The yacht is equipped with a multipurpose pump 90 l/min, which can be used, in case of emergency, to help or to replace the various automatic bilge pumps, in order to drain water from the bilge.
The multipurpose pump, activated manually, by correctly shunting the valves on the relevant manifold, can replace the following pumps:
In case of failure of black or grey water pumps, the multipurpose pump replaces the suction of one of the two pumps, by means of two deflecting valves installed on the multipurpose pump manifold.
After the use of the multi-purpose pump, it is advisable to carry out a check of the impeller. For the procedure ask the RIVA After Sales & Service Department.
To use the multipurpose pump, activate the magneto-thermal switch located on the general electrical panel.
The bilge drains can be discharged at sea only if they do not contain polluting substances.
If polluting agents are present in the bilge waters, dispose of them using the suitable containers for polluting agents located in harbours.
Never run the electric pumps dry.
