Operation-Manual
If a fi re has started in the engine compartment where the automatic
fi re extinguisher system is located, do not wait for automatic activation.
Release the system manually. Close any opened hatches, 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. The manual release system is located in cockpit.
Locate and learn how to use it!
