4R1: Safety - Fire Suppression System
The boat has a fire suppression system built in to the engine
room. It is thermostatically operated, and if it operates because of
a fire, it shuts down the engine lest all the fire suppressant be
ingested by the running engine’s air requirements. A control on the
helm (to starboard of the lower helm) can then be operated to
override the automatic shutdown feature.
When the green light on this control is lit, the system is
“armed” and ready for engine use. The switch should be left in the “Normal” position.
Alongside the control is a manual pull-handle to operate the fire system. Pull the
pin, than pull the lever to operate the extinguisher in the engine room.
