Notes for the attention of the boat user
General points
- Check that the bilges are clean and frequently check that there are no fuel/gas vapours or fuel leaks.
- When replacing components of the fire-fighting equipment, use only appropriate components of the same code
designation or with the equivalent technical capacity and fire resistance.
- Do not install free-hanging curtains or other fabrics near or above the cooking appliances or other equipment with a
naked flame.
- Do not store combustible materials in the engine compartment. If non-combustible materials are stored in the engine
compartment they must be secured so there is no danger of them falling on machinery and they do not obstruct access to
and from the compartment.
- The
CO
2
extinguishers must only be used only to fight electrical fires .
- The fire exits other than the door or main companionway are identified by the following symbol:
7.4.2 Smoke alarm
General points
- The smoke detector is a photoelectric detector which operates with a 9 V alkaline battery (battery included).
- The detector emits a flashing red light every minute in normal operation.
- The smoke detector is designed to operate between 0° and + 50°C.
- Whenever any smoke is detected, the 85 dB alarm is triggered.
- The smoke detector is not designed to stop a fire from breaking out. It serves to warn the people onboard of the danger.
- The detector is a device which warns people onboard in the event of smoke.
Actions to take if the alarm is triggered: The skipper should check the source of the smokeand attempt to extinguish the
fire with the resources at his/her disposal. If the fire spreads, the skipper must immediately evacuate the entire crew.
- The service life of the smoke detector is approximately 10 years. Beyond 10 years, replace the smoke detector with an
identical device.
- The smoke detector is not a gas detector.
- The smoke detector is sensitive to dust and steam:
avoid exposing the detector to these environments to
prevent the triggering of unwanted alarms.
- Never use a rechargeable battery.
- Never trigger the alarm deliberately to check the
operation of the detector.
- A dirty detector may activate incorrectly or late. It is
important to clean each detector for the safety of people
onboard.
- Never cover the smoke detector (with paint or ceiling
panels, for example) and in general do not alter the
appearance of the detector.
- Do not fit the smoke detector in a different location
from the one specified for the purpose.
