SYSTEM OPERATIONS-42
In the event of an engine/generator com-
partment
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,
including the engine ignition and the
engine compartment ventilation blowers.
NOTE: Do NOT turn OFF power to your
VHF Radio.
DO NOT open the engine/generator
compartment 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 location. Maintain radio
contact until the crisis has ended and
assistance has arrived.
If the
fi
re is successfully extinguished,
examine the engine compartment com-
ponents for damage. DO NOT start your
engines if any damage is noted. Request
towing assistance to a safe harbor and
contact your Silverton Dealer for a thor-
ough inspection and repairs.
When replacing parts of the
fi
re
fi
ghting
installation only matching components
shall be used, bearing the same designa-

If the Green indicator light does not il-
luminate after turning on the ignition
switch or if it turns off at any time during
operation of your yacht, either at dock-
side or while underway, DO NOT open
the engine compartment for at least ten
(10) minutes. Opening the engine com-
partment immediately will allow air to
enter and may cause a
fi
re “
fl
ashback”,
possibly resulting in serious injury or
death. The sudden rush of air into the
engine compartment may also render
the automatic
fi
re extinguishing system
ineffective.
If the indicator light fails to illuminate after
turning on the ignition switch, carefully ex-
amine the exterior of the engine/generator
compartment for evidence of a
fi
re that may
have discharged the system by looking for
signs of “scorching” and by your sense of
smell.
If you do not observe or smell any evidence
of a
fi
re and you have waited the recom-
mended ten (10) minutes, open your engine
compartment and examine the Halon 1301
container actuator to determine if it has been
discharged. Refer to the Operators Manual,
which illustrates the charged and discharged
positions of the actuator. If the system has
been discharged or appears charged, but
the indicator light does not illuminate, see
your Silverton Dealer for further inspection
and repair, if necessary.
