Automatic Fire Extinguisher
If installed, the automatic
fire extinguishing
system is located in the
engine room. See the
illustration. The system
uses an environmentally
friendly agent FE-241
which has been approved
by the EPA to replace the
old Halon agent. This
system is formulated only for use in the engine compartment of your
vessel. FE-241 is specifi ed for gasoline fuel systems only.
Operation-Automatic
Automatic fi re extinguisher systems are not nor are they intended to be
explosion suppression devices. Boat owners still need to take normal
precautions for checking gasoline fumes and using blowers.
Read the information regarding the dash and manual operation portions
of the fi re extinguisher system. When the system actuation starts you
may hear a loud sound similar to that of small arms fi re, followed by
a rushing air sound.
