The carbon dioxide unit uses
CO2 gas under high pres-
sure, with a funnel discharge
hose usually swivel mounted.
This extinguisher leaves no
residue and does not cause interior engine harm.
To ensure workability, weigh the unit annually. A
10% maximum weight variance is allowed.
Another type of liquefied gas used today is FE-241.
This gas is colorless and odorless, heavier than
air and sinks to the lower bilge to extinguish fires.
Since the year 2000 ingredients have changed to
a more environmental friendly formula (Chlorotet-
rafluoroethane or FE-241). FE-241 is used in por-
table-hand units along with making up the majority
of boat automatic fire extinguishing systems. The
canister needs to be weighed once a year. These
clean agent units feature a dash mount indicator.
Refer to the information regarding fire prevention
in this manual.
