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.

dissipate before opening the hatch.

to activate the automatic fire system.
