MasterCraft X-2 User Manual

Fire Suppression and Extinguishing
All MasterCraft V-drives are equipped with an automatic re suppression sys-
tem. The automatic system operates from sensors in the engine room and will au-
tomatically release a clean-agent, gaseous chemical that does not leave residue
behind. In boats sold domestically, this is the FE-241 system; internationally, it is
the FM-200 system.
It is also possible to activate the system manually on the FE-241 system only.
Pull the pin with the red tag , and then pull the red re handle to set the system
in operation.
In case of an engine compartment re, shut down the engine and blowers be-
fore 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.
After the suppression system has been used, the re extinguisher canister
will be empty. The boat owner/operator should have the canister replaced as
soon as practicable.
V-drive boats have also been specied to carry a hand-held 2.5 lb. monoammo-
nium 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 res.
All V-drives are specied for one (1) dry chemical, hand-held extinguisher. This is
in addition to the suppression system in the engine compartment.
Hand-held units should be replaced or recharged as soon as possible after use.
Chemical discharge should be cleaned from all surfaces as soon as possible and
prior to running the boat again, unless operation is necessary to return to shore.
The boat should never be operated following a re until after a determina-
tion has been made whether operation may result in another re. If any danger
of an additional re exists, the boat should be towed to shore or dock rather than
running the engine(s).
Consumers who choose to purchase re control equipment from resources
other than MasterCraft must follow the instructions and requirements as listed
within the engine compartment regarding suitability for the compartment vol-
ume. These standards are established by the ABYC.
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 dock for service by an authorized MasterCraft dealer prior to
operating again. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury/illness.
Head
The following general information is provided for in-
stalled heads. See specic information provided by the man-
ufacturer.
Preparing the head for use:
Step 1: With the seat lid closed, pull the ush handle to open
the slide valve. Then push to close. This relieves air
pressure that may be created in the lower holding
tank due to changes in temperature or altitude.
Step 2: Remove the water cap and ll the upper tank until
it reaches about 1 inch (25 mm) below the opening.
Replace the cap.
Step 3: Pull the ush handle to open slide valve.
Step 4: Pour deodorant directly into the lower tank, then
close the slide valve. Do NOT pour deodorant into
the bowl with the slide valve closed.
Step 5: Stroke the air pump about 15 times or until air emits
through the relief valve on the water cap. Do not
over-pressurize the upper tank by covering the re-
lief valve. Do not let the upper tank pressurize when
it is disconnected from the lower tank.
