.

EAGLE 6

Do not operate your boat with an engine of rated power larger than that stated on the builder's plate in the boat.

Do not operate this craft at negative propulsion unit trim settings (bow down) at high speed.

Craft may lean over on side. Instability in turns may result. Use negative trim to accelerate to planing speed from displacement speed and at lower planing speeds in choppy water

(applicable to craft equipped with propulsion unit power trim).

Do not operate at maximum speed while in congested high traffic waterways or in weather and sea conditions of reduced visibility high winds or large waves. Reduce speed and wake as a courtesy and as a safety consideration to yourself and others. Observe and obey speed limit and no wake zones.

Observe right-of-way as defined by Rules of the Road and required by COLREG.

Always be certain to have sufficient distance to stop or manoeuvre if required to avoid collisions.

The boat must be equipped with liferaft(s) to be stowed for the crew limit. If the liferaft is a rigid canister type, it shall be mounted in the cockpit, ready for use. If the liferaft is contained in a soft bag then it may be stowed in a compartment but shall be readily available for use.

Liferaft not supplied by the manufacturer and must be installed by owner.
