FIRE EXTINGUISHER- AUTOMATIC
OVERVIEW
Th
e Fireboy automatic fi re extinguishing system is lo-
cated in the bilge at the forward engine bulkhead. See the
illustration. Th
e system uses a environmentally friendly
agent FE-241 which has been approved by the EPA to
replace the old Halon agent. Th
is system is formulated
only for use in the engine space or bilge of your vessel.
FE-241 is to be used with gasoline fuel systems only since
the agent will not “stall” diesel engines. Th
is could cause
a fi
re to re-fl ash.
Fireboy systems are not nor are they intended to be ex-
plosion suppression devices. Boat owner’s still need to
take normal precautions for checking fumes and using
blowers.
Read the information in chapter 4 regarding the dash
installed portion of the fi re extinguisher system. When
the system actuation starts you may hear a loud sound
simiar to that of small arms fi re, followed by a rushing
air sound.
Th
e system will show actuation whenever the ignition
key is ON and the indicator light is OFF. Th
e actual
actuation time when a fi re occurs is dependent on the
severity of the fi re.
When the automatic fi re extinguisher activates IMME-
DIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED
VENTILATION (BLOWER), ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS.
DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IM-
MED
IATELY!
Allow the agent to “soak” the compartment for a period of
time and wait for hot metals and any fuels to cool before
inspecting for the fi re cause. Premature opening of the
engine compartment allows an in-rushing of oxygen and
could result in a fl ash-back. When the engine compart-
ment is opened have approved portable fi re extinguishers
ready to use.
OPERATION-AUTOMATIC
OPERATION-MANUAL
If a fi re has started in the engine compartment where the
Fireboy is located, DO NOT WAIT FOR AUTOMATIC
ACTIVATION. Release the system manually. Close any
opened hatches leading to the engine compartment, shut
down all forced ventilation devices, engines, generators
and electrical components. Remove the safety pin from
the “Fire” T-handle, and pull T-handle fi rmly and release.
A loud “rushing” or air” sound will be heard. Complete
discharge will take several seconds. DO NOT OPEN
THE COMPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY! Keep the
compartment closed for a period of time suffi
cient to
allow the agent to soak all areas of the protected space.
Th
is allows hot metals to cool.
