SYSTEM & EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE / ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Make sure they are free of
cracks, dents, distortion, or
corrosion. If damage is found, replace generator.
•
Inspect mounting brackets, straps, and associated hardware
for loose, damaged, or broken parts. Replace damaged parts
and tighten all loose hardware.
•
Make sure that the generators are not obstructed and that
the required clearances have been met.
Post Fire Maintenance:
The following procedure must be followed in the exact
sequence to maintain boat and passenger safety:
•
After discharge, allow a minimum holding time of 10
minutes.
•
Always be sure to have portable backup extinguishers at
hand for use in the unlikely event of re-ignition.
•
Vent the area thoroughly by operating the ventilation system,
by fan extraction, or by opening engine compartment. To avoid
unwanted inhalation of fire by-products and aerosol, a protective
breathing device or mask should be worn if it is necessary to
enter prior to complete ventilation of the hazard volume.
•
Inspect the area to ensure the fire is completely
extinguished and there are no localized hot spots or other
sources of re-ignition present.
•
Clean any minor amount of residue, which was not removed
during ventilation, by thoroughly vacuuming, blowing,
brushing,
or washing away (with a water alcohol mixture) as appropriate.
Make sure that there is no agglomeration due to discharge
too close to equipment, walls etc. If any agglomeration exists,
it must be wiped or washed clean.
•
Remove the discharged Fire Suppression Extinguisher (FSE) -
make sure to wear gloves or other hand protection. The FSE
will remain quite warm to the touch for a time after actuation.
•
Dispose of spent FSE according to applicable federal, state,
and local regulations.
•
Install a new fire suppression extinguisher; be sure it works
with the actual engine compartment volume.
