!
DANGER
DO NOT handle the extinquisher actuator. The
fi re supression system is under pressure (195
psi.). Accidental discharge may result in death
or serious injury.
Fire Supression System
The 370 Outrage has a USCG
approved automatic
fi re supression
system which is located in the
forward port bilge by the battery
trays and can be accessed by lifting
the hatch in the aft cockpit deck.
The system will activate when the
temperature in the enclosed area
reaches 165°F (74°C).
When activated there will be a bang, (similar to small
arms fi re) followed by a rushing air sound. Once
activated the diesel engine and blower will shut down
automatically.
!
DANGER
Inhalation of high concentrates of the contents
of the fi re supression tank may cause sudden
death without warning.
Skin contact will require fl ushing of the area with
water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate
medical assistance.
NOTICE
The fi re extinguishant contained in this unit
is CHLOROTETRAFLUORATHANE, None of
the components in this material is listed by
major health associations as a carcinogen.
Toxic by-products are produced when this
agent extinguishes fi re. Avoid breathing these
fumes.
NEVER attempt to modify or disassemble any
components of this system. If the system has
been discharged, have a qualifi ed technician
replace it.
!
CAUTION
There is an engine shutdown/override switch located
on the control station, below the steering wheel
(See fi g. 3.34.1) which indicates the condition of
the system.
The switch has two indicator lights that need to be
monitored. When the system is operating normally
and is fully charged, the
GREEN
light will be lit.
When the system has been discharged, the
RED
light will be lit, and all precautions must be made
to safeguard the boat against the possibility of fi re
spreading beyond the compartment. If no fi re is
indicated and the discharge light is lit, there might
be a leak in the system. It is recommended that the
gauge be checked daily to insure that operation is
normal.
In The Event of Discharge:
• Shut down all electrical systems, engines and
extinguish all smoking materials.
• Allow the agent to “soak” the compartment
for at least 15 minutes.
• DO NOT open the machinery access
compartment hatch.
• DO NOT breathe the fumes or vapors caused
by fi re as they are hazardous and toxic.
• When opening the hatch, have a portable fi re
extinguisher at hand and ready for use.
• High concentrations of the agent may cause
DEATH without warning. The vapor
reduces available oxygen for breathing.
• If possible; allow the compartments vapor to
dissipate before opening the hatch.
Once the system has been discharged the power to
the diesel generator and the blower fan will be cut.
This insures that the compartment will be “soaked”
with extinguishant. Once the danger of fi re has been
extinguished, the toggle switch can be moved from
“NORMAL” to “OVERRIDE”. This will allow
power to the diesel generator and the blower fan.
