XTINGUISHING
S
YSTEM
Your boat is equipped with an automatic fire
extinguisher system. Located in the engine
compartment. In the event of a fire, the heat
sensitive automatic head in the engine compartment
will release a fire-extinguishing vapor, totally
flooding the area.
The dashboard contains an indicator light for the
automatic fire extinguishing system. The light will
be ON when the ignition is on and indicates that
the system is ready. If the light goes out while the
ignition is on, the system has discharged.
WHEN DISCHARGE OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED
VENTILATION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND
EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO
NOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO
THE FIRE AND THE FIRE COULD RESTART.
Wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before opening
the engine compartment. This permits the fire-
extinguishing vapor to “soak” the compartment long
enough for hot metals and fuels to cool. Have
portable extinguishers at hand and ready to use in
case the fire reignites. Do not breathe fumes or
vapors caused by the fire.
