1. Handover and internal transfer within the State Reserves General DepartmentHandover of documentation

When transferring boats internally within the State Reserves General Department, all relevant documents (during handover and during storage) must be fully handed over according to each boat.

1. Handover of boats

Follow the provisions at points 3.3.2 and 3.3.3.

1. Handover record

All handovers must have a record detailing the quantity, quality, and actual condition of the boat hull, boat engine, towing vehicle, accompanying equipment, spare parts, and accompanying documents. The handover record is kept with other legal documents accompanying the shipment.

Shock absorbers, springs, hydraulic cylinders are in a resting state without load.Boats not placed on towing vehicles (Model DT1) are supported on iron frames designed to fit the boat size.

K7

QCVN 08: 2018/BTC

Each type of boat is arranged in separate areas and stacked with the bow facing towards the warehouse door for storage. The warehouse floor ensures adequate space for storage and movement during import and export operations. The horizontal spacing between two boat hulls is no less than 0.5 meters; the vertical spacing between two boats is no less than 2 meters; the distance between boats and warehouse columns or walls is no less than 0.5 meters.

1. Accompanying equipment such as batteries, toolboxes, technical documents, life jackets, boat covers... are neatly removed and stored separately on supports.

1. Initial storage

Clean the entire exterior of the boat and towing vehicle with fresh, clean water; use an air compressor to blow dry the boat hull, boat engine, and equipment before storing the boat. Drain all fuel from the fuel tanks and follow the fuel tank storage procedures (cleaning, coating with lubricating oil, refilling with fuel).

1. Regular storageRegular boat storage

Clean the boat cover, windshield, lights, horn, guardrails, handrails, hull, deck surface, outer surface of the engine, and propeller once a week. Use soft cloths to clean the entire interior cabin, electrical switchboards, and other equipment installed on the boat.

1. Storage of certain equipment

Annually, the boat tools and equipment must be cleaned thoroughly and wrapped in wax paper. Boat batteries: The electrolyte should not be drained and the battery should be kept in its original packaging on the shelf (note to check the seal of the caps and adhesive tape). Regular maintenance should be performed using dedicated batteries. Dedicated equipment should be stored separately in a dry place, wiped clean externally with soft cloths or a vacuum cleaner. Life jackets and boat covers should be stored like life vests and national reserve tent shells.

1. Regular maintenance of the boat carrier vehicle

Once a week, the boat carrier vehicle should be cleaned thoroughly, and the tire pressure should always meet the requirements specified in Point 3.5.1.1. Every three months, the vehicle should be cleaned, oil should be applied to bolts, the roller system, winches, and springs. Every six months, grease should be applied to all grease nipples. During storage, if any rust appears, it should be painted immediately, ensuring that the color matches the original paint.

1. Engine start-up maintenance

Every three months, the boat engine should be started up for inspection according to the following procedure:

1. Necessary conditions before starting the engine

Start the engine while the boat is on the storage rack. The cooling water tank must be full of water, lift the boat's tail motor using the electrical switch to position the cooling water tank below the tail motor. Lower the tail motor fully using the electrical switch, ensuring the water level submerges the water intake valve. Use a fuel can to supply fuel to the fuel tank, pump fuel into the engine, and vent the air from the fuel system. Carefully inspect the fuel system (hoses, flanges, and filters). For diesel engines, the return fuel line should be directly connected to the fuel can or a separate can. Fuel used must comply with the manufacturer's specifications regarding type and quality. Do not use fuel mixed with water, and ensure that lubricating oil meets the specific requirements for each type of boat. Fill the water filter with water, check the coolant level, the lubricating oil level, and ensure the throttle is set to "Stop" for idle running. Dedicated batteries for starting the boat engine must be fully charged, connected to the starter, ground wire, and checked for all electrical connections and the cooling cut-off system (for boats DT2, DT3, DT4). Inspect the entire outer surface of the engine, ensuring no foreign objects are placed on or near the engine.

1. Procedure for starting the engine

Set the throttle to the lowest idle speed to start the engine. Turn on the electrical switch to start the engine, do not engage the cooling cut-off switch (for boats DT2, DT3, DT4) or pull the starter rope (DT1), start the engine two to three times until coolant sprays out of the exhaust port, then stop and engage the cooling cut-off switch to start the engine again. Each attempt should be decisive, lasting no more than five seconds. Do not start repeatedly without sufficient rest between attempts, which should be at least fifteen seconds. Once the engine starts, monitor the cooling system operation (water entering and exiting the engine in a closed loop within the test tank). After the engine starts, maintain the crankshaft speed between 600 rpm and 1000 rpm for three to five minutes. Gradually increase the engine speed in increments, avoiding sudden increases and exceeding two-thirds of the rated speed. Idle running time should not exceed thirty minutes. Change the transmission oil after the first ten hours of operation. Regularly check the oil quality; if it appears milky, contains water, is dirty, or has sediment...

QCVN 08: 2018/BTC

...immediately record the shutdown and report to superiors for resolution.

1. Technical Inspection

After each startup, inspect the operational performance of the boat's components and specialized equipment (as stipulated in Point 3.3.3). If any damage or malfunction is detected, immediate action should be taken.

1. Shutdown

Before shutting down, reduce the throttle, run the engine at the lowest idle speed for three to five minutes to allow the coolant temperature in the engine to decrease. For gasoline engines, simultaneously cut off the fuel supply and let the engine run until the carburetor fuel is exhausted.

1. Post-startup Maintenance

Lift the engine tail, remove the cooling water tank, detach the fuel tank and fuel lines. Lower the engine tail back to the static storage position. Turn off the cooling switch, disconnect the battery and store it separately.

1. Warehouse Exit Procedures

• Prior to exit, prepare necessary tools and equipment for engine startup and related documents for the national reserve boat exit. Check the accompanying equipment, lower the boat from the rack, inflate the tires (if the boat is on the boat carrier). Organize handover: Conduct an engine startup, inspect the boat's equipment functionality, and complete the handover documentation. Reporting Quality of Boats

• Within one month after the end of entry into storage, the Head of the National Reserve Unit shall direct relevant units to report the quality of the stored boats to the specialized national reserve management agency; every quarter, compile and report the quality status of stored boats to the specialized national reserve management agency before the twentieth day of the last month of the quarter. In case of emergencies, units may submit separate reports; within one month after the end of exit from storage, the Head of the National Reserve Unit shall report the quality to the specialized national reserve management agency.
