5. Fire protection
5.1 Fire Prevention
During the construction of the Dehler 35 we have paid special attention to avoid the risk of
fire. This includes careful consideration of the choice of materials, the distance between the
cooker burner flames and the surrounding built-in furnishings and the onboard diesel engine,
with the engine compartment lined with self-extinguishing insulation material.
As owner of the yacht you should keep everything the same and observe the following
instructions:
IMPORTANT
Keep the bilges clean and check regularly whether the yacht smells of diesel
fuel or gas.
Do not keep inflammable material in the engine compartment. If you store
non-inflammable materials in the engine compartment, they should be
secured so that they cannot fall into the engine system and do not hinder the
access to the engine.
You and your crew can contribute to fire prevention by complying with the following:
Never
block the way to exits and hatches;
block access to safety devices such as fuel and gas valves or switches on
electrical installations;
change anything on the sailing boat (certainly nothing concerning electric,
fuel or gas systems);
leave the yacht unattended, whilst using cookers and/or heating appliances.
Never
use gas lamps on the yacht;
fill the tank or replace the gas bottles with the engine running
or whilst using the cooker;
smoke when handling diesel or gas.
