AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 152
Fire Suppression and
Extinguishing
See also the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
Models
All
Opening an engine compartment when there is indication of a fire
inside can cause the fire to flare up and/or spread, which may result
in serious injury or death to people onboard.
Never attempt to fight a fire with your hands, feet, clothing or
other material on-board the boat, other than approved fire
suppression or fire extinguishing products as specified by Aviara.
Failure to follow directions as outlined in this section can result in
serious injury or death.
Purpose
All Aviara stern drive and generator equipped boats feature
an automatic fire suppression system. The automatic system
operates from sensors in the engine room and will automatically
release a clean-agent, gaseous chemical that does not leave
residue behind. All boats have been specified to carry an
additional hand-held 2.5 lb. monoammonium phosphate
expellant (dry chemical) unit, which is rated Class A (trash,
wood and paper), Class B (UL Approved) and Class C (energized
electrical equipment). These units should be used in situations
other than engine compartment fires.
Hand-held units should be replaced or recharged as soon
as possible after use, or after 12 years from the date of
manufacture.
In the event of any evidence of a fire within the engine
compartment, DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (BOX).
