If a fire has started in
the engine compartment
where the automatic fire
extinguisher system is
located, do not wait for
automatic activation. Release
the system manually. Close
any opened hatches leading
to the engine compartment,
shut down all forced
ventilation devices, engines,
and electrical components.
Remove the safety pin from
the “Fire” T-handle, and
pull fi rmly on the “FIRE”
cable handle which will activate the fi re extinguisher unit in the engine
compartment. A loud “rushing” or air” sound may be heard. Complete
discharge will take several seconds. Do not open the compartment
immediately! Keep the compartment closed for a period of time
suffi cient to allow the agent to soak all areas of the protected space.
This allows hot metals and fuel to cool.
KEEP ADDITIONAL MARINE APPROVED HAND HELD FIRE

SHOULD BE SERVICED PERIODICALLY.
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY!
ACCIDENTIAL DISCHARGE COULD OCCUR
DURING HANDLING, INSPECTION,
