2.6.2 Operation
Gas installations require care. That’s why you should follow this sequence:
Attention:
-
Do not use liquids containing ammonia for checking the pipe.
-
Never handle with open light and do not smoke if you look for leakage
or if you connect a new gas cylinder.
And here is some more advice on how to prevent difficulties with the gas installation:
-
Close all gas valves if the stove is not in use. In a case of emergency you should close the valves
immediately.
-
The stove valves have to be closed before the gas cylinder valve is opened.
-
Check the L.P.G. installation for possible leakages regularly. Check all connections with soap suds or
the like (for doing so the stove valves have to be closed – all other valves of the installation have to
be open).
-
If you find any leakages close all valves and have the installation repaired by a specialist before
further use.
-
Since the flames consume oxygen a proper airing and deaeration is necessary. Do not use the stove
for heating the cabin.
-
Valves of empty gas cylinders have to be closed and disconnected from the installation. Have the
covers ready.
-
Do not use the gas cylinder casing for storing other equipment.
-
Never leave your yacht unattended if the stove is in use.
-
Check the hose pipes at least once a year . Have them replaced if necessary.
-
If you install a new stove make sure that is has got the same working pressure.
-
Check the exhaust gas pipes at least once a year. Replace them if they a defective.
2.7 Fire protection
When building the yacht special attention was payed to avoid the risks of fire. This includes the choice of
materials, the distance of stove flames to the surrounding built-in furniture and an island position of the
engine. The engine room has got a lining with fire resistant insulating material.
As the owner of the yacht you should keep this state and pay attention to the following advice:
Attention
- Open the stop valve in the gas cylinder casing
- Open the valve before the stove
- Open a stove valve and lighten the gas
- Keep the valve open until the glow timer allows further burning.
Attention
For finishing follow the same (above mentioned) sequence from the
valve in the gas cylinder casing to the stove valve to allow all gas in the
piping to escape and burn.
