Safety Instructions for Boat Hooks and Bailers
Safety Guidelines
Proper Use
Boat Hooks: Use them for grabbing, moving, and stabilizing boats or retrieving objects from the water.
Bailers: Use them to remove water from the boat during emergencies or regular operations.
Ensure the equipment is suited to the type and size of the boat to avoid overloading and handling difficulties.
Safe Usage
Always hold the boat hook or bailer firmly to prevent it from slipping out of your hands.
Avoid applying excessive force or using the equipment as a lever, which can cause damage.
Be mindful of the direction of use to avoid injuring others.
Regular Inspection Before Use
Technical Condition Check
Boat Hooks:
Ensure the hook or tip is not deformed, sharp, or damaged.
Check that the shaft is free of cracks, splinters, or corrosion.
Bailers:
Ensure the bailer is not cracked and that the handle is stable.
If any damage is detected, replace or repair the equipment at an authorized service center.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning After Use
After use in saltwater, rinse the equipment thoroughly with clean water to remove salt and dirt.
Dry the equipment before storage to prevent corrosion and material degradation.
Storage
Store boat hooks and bailers in a dry and ventilated place, preferably in holders on the boat or in a storage facility.
Avoid exposure to UV rays and extreme temperatures that could weaken the materials.
Emergency Situations
Handling Equipment Damage
If the boat hook or bailer is damaged during use, stop using it immediately.
Use backup equipment if available and report the damage to the appropriate service provider.
Water Safety
Notify the crew when using a boat hook or bailer to avoid accidental injuries to others.
Contact in Case of Issues
If you notice a manufacturing defect or permanent damage, contact the manufacturer or point of sale.
