FOREWORD Congratulations on your new Axopar boat! We thank you for choosing this boat and wish you safe and enjoyable moments out on the waters. In this owner´s manual you will find important information that will help you handle and maintain your boat in a safe and easy manner. Furthermore, the manual contains detailed information about the boat and the systems installed, and general information about handling and taking care of your boat. We advise you to read the manual carefully and familiarise yourself with your boat before you start to use it. Naturally this owner’s manual is not a substitute for boating safety skills or good seamanship. If this is your first boat or if this boat type is new to you, we ask for your own comfort and safety that you ensure you can handle the boat before you set out for the first time. Your boat dealer, local boat clubs and national motorboat or yacht federations will gladly inform you about local sea schools or recommend approved instructors. You should ensure that the anticipated wind and wave conditions correspond to the design category of your boat, and that you and your crew are able to handle the craft in these conditions. Design category B corresponds to wind and wave conditions that can vary from storm to strong winds. Category C also indicates a risk of exceptional swell and gust. Even though your boat is designed for such conditions, they are still very dangerous. Only a capable, fit and trained crew, using a well maintained craft, can satisfactorily operate in such conditions. This owner’s manual is not a detailed maintenance or troubleshooting guide. If problems occur, you should contact the boat manufacturer or their representative. When you are in need of maintenance or repair and alteration work, you should always turn to competent and trained workshops. Changes that can affect the boat’s security features must be assessed, carried out and documented by competent professionals. The boat manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorised modifications. Every change to the boat’s centre of gravity (from highly mounted heavy equipment or a new engine type etc.) will significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of the boat. The boat owner must take local and international regulations into consideration concerning the boat crew, equipment and handling of the boat. In some countries, a driving licence or a separate authorization is required for driving the boat and in some countries special regulations might also be in force. Congratulations on your new Axopar boat! We thank you for choosing this boat and wish you safe and enjoyable moments out on the waters. 5

weather conditions, etc. This equipment is compulsory in some countries. The crew should be familiar with the use of all safety equipment and the most important actions in different emergency situations (man overboard recovery, towing, etc.). Sailing schools and clubs regularly organize rescue drills. The equipment in your boat may differ from the equipment used in the pictures and illustrations in this manual. The reason for this might be due to any optional equipment you have chosen or modifications that have been adapted since this manual was made. In such cases we recommend that you contact your local dealer for additional information regarding the equipment in question. Keep this manual in a safe place and pass it on to the new owner if you sell your boat. If the manual is mislaid or destroyed, a copy can be ordered from your dealer. The warranty on the engine, as well as optional equipment such as trim tabs, bow thrusters, navigation equipment and other equipment fitted afterwards, is on the individual supplier’s conditions. The warranties for this equipment and the suppliers’ contact information are enclosed. Concerning all other warranty claims, please contact you Axopar dealer mentioned on the cover page. See the purchase agreement/order for the scope of your purchase. In case something does not work satisfactorily with your boat or its equipment, you can check the service documents for possible service and repair measures. In the event of uncertainty, you should always contact your dealer. Please note that your boat is a recretional craft, thus not suitable for professional use. Specifications, illustrations and examples and related constructional data in this publi- cation are not binding. We reserve the rights for changes. 1 GENERAL The purpose of the owner’s manual is not to be a complete service guide or repair handbook, but to guide the owner into the characteristics of his/her new boat and to handle it in a proper way. The warnings and precautions in this manual are defined as follows: Units in line with the SI system have been used in this manual, but in some cases other units have been added in parentheses. An exception is wind velocity, which in the Recreational Craft Directive is given in the Beaufort scale. In this manual, the right side of the hull is referred to as STB (starboard) and the left side as Port. Always maintain your craft properly and make allowance for the deterioration that will occur over time and as a result of heavy use or misuse of the craft. Any craft, no matter how strong it may be, can be severely damaged if not used properly. Inappropriate use of this boat i.e. use which is not compatible with safe boating, is not allowed. It is always important to adjust the speed and direction of the craft to the sea conditions and your own boating experience. If your boat is fitted with a life raft, carefully read its operating manual. On-board, the craft should have the appropriate safety equipment according to the type of craft, Take precautions to prevent injury and/or damage to the boat and its components. CAUTION! Denotes that an extreme inherent hazard exists which very likely could result in death or serious injury if proper precautions are not taken. WARNING! Maximum caution should be observed to prevent fatal injury or perma- nent harm. DANGER! 6

1.2 CE-CERTIFICATION This boat belongs to category C. The CE-categories means that boats in each category must be designed and constructed to withstand the following parameters in respect of stability, buoyancy, and other relevant essential requirements stated. One requirement is that the boats must be easy to manoeuvre A. Ocean These boats are designed for extended voyages, where conditions experienced may exceed wind force 8 Beaufort Scale and include significant wave heights of at least 4 metres. Under such conditions these boats must be largely self-sufficient. B. Offshore These boats are designed for offshore voyages, where conditions up to and including wind force 8 Beaufort Scale and significant wave heights up to and including 4 metres may be experienced. C. Inshore These boats are designed for voyages in coastal waters, large bays, estuaries, lakes and rivers, where conditions up to and including wind force 6 Beaufort Scale and significant wave heights up to and including 2 m may be experienced. 1.2.1 IDENTIFICATION Each boat is supplied with a unique identification code, containing the data described below. The identification code comprises 14 characters plus a hyphen. The height of the code text is 6 mm and it is applied to the starboard side of the stern. The identification code reads as follows: FI – AXOA4001EA16 FI Country of manufacture - Hyphen AXO Manufacturer: A4 Boat model A=OPEN B=TT C=HT 001 Boat number E Month of manufacture: A = January, B = February, etc. 6 Year of manufacture 16 Model year 1.2.2 MANUFACTURER’S PLATE The cooperation with VTT Expert Services Oy means that company as an external and independent organisation has inspected that the boat fulfils the Recreational Craft Directive and related standards requirements. The manufacturer’s plate is always fitted close to the steering position in the boat. The manufacturer’s plate gives the following information: BOAT TYPE Boat model DESIGN CATEGORY Boat class. See additional information in the chapter CE-category. MAX. NO Maximum number of persons on board. MAX. LOAD Buoyancy. Total weight of persons including personal luggage (excluding tank contents).
