Operation

manually override the HFC-227 fire extinguishing system on all
non-CE packaged boats. Pull the pin from the red handle labeled
FIRE near the helm seat. Pull up on the FIRE handle to deploy
the system.

Special Attention
In case of an engine compartment fire, shut down the engines
and blowers before manual discharge, or immediately following
the automatic discharge. Boats are equipped with a discharge
indication light at the instrument panel or on the video display
gauge at the helm.
Following the activation of the automatic fire suppression system
or a hand-held fire extinguisher, a careful determination should be
made as to whether the boat can safely be operated. If there is any
doubt or concern whatsoever, the boat should be towed to shore
and/or a dock for service by an authorized Aviara dealer prior to
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 extensive damage or even sinking of the boat and/
or serious injury or death to people on board. Shut down the
engine and blowers. Continuously discharge the entire contents
of the fire suppression unit immediately.
Be cautious when working inside the engine compartment. Do not
hit or break the automatic fire suppression system. If the system is
damaged, tampered with or destroyed, the system will need to be
replaced as soon as possible.
Location
Automatic Fire Extinguishers: Automatic fire extinguishers are
located in the engine compartments. The locations of automatic
fire suppression override units’ manual override varies by model,
but generally is in the vicinity of the helm.
Manual Fire Extinguishers: The manual fire extinguisher is located
under the port side bench seat and is easily accessible. Be certain
to determine the location of all fire suppression and extinguishing
units on the boat. Your authorized Aviara dealer can assist you.
