IMPORTANT:
It is the craft owner’s responsibility to periodically inspect and
replace the sacrificial zinc anodes. Damage resulting from
electrolytic corrosion is not covered by the CROWNLINE Boats,
Inc. warranty. If the anode has deteriorated 50% or more, replace it
for continued protection. DO NOT paint an anode, its fasteners or
its mounting surface. Paint and improper contact with its mounting
surface will reduce the anode’s protection capabilities. Make sure
the contact between the anode and its mounting surface is clean
and secure.
FIRE-PREVENTION SYSTEMS (OPTIONAL)
Risk of flashback hazard or exposure to toxic fumes will cause
death or serious injury. DO NOT open the engine compartment if
actuation occurs. Fresh air can cause flashback and an open
compartment can release fumes.
The automatic fire-extinguishing system, located in the engine compartment, is wired
to a 5 Amp circuit breaker/fuse located at the helm. The circuit MUST BE ON before
starting the engine. In the event of a fire, FE-241 or optional FM-200 (for European
requirements) gas is released through a heat-sensitive automatic nozzle. The FE-241
or optional FM-200 gas should completely fill the engine compartment and extinguish
the fire.
When actuation occurs immediately:
•
TURN OFF
engine.
•
SHUT DOWN
electrical systems.
•
EXTINGUISH
all smoking materials.
•
DO NOT
open the engine compartment.
•
DO NOT
breathe fire caused by fumes or vapors.
•
GET OFF
the craft.
•
Have portable extinguishers readily available.
•
Wait at least 15 minutes for hot metals or fuels to cool down.
Use caution to inspect the cause of the fire and damage to the engine compartment.
Automatic fire-prevention systems are installed only in normally unoccupied areas.
Principal health hazards are:
•
Inhalation of high concentrations of chemicals used in fire-prevention systems
can cause death without warning.
•
Vapor reduces oxygen available for breathing and is heavier than air.
•
Contact with liquid can cause frostbite.
•
Liquid-concentrated agent and by-product of application to fire are toxic. Avoid
breathing fumes.
