SECTION 1: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY . . .

BEFORE attempting to carry out any major maintenance adjustments or


replacement of parts (NEVER repairs) on this boat and it's Systems.
YOU MUST:

1. Have read and fully understood the accompanying system's Operations Manuals.

2. Have practised thoroughly and become proficient and experienced in the use of each System
and be able to recognised when it is operating correctly-and even more importantly, when it is not.

3. Have the boat already Hanging Off or ashore (supported in a cradle) if working on even near to
the Hooks and their Release Mechanism.

4. NOT attempt any adjustments, dismantling or replacement of load bearing parts, when the boat
is suspended from he Hooks.

5. NOT attempt any major technical maintenance with the boat afloat, parts may fall overboard
and you may not be able to be sufficiently accurate.

6. Check spare parts on board. Whenever you are about to carry out a maintenance Job which
may possibly require a spare part, make sure you have a replacement part available before
dismantling.

7. Stock Control: Keep your Stock Control system up to date.


Instructions for ON-BOARD Maintenance SECTION 2: Maintenance Precautions(1/1)

SECTION 2: Maintenance Precautions

This section is intended only to contain guidance as to the safety precautions that must be taken
before carrying out any maintenance task, as indicated below.

1. General Safety Precautions.


Before carrying out any maintenance operations on a lifeboat and its equipment, as minimum
the precautions below should be followed.

(a) If working on a boat at sea inform the bridge, or if in port inform the officer(s) on duty.
Report to them also when the job is completed and the boat is again ready for emergency use.

(b) Ensure that the means of access to the boat is safe and that the boat is secure in its davit
before boarding.

(c) Never smoke inside lifeboat.

(d) Open doors and hatches to ventilate it well.

(e) Do not touch any part of the release gear unless special precautions have been taken.
See 2. below.

(f) Do not run the engine for more than 5 minutes unless it is afloat.

(g) Do not engage gear when running the engine out of the water, except for a few seconds only,
the stern-bearing may be damaged.

(h) Take all necessary electrical safety precautions if working on that type of equipment.

(I) Never attempt major hull or canopy glassfibre repairs, special facilities and skills are required.
Seek the manufacturers advice for any repair which is more than cosmetic.

2. Special Safety Precaution.


Whenever any work is to be performed on, or even near, the boat's davits, winches, hooks,
central release mechanism, interlock device or any connecting cables, and the boat is not afloat
and moored, or ashore, then the winches, falls, hooks, and release system must be isolated by
by 'hanging-off' the boat on special pendants.

Details of the procedures for Hanging-Off are given in Annex at the back of
the Lifeboat's Training Manual.
Instructions for ON-BOARD Maintenance SECTION 3: Organizing Maintenance(1/1)

SECTION 3: Organizing Maintenance.

Any large project can be a daunting prospect, but when it is broken down into smaller sections,
it becomes a series of small projects which can then be easily and quickly carried out.
This Manual has been created that way to make it easy to follow and to make it simple to enter into
a computerized Planned Maintenance system for your ship if you have one.

Maintenance of any Lifeboat or System within it is an on-going Prevention project to keep it


functioning well. It's purpose is to find problems in advance and prevent them causing trouble
later and is therefore time based but checks on measurements can also be used to predict when
replacement of parts will be needed.

Jobs are grouped together by System and under the headings of weekly, monthly, 6 monthly,
annual and 5 yearly.

Jobs are also related to the main elements of each System so that work can be organised into further
small tasks.

Some Jobs require only the eyes of a person who is familiar and experienced in the boat and
a system's operation, others require tools and / or materials, some require a special jig to be used,
and in time, some may require spare parts.
All these requirements, plus people power, are or can be given on each of the Job Sheets which
comprise this Maintenance Manual.
Instructions for ON-BOARD Maintenance SECTION 4: General Maintenance Information(1/1)

SECTION 4: General Maintenance Information

In the Job Sheets which follow will be found references to various actions and necessary materials,
details are given below.

Lubricants.

Grease : Use only a multi grade marine type water resistant type suitable for both high and low
temperatures, Shell EP2 or equivalent.

Oil : Use only a thin acid free clear oil of marine type, Shell Wire Oil or equivalent.

Cleaning : A clean lint-free cloth with paraffin (kerosene) is recommended for the removal of most
dirt and excess grease.

Protectio : For most rust inhabitant purposes a thin layer of grease is adequate after cleaning.

Spare : Requests for spare parts may be sent direct to us or preferably to the System's
Parts manufacturer, accompanied by a Serial NO., type, model and SWL if applicable.
In cases where no manufacturer of a part is known to you we may be able to supply
direct or give advice as to from where it may be obtained.
In many cases the supply of the parts will be accompanied by our fitting advice.

FOR ENGINE AND HOOK RELEASE SYSTEMS REFER DIRECT TO THE


MANUFACTURERS AS PER THEIR OWN MANUALS, DO NOT USE PARTS FROM ANY
OTHER SOURCE, the risk to your safety is too great.
