FIRE EXTINGUISHER- AUTOMATIC
OVERVIEW
The optional Fire-boy automatic fire extinguishing system
is located in the bilge at the forward engine bulkhead. See
the illustration. The system uses a environmentally friendly
agent FE-241 which has been approved by the EPA to
replace the old Halon agent. This system is formulated
only for use in the engine space or bilge of your vessel.
FE-241 is to be used with gasoline fuel systems only since
the agent will not “stall” diesel engines. This could cause
a fire to re-flash.
Fireboy systems are not nor are they intended to be explo-
sion suppression devices.
Boat owner’s still need to take
normal precautions for checking fumes and using
the blower.
Read the information in chapter 4 regarding the dash in-
stalled portion of the fire extinguisher system. When the
system actuation starts you may hear a loud sound simiar to
that of small arms fire, followed by a rushing air sound.
The system will show actuation whenever the ignition key
is ON and the indicator light is OFF. The actual actuation
time when a fire occurs is dependent on the severity of
the fire.
When the automatic fire extinguisher activates IMMEDI
-
ATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED
VENTILATION (BLOWER), ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS.
DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY!
Allow the agent to “soak” the compartment for a period of
time and wait for hot metals and any fuels to cool before
inspecting for the fire cause. Premature opening of the
engine compartment allows an in-rushing of oxygen and
could result in a flash-back. When the engine compart
-
ment is opened have approved portable fire extinguishers
ready to use.
OPERATION-AUTOMATIC
OPERATION-MANUAL
If a fire has started in the engine compartment where the
Fireboy is located, DO NOT WAIT FOR AUTOMATIC
ACTIVATION.
Release the system manually.
Close
any opened hatches leading to the engine compartment,
shut down all forced ventilation devices, engines, genera-
tors and electrical components.
Remove the safety pin
from the “Fire” T-handle, and pull T-handle firmly
and release. A loud “rushing” or air” sound will be
heard.
Complete discharge will take several seconds. DO
NOT OPEN THE COMPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY!
Keep the compartment closed for a period of time suf-
ficient to allow the agent to soak all areas of the protected
space. This allows hot metals to cool.
