Follow all operating procedures for normal conditions and the following special
instructions.
1. Monitor current frequently and adjust thrust accordingly when anchoring
bridge or raft assembly.
2. Exercise caution when working on boat or bridge where surfaces and equipment
may become slippery.
3. Check bilge frequently for water accumulation. Operate fore and aft bilge
pumps as necessary. Refer to WP 0004 00.
OPERATION IN HIGH WIND CONDITIONS
Follow all operating procedures for normal conditions and the following special
instructions.
1. Monitor current frequently and adjust thrust accordingly when anchoring
bridge or raft assembly.

OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT OR DRY CONDITIONS
CAUTION
Check lubrication instructions (WP 0047 00) when
operating in extreme heat and change oils as required.
Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment.
Follow all operating procedures for normal conditions and the following special
instructions.
CAUTION
A very high standard of maintenance is essential to long
term operation under conditions of extreme heat. High
temperature can cause early failure of systems. Constant
checking is necessary to prevent failures.
1. Check fluid levels more frequently. Refer to WP 0047 00.
2. Keep moving parts clean and well lubricated, and ensure aft cockpit air inlets
are kept clear to permit cooling. For cleaning instructions, refer to WP 0048 00.
For lubrication instructions, refer to WP 0047 00.
3. Engine oil should be changed more frequently. Run engine at idle for
approximately 3 to 5 minutes before shutting down. Idling will cool engine
faster than a quick shutdown and may prevent damage from remaining engine
heat.
