4.8 ENGINE ROOM

The engine room can be reached from two different points: through the central hatch in the cockpit floor, and through an access from the crew’s area.
You can gain access to the engine room through a door, which separates the two rooms and reduces noise. Before entering this room, switch on the lights.

DANGER

You are not allowed to enter the engine room during navigation.

DANGER

In the engine room, thermal engines create highly radiated areas which keep temperature high for a long time. Protect yourself and wait until they are cool before entering the engine room.

CAUTION

Do not store free-to-move items in the engine room, as they might skid during navigation.

CAUTION

Only authorized personnel should have access to the engine room and also be informed about the components operation and about the features of the fire-fighting system.

DANGER

For safety reasons the watertight hatch, giving access to the engine room, must be kept closed by any chance and situation. It must stay open only during the passage.

MAINTENANCE

At least once every three months tighten of the discharge raiser bolts.
