DANGERDuring cleaning or maintenance operations, make sure that no one can move the gangway, the stern platform and the garage hatch as they can cause serious damage to people; it is recommended to remove the power supply.
Outer cleaning
To keep all our accessories and their parts in good working order, they should be cleaned carefully and thoroughly as often as possible.
As the gangway and the swim ladder, are located in a very critical position compared to all the other equipment on board, being in constant contact with water and acid exhaust fumes, they require a more accurate cleaning.
For a careful and thorough clearing operation, cover all the steel parts with a layer of paraffin oil. For painted parts, use a paste/cream. This will prevent the forming of rust stains.

CAUTIONIn order not to jeopardize the gangway of the seals, perform the washing in the box avoiding that water enters under pressure.
ENVIRONMENTDo not discharge oil in the sea, but in the special areas for toxic waste disposal.
CAUTIONRIVA declines all liability for any accident to persons or damage to property caused by a wrong use of the devices.
CAUTIONAfter completion of some operations, check the oil level of the tank. The oil top up in the tank must be performed with the gangway completely retracted.
Ordinary Maintenance
Mechanical joints
Mechanical joints and sliding parts are greased during installation. It is advisable to verify anchorage bolts locking and a little joints greasing at each beginning and season end.
Hydraulic system
Verify oil level at each beginning and season end, if below minimum level, top up with the oil recommended by the Manufacturer. Verify the correct operation of emergency pump and hand operation of solenoid valves at each season beginning and end.
CAUTIONWe recommend that you pay the utmost care during assembly and subsequent top-ups, so that there is no infiltration of possible waste, chips, dust, etc.. into the oil tank, and thus also into the hydraulic circuit.
At least once a month grease all mechanical parts.
Electric system
Check the battery charge and the liquid level according to the procedures advised by the Manufacturer. “Daily” check the integrity of the keyboard.
The systems are controlled through logics electronic systems.
This systems have to be supplied according to specifications of enclosed technical tags.
The electronic card can’t be connected directly to the battery charger. The power supply has to be stabilized by the batteries (also during recharge). Pay attention to connection and correct polarity. Pay attention to possible water intrusions which may damage the connections and the electronic cards.
Make sure that all jack plugs are well connected and well tight. In case only one of those is not properly connected, the electronic systems operation is jeopardized. Do not carry out modifications to the receiver cable (because screened). The engines and the whole systems are sized for a normal use. The continuous and uninterrupted use of the systems may cause overheating of the engines.
