AUTOMATIC FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Automatic Fire Extinguisher
This optional system installs a fi xed fi re
extinguisher mounted along the engine
compartment wall. The extinguishing
system uses an environmentally friendly
agent HFC227 ea. This colorless, odorless
gas is liquefi ed in the canister until
deployment. The agent has acceptable toxicity ratings in enclosed
spaces of your engine compartment’s size and is approved by the EPA.
It leaves no residue upon discharge in your engine compartment.
The fi re extinguisher should be checked according to manufacturer
specifi cations by a marine professional. DO NOT attempt to
disassemble the fi re extinguishing contraption. This fi xed system is
not intended to be explosion suppressive. Boat owner’s need to take
normal precautions for checking gasoline fumes and using blowers.
Your automatic fi re extinguisher uses an actuator to discharge.
This is usually enclosed by a metal cage. DO NOT handle the fi re
extinguisher at this location. Sensors are mounted to the extinguisher
to detect a fi re. A pressure gauge is also mounted to make checkups
a lot easier.
A manual dishcharge cable runs from the fi re extinguisher to the helm
or aft cockpit where a “T” handle and pin can manually dishcarge the
extinguisher. If a fi re starts, DO NOT wat for the automatic system
to take effect - manually discharge the system by removing the pin and
pulling the “T” handle.
