Safety Instructions for Holt Rubber Plug

Safe Usage Guidelines

Purpose

The Holt rubber plug is intended for use on boats, yachts, and other watercraft to seal holes such as drains, ventilation openings, or other areas where a watertight seal is required.

Assembly and Installation

Preparation:

Ensure that the hole where the plug will be installed is clean, dry, and free from contaminants.
Check that the plug fits the hole on the boat or yacht, making sure that the size of the plug is suitable for the location.

Installation:

Carefully insert the rubber plug into the hole, ensuring it is properly fitted and securely held in place.
If the plug has additional fastening elements (e.g., clamps), secure them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Check:

After installation, check for any signs of loose fitting. Ensure that the plug is tightly fitted to the hole and that the seal is secure.

Usage

Pre-use Check:

Before each use, check the condition of the plug. Ensure it is not damaged, cracked, scratched, or showing other signs of wear.
Check that the plug is properly fitted and securely seated in the hole.

During Use:

Use the rubber plug only in the conditions it is designed for. Avoid applying excessive pressure to the plug, as this may cause damage or loss of sealing.

Regular Inspection and Maintenance

Pre-use Inspection:

Regularly check the condition of the plug, especially before each trip. Ensure there are no cracks, scratches, deformations, or other signs of damage.
Check that the plug is still well fitted and provides a proper seal.

Storage:

Store the rubber plug in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to prevent damage.
Do not expose the plug to prolonged contact with chemicals or materials that may affect its elasticity.
Avoid storing the plug in places where it may be subjected to mechanical damage.

Safety During Use

Caution During Installation:

Ensure that the plug is properly installed to prevent accidental dislodging or loss of sealing during use.
When using the plug in challenging conditions, such as high pressure or heavy vibrations, regularly check the condition of the seal.

Avoid Excessive Load:

Do not use the rubber plug in a way that may exceed its allowable load. Overstretching or excessive force can damage the material.

Contact in Case of Problems

If you notice any manufacturing defect or damage to the rubber plug, contact the manufacturer or point of sale. Do not modify the plug yourself, as it may affect its functionality and safety.
