2260 DENALI
9.6 Automatic Fire Extinguishing System (Optional)
The Denali engine compartment could be equipped with an optional automatic fire extinguishing
system. The equipment has been chosen and located to provide sufficient volume and coverage
of the entire engine compartment area. While the system ensures excellent bilge fire protection, it
does not eliminate the U.S. Coast Guard requirement for hand held fire extinguishers.
The automatic fire extinguishing system is automatically activated when the temperature in the
engine compartment reaches a specific temperature, usually around 165
0
F. The system is equipped
with an indicator light. Under normal circumstances, whenever the ignition key is turned on, the
indicator light will glow. This indicates that the system is operating and ready for activation if
necessary. If the indicator light does not glow when the ignition switch is turned on, either the
system has discharged or there is a problem that should be corrected before using the boat. Should
the unit discharge during the operation of the boat, the lamp will go off.
IF ACTIVATION SHOULD OCCUR, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, ELECTRI-
CAL SYSTEMS, POWERED VENTILATION AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS.
DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HATCH IMMEDIATELY!! THIS FEEDS OXY-
GEN TO THE FIRE AND FLASH BACK COULD RESULT. ALLOW THE EXTINGUISHING
AGENT TO SOAK THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AND WAIT
FOR HOT METALS OR FUELS TO COOL BEFORE CAUTIOUSLY INSPECTING FOR CAUSE
OR DAMAGE. HAVE AN APPROVED PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AT HAND AND
READY FOR USE. DO NOT BREATH FUMES OR VAPORS CAUSED BY THE FIRE!!
IF THE AUTOMATIC FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED IN YOUR BOAT, THE
OWNER'S MANUAL PROVIDED BY THE SYSTEM MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE INCLUDED.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM IN THEORY AND OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.
IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE THE FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL,
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPART-
MENT.
