2460 Denali
11.6 Automatic Fire Extinguishing System
The Denali engine compartment is 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 at the helm. 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!!
THE OWNER'S MANUAL PROVIDED BY THE FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM MANUFAC-
TURER SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH YOUR BOAT. 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 DEPARTMENT.
