Copyrights: Univan Ship Management Limited, Hong Kong. All rights reserved Any unauthorized reproduction of this manual, in any form is prohibited SECTION 11.5 Dead cars are those cars which can not be started after repeated trying either because of flat battery or lack of fuel. A few dead cars may be found one in thousands when you have loaded new cars. But in case of second hand vehicles about 15% cars are dead cars. Care should be taken while handling these dead cars, or else either we will damage the car or we create a fire hazard. The few points to be taken care while handling these dead cars are noted below. Please go through the same and follow: 1) One of the main reasons why the battery runs down is the wrong start methods. Particularly in the cold climate after a long voyage, it may be hard to start a car unless correct methods are used. Drivers may not be aware of correct methods of starting particularly for the new models. You must read the instructions given with the car and make the driver understand and follow them. 2) When ever you are removing the dead car to the side, away from main traffic; do it carefully and avoid any scratches to the car paint. 3) Vehicle should not be started by push start method. 4) Direct refueling to the carburetor is strictly prohibited. If the vehicle fuel tank is empty, you may add the fuel to the vehicle fuel tank. 5) Required fire precaution for starting dead cars should be taken as explained in 5.4 6) Jump starting should not be carried out along with refueling in the same compartment. 7) Many second hand cars need to be started with jump start method, so refueling is prohibited in second hand cars. 8) Dead cars should not be discharge with battery power. Some time the car has a fuel problem, but battery is good. The drivers keep the transmission engaged crank the engine, to move the car from stowage location. This is prohibited. 9) Vehicles should not be moved with flat tires. The tire should be replaced first and then the vehicle should be moved. 10) Towing is the best method of removing the dead cars. However while towing the dead car hook the tow line on the lashing point only and in such a way that it is not in contact any body part. Use the specially designed towing hooks (particularly for Mercedes Benz) for the tow lines. See picture no. : 102. 11) Also while towing be attentive that the towed vehicle do not scratch with any obstructions. The towing vehicle should drive smoothly and not over speeding and braking. Otherwise the towing vehicle and the tow may collide together. 11.5.7 Departure procedures after cargo operations.
