Free moving or hot parts of the engine (the engines) that could cause injury are effective to protect if the engine (the engines) is not shielded by a cover or a body (sind).

5.1.4.

Start of outerboard engines

All outer-board engines of water vehicles must have a device that prevents the start of the engine from embarking on a gear, except

(a)

if the engine produces a static push of less than 500 N;

(b)

if the engine is fitted with a drossel device that limits the push to 500 N when the engine starts.

5.1.5.

Leadless hydromotorbikes

Water-motorbikes are either equipped with an automatic shutdown of the drive engine or an automatic device that brings the vehicle into slow, circular front-line traffic when the driver gets off or overboard.

5.1.6.

External onboard engines with internal control are to be equipped with an equilibrium precursor that can be connected to the driver.

5.2.

Fuel system

5.2.1.

General

filling, storage and ventilation devices for fuel, as well as fuel delivery devices, must be interpreted in such a way as to minimise the risk of fire and explosion.

5.2.2.

FARMING

The engine manufacturer must provide assembly and maintenance manuals for the engines; In compliance with the rules contained therein, the engine should comply with the limit values set out in the Z 2.1 and 2.2 during its normal operating conditions.

The necessary information is obtained by the engine manufacturer on the basis of pre-assessment tests that are based on normal operating cycles, and by calculating the material fatigue, so that it can prepare the necessary maintenance requirements and allow all new engines to be placed on the market for the first time.

The normal life of an engine corresponds to the following values:

(a)

compression ignition engines: 480 operating hours or 10 years (according to what first enters);

(b)

Internal-board-freight ignition engines and engines with a power drive with or without an integrated exhaust system:

(i)

Engines of Category PN ≤ 373 kW: 480 operating hours or ten years (everever, what first enters);

ii)

Engines of category 373 < PN ≤ 485 kW: 150 hours of operation or three years (according to what first occurs);

iii)

Engines of Category PN485 kW: 50 hours of operation or one year (according to what first occurs);

(c)

Hydromotor engines: 350 operating hours or five years (according to what first enters);

(d)

Outboard engines: 350 operating hours or 10 years (depending on what first enters).

4.

EIGNERHANDB

Each engine is to be supplied with an owner manual in a language or language that the Member State in which the engine is to be distributed and which can easily understand consumers and other end users.

The owner manual has to contain:

(a)

rules on how to install, use and wait the engine to ensure a proper functioning of the engine in accordance with the requirements of Z 3 (long-term behaviour);

(b)

the indication of the engine performance measured according to the harmonised standard.

C. Basic requirements regarding noise emissions

Recreational boats with internal-board engines or engines with a low-integrated exhaust system, hydro-motors and outer-board engines and engines with Z-admission and integrated exhaust system must meet the basic requirements of noise emissions specified in this part.

PN the nominal power in kW of a single engine at nominal speed and LpASmax the maximum sound pressure level in dB.

For two and more-engineered aggregates of all engine types, the limit can be increased by 3 dB.

1.2.

As an alternative to noise measurements, the noise requirements for Z 1.1 also apply to recreational craft with inner-board engines or engines without an integrated exhaust system, if they have a Froude number ≤1.1 and a ratio of performance/reduction ≤ 40 and the engine and exhaust system are installed according to the requirements of the engine manufacturer.

1.3.

The "Froude payment" Fn is calculated by dividing the maximum speed of the V (m/s) by the product from the square root of the water length of the river (m) and a given constant of gravity acceleration (g = 9.8 m/s2).

Fn =

The "performance/displacement" is calculated by division of engine power PN (kW) by phasing out the recreational craft D (t).

Relationship performance/displacement = PN/D

2.

EIGNERHANDB

For recreational craft with internal-board engines or engines with a Z-admission without an integrated exhaust system and for hydromotorbikes, the owner manual required under Part A Z 2.5 contains the necessary information to obtain the sports boat and the exhaust system in a state to ensure, where possible, that the limit values for noise emissions are met.

For outdoor-board engines and for engines with an integrated exhaust system, the owner manual, required under Part B Z 4, contains the necessary instructions to obtain the engine in a state that ensures, where possible, that the limit values for noise emissions are respected when normal operation is carried out.

3.

FARMING

The provisions on long-term behaviour in Part B Z 3 are deemed to be in line with the requirements for noise emissions in Z 1.
