1.1. Purpose of this manual

This instruction manual contains important information and instructions for properly using your Axopar boat.

In this owner´s manual you will find important information that will help you handle and maintain your boat in a safe and easy manner. Furthermore, the manual contains detailed information about the boat and the systems installed, and general information about handling and taking care of your boat.

We advise you to read the manual carefully and familiarize yourself with your boat before you start to use it. This owner’s manual is not a substitute for boating safety skills or good seamanship. If this is your first boat or if this boat type is new to you, we ask for your own comfort and safety that you ensure you can handle the boat before you set out for the first time. Your boat dealer, local boat clubs and national motorboat or yacht federations will gladly inform you about local sea schools or recommend approved instructors.

You should ensure that the anticipated wind and wave conditions correspond to the design category of your boat, and that you and your crew are able to handle the boat in these conditions. 

This owner’s manual is not a detailed maintenance or troubleshooting guide. If problems occur, you should contact the boat manufacturer or their representative. When you are in need of maintenance or repair and alteration work, you should always turn to competent and trained workshops. Changes that can affect the boat’s security features must be assessed, carried out and documented by competent professionals. The boat manufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorized modifications. Every change to the boat’s center of gravity (from highly mounted heavy equipment or a new engine type etc.) will significantly affect the stability, trim and performance of the boat. 

Keep this manual in a safe place and pass it on to the new owner if you sell your boat. If the manual is mislaid or destroyed, a copy can be ordered from your dealer.

See the purchase agreement or order for the scope of your purchase. In case something does not work satisfactorily with your boat or its equipment, you can check the service documents for possible service and repair measures. In the event of uncertainty, you should always contact your dealer.
