Bilge Blower System
•
The bilge blowers remove
explosive fumes from the
engine room area.
•
Fresh air is drawn into this area
through the vents.
To make sure the bilge areas
are properly ventilated:
•
Always run the bilge blowers
for at least four minutes before
starting the engines or the gen-
erator (if equipped).
•
Use the 'sniff test' to check the
bilge areas for fuel vapors
before starting the engines or
the generator (if equipped).
•
Continue to run the blowers
until your yacht has reached
cruising speed.
•
Always run the blowers when
operating your yacht below
cruising speed.
FIRE and EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Fuel vapors can explode! BEFORE starting the engines:
1. Check the bilge areas for fuel vapors or leaking fuel. If you see leaking fuel or smell
fuel vapors:
a. Do NOT start the engines or generator, do NOT turn On any electrical devices, extinguish
ALL cigarettes, cigars, and other sources of flame or ignition.
b. Get everyone off your yacht.
c. Get trained help to find and fix the problem.
2. Run the bilge blowers for at least four minutes prior to engine starting, generator starting,
electrical system maintenance, or activation of electrical devices.
•
If you smell fuel vapors and the engines and/or generator are already running;
a. Shut Off the engines and/or generator, and turn Off ALL electrical devices.
b. Extinguish ALL cigarettes, cigars, and other sources of flame or ignition.
c. Get trained help to find and fix the problem.
•
NEVER obstruct or change the bilge blower system.
