Axis A24 - Emergency Engine Stop Switch

 Evenifsystemsarenotdischarged,reextinguishersandsuppressionunitsrequireperiod-
icmaintenance.Forafactory-installedautomaticresuppressionsystem,acheckofthesystem
shouldbepartoftheroutineannualmaintenance.Hand-heldunitsshouldbeexaminedregu-
larlyforrust,corrosion,damage,orleakage.Weightheunitannuallytobecertainthatitmeets
theminimumlistedonthelabel.Ifithasbeenused,evenpartially,itshouldberechargedbya
qualiedre-extinguisherservicingcompany.
 Whenpurchasingreextinguishingandsuppressionunits,Axisstronglyrecommends
buyingunitsthatarepreparedspecicallyforthemarineenvironment.Thestandardsforthese
unitshavebeenestablishedbytheU.S.CoastGuardandtheAmericanBoatandYachtCouncil
(ABYC).Inothercountries,followtherecommendationsandrequirementsoflocaljurisdictions
andboatingauthorities.
 Axisrecommendsreextinguishingandsuppressioninexcessoftheminimumrequire-
ments.Whileanautomaticresuppressionsystemishighlyeectiveinmostinstancesofanen-
ginecompartmentre,itispossiblethatarecouldoccurinanotherareaoftheboat.Therefore,
Axisrecommendshavingatleastone(1)hand-heldunitfullychargedandon-boardatalltimes.

The emergency engine stop switch lanyard should always be connected
between the switch and the operator when the engine is running. The
purpose of the switch is to immediately shut OFF the engine if the op-
erator moves away from the driver’s helm. Without the driver’s control,
all on-board or other boaters in the area could be subject to serious injury or ever death. Never operate
the boat without the emergency engine stop switch lanyard connected between the switch and the boat
operator. Malibu recommends the operator of the vessel always remain at the helm any time the engine
is running.
Models: Standard on all models.
