12.5 Stove
The portable single burner gas stove is fueled by butane gas. Butane is a flammable gas that is
heavier than air and stored in disposable pressurized fuel canisters. A manual for the stove is
included with your boat. It is extremely important that you read the manual and become familiar
with the proper care and operation of the stove before attempting to use it. The stove and butane
fuel must be properly stowed when not in use.
If you did not receive a manual for your stove, please contact the Pursuit Customer Relations
Department.
THE STOVE IS DESIGNED AS AN APPLIANCE FOR COOKING FOOD. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO USE THE STOVE TO HEAT THE CABIN. USING THE STOVE TO HEAT THE CABIN
COULD CAUSE THE STOVE TO OVER HEAT RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE STOVE
OR A CABIN FIRE.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE CABIN IS PROPERLY VENTILATED BEFORE USING THE
STOVE. THE STOVE EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE THAT IS COLORLESS
AND ODORLESS. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS POTENTIALLY
LETHAL.
12.6 Carbon Monoxide Detector
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector installed in the cabin on the rear bulkhead. If excess carbon
monoxide fumes are detected, an audible beeping will sound indicating the presence to the toxic
gas.
A by product of combustion, carbon monoxide is invisible, tasteless, odorless, and is produced by
all engines, heating and cooking appliances. The most common sources of CO on boats are
gasoline engines and auxiliary generators and propane or butane stoves. These produce large
amounts of CO and should never be operated while sleeping.
Please read the owner's manual supplied by the detector manufacturer for operation instructions and
additional information regarding the hazards of carbon monoxide gas. Also read more about
carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide detectors, and proper ventilation in the Ventilation Systems
and Safety Equipment chapters in this manual. If you did not receive a manual for your carbon
monoxide detector, please contact the Pursuit Customer Relations Department.
