REFER TO OWNER’S PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.
Manual Override System
The automatic fire extinguisher can be activated
manually by pulling the manual override handle
located in the port aft cockpit.
Early detection and use of the manual override
system will reduce fire damage by eliminating the
time necessary for heat in the bilge to rise sufficiently
to activate the automatic fire system.
To Operate
1. Pull pin securing the handle.
2. Pull red FIRE handle quickly and briskly.

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 fire as they are hazardous and toxic.
• When opening the hatch, have a portable fire
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 generator and the blower fan will be cut. This
insures that the compartment will be “soaked” with
extinguishant.

It is recommended that the fire suppression tank be
weighed on an accurate scale every six months. There
is a chart in the manufacturers owner’s manual that
lists the weight of the canister and contents.
