n 11.2 Gas system
The starboard cockpit locker has been designed to store two gas car-
tridges.
The circuits opening / closing valves are located in the cupboard at the
left of the oven.
The boat in her U.S. version has an electrovalve located in the locker
where the bottles are stored.
Turn on the electronically controlled valve using the related circuit
breaker on the electrical panel.
l
GAS LEAK DETECTION
The gas circuit is equipped with a leak detection system.
Standard version: a bubble leak detector is placed on the circuit after
the regulator in the cylinder storage container.
When the cylinder is open (system pressurised) and the valve under
the gas appliance is closed, press the red button on the detector.
If nothing happens, the circuit is sealed.
The appearance of bubbles in the detector liquid signals a leak on the
gas circuit.

RECOMMENDATION
Close the gas valve and turn off the regulator tap
when the stove and oven are not used.
US version: a pressure gauge is placed on the circuit after the regulator
in the cylinder storage container.
When the cylinder is open (system pressurised) and the valve under
the appliance is closed, the pressure on the manometer must remain
constant.
If the pressure drops then this means that there is a leak on the gas
circuit.
n 11.3 Fire
The boat is delivered with no extinguisher.
Be sure:
- To fit the boat with extinguishers in pursuance of the regulations of
the country where your boat is registered.
- To have the extinguishers checked in accordance with the instruc-
tions given.
- To refill or replace the extinguishers by similar equipment if the ex-
tinguishers have been used or are out of date.
- Make sure the extinguishers are accessible when people are on
board.
Tell the crew:
- where the extinguishers are and how they work.
- where the extinguisher hole in the engine bay is (under the aft cabins
berths, both on the port and starboard sides).
- where the emergency exits are.
DANGER
In case of a leak, turn off the gas circuit immediately.
Call a professional immediately to repair gas system.
