Engine Room Ventilation System
•
The bilge blower removes explosive fuel fumes
from the engine compartment.
•
Fresh air is drawn into the compartment through
the deck vents.
•
The bilge blower switch is at the helm.
To make sure the engine compartment is ventilated
with fresh air, run the bilge blower:
•
For at least four minutes before starting
the engine.
•
During starting.
•
Anytime your boat is running below
cruising speed.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
•
Use of the blower system is NOT A GUARANTEE that explosive fumes have been removed.
•
BEFORE starting the engine, ALWAYS use the "sniff test" to check the bilge area for
fuel vapors.
•
If you smell fuel, DO NOT start the engine and DO NOT turn On any electrical devices.
•
If you smell fuel and the engine is already running, shut Off the engines and/or generator
and turn Off all electrical devices. Investigate immediately.
•
DO NOT obstruct or modify the ventilation system.
