5.5 LPG SYSTEM
The Axopar craft can be equipped with an LPG system for a cooker, as an
optional extra. The system consists of a cooker (1) and gas cylinder (2). The
system is tested and approved before delivery. The apparatus is equipped
with a shut-off valve (in connection with the cooker) and a decompression
valve. A ventilation hole is provided on the outside of the hull in the space
where the gas cylinder is installed. A fire blanket must be installed right next
to the cooker.
Fuels that produce a naked flame consume oxygen and discharge combustion
products into the boat. Good ventilation is therefore essential when an
appliance is in use. The cabin door must be kept open when using the cooker.
Never:
•
use an open flame when detecting leaks.
•
use the cooker or oven for heating the boat.
•
cover ventilation openings. (The boat owner should keep information
about locations of ventilation openings and types in every space where
a gas appliance is installed.)
•
leave the boat unattended when LPG appliances are in use.
•
Do not smoke or use open flames when a gas container is being
replaced.
Before opening the valve to the gas container, make sure that the
appliance valves are properly closed
Appliances which burn fuel consume oxygen in the cabin and discharge
combustion products into the boat. Ventilation is essential when using
appliances. Open vents as indicated, when using gas appliances.
The fire blanket must be stored in the correct position
