the actuator. If the system has been discharged or
appears charged, but the indicator light does not

In the event of an engine/generator compartment
fi re, the following steps should be taken to avoid the
likelihood of personal injury or death and to minimize
property damage:
Remain calm and avoid panic.
Immediately turn OFF all electrical power, includ-
ing the Engine Ignition and the Engine Compart-
ment Ventilation Blowers.
NOTE: Do NOT turn
OFF power to your VHF Radio.
DO NOT open the Engine/Generator Compart-
ment for at least ten (10) minutes to allow the
Halon vapor to extinguish the
fi re.
Remove your portable fi re extinguisher from
its mounting bracket and prepare it for use, if
necessary.
Instruct all passengers to put on their Personal
Flotation Devices (PFD’s) and move away from
the source of the
fi re.
Contact the United States Coast Guard on your
VHF Radio and advise of your situation and loca-
tion. Maintain radio contact until the crisis has
ended and assistance has arrived.
If the fi re is successfully extinguished, examine
the Engine Compartment components for dam-
age. DO NOT start your Engines if any damage
is noted. Request towing assistance to a safe
harbor and contact your Silverton Dealer for a
thorough inspection and repairs.
When replacing parts of the fi re fi ghting installa-
tion, only matching components shall be used;
bearing the same designation or being equivalent
in their technical and
fi re resistant capabilities.
REFER to the Manufacturer’s Manual for a de-
tailed description of your AUTOMATIC FIRE EX-
TINGUISHER SYSTEM. Be certain to complete
the Warranty Card and mail to the manufacturer
within ten (10) days of your purchase.
