Electric Grill in Wet Bar (Optional)
The electric grill if equipped is located in the cockpit
web bar and operates on AC power. The grill can be
used when the boat is connected to shore power or
when generator is operating.
Custom Dual Position Forward Bed
The aft end of the forward salon bed can be raised
or lowered by a switch located at the forward end of
the bed on the starboard side or by a switch located
on the bulkhead aft of the forward shower door.
AUTOMATIC FIRE EXTINGUISHER
SYSTEM
The 420 Premiere is equipped with an automatic fire
extinguisher system located in the aft starboard
bilge. In the event of a fire, the heat sensitive auto-
matic head will release the extinguishant as a vapor,
totally flooding the area in fire-killing concentrations.
The system indicator light is wired to the ignition,
blowers, and generator set. These are turned ON
when the ignition is turned ON.
The system incorporates a shutdown switch with
override system located on the control station instru-
ment panel that shuts down the engines, blowers
and generator set. The switch indicates to the
helmsman when the unit has discharged. Under
normal circumstances, when the engines are oper-
ating, the charge indicator light is lit. If the unit dis-
charges, the charge light will go out and the dis-
charge light will come on.
WHEN ACTUATION OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED VENTI-
LATION, AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND
EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO
NOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINE COM-
PARTMENT!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE
FIRE AND FLASHBACK COULD OCCUR.
Allow agent to fill entire engine compartment for at
least 15 minutes. Hot metals or fuel can also begin
cooling during this time. Cautiously inspect compart-
ment for cause of fire and damage to equipment.
Have portable extinguishers readily available. Do
not breathe fire fumes or vapors.
Note: See the manufacturer’s owner’s manual
for detailed information about safety precau-
tions and procedures for operating and main-
taining the fire extinguishing system.
MANUAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM
The manual fire extinguisher system, located at the
control station, allows the operator to manually acti-
vate the automatic extinguisher in the engine room.
Early detection and use of the manual override sys-
tem will reduce fire damage by eliminating the time
necessary for heat in the engine room to rise to a
temperature necessary to activate the automatic fire
extinguisher. (See Figure 8.13)
To Operate:
1. Pull pin securing the handle.
2. Pull red FIRE handle quickly and briskly.
