The yacht is equipped with an extractable ladder controlled by a multifunction hydraulic control unit that allows easy access from the sea to the aft platform, and vice versa.
The swim ladder is placed inside the structure of the stern platform on the starboard side, so as not to cause any hindrance during navigation, mooring and unmooring operations.
To make access to the sea more comfortable, two grab bars have been installed on the stern platform, inserted in special seats.

DANGER

Pay attention to moving parts and hands.

MAINTENANCE

At least once a week clean with fresh water and a thorough cleaning.
At least once a month:

Check the oil level of the control unit, if necessary top up;
Check for leaks and leakage of oil;
Check for corrosion;

At least 1 time every 6 months:

Grease the joint pins and sliding sleeves;
Tighten the anchor bolts.

Swim ladder controls
The swim ladder movement control panel is located on the access ladder to the stern cockpit, starboard side.
The buttons available allow performing the outward movement of the ladder from its housing to the stop, and the bathing ladder to re-enter.

DANGER

Never use the swim ladder while the motors are running.
Caution must be used to avoid approaching the interceptors and propellers as they may be accidentally operated.

CAUTION

Make sure of the correct exit and position of the swim ladder before going down into the water.

The warning light on the push-button panel indicates that the bathing ladder has come out of the stowage position inside the platform.

DANGER

Never navigate with the swim ladder incorrectly stowed.

CAUTION

Pay attention because the ladder can be slippery. Secure the grip before starting the return on board.

CAUTION

The swim ladder, while easy to manoeuvre, may cause damage to people and property. Use by sufficiently experienced personnel is recommended.

WARNING

To use your yacht safely, always open the swim ladder when you are off and alone on board.

DANGER

Risk of electric shock from leakage currents. Do not swim in water ports or marinas.

CAUTION

Do not use the swim ladder as a springboard.

NOTE
