11.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the engines from
being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. If the engines will not
start, slight movement of the shift levers may be necessary to locate the neutral position and disengage the
safety cutout switch. Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this condition should it persist.
See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments. Please refer to the Helm Control Systems
chapter for more information on the neutral safety switch.
11.4 Automatic Fire Extinguishing System
The engine compartment is equipped with an
automatic fire extinguishing system. The equip-
ment has been chosen and located to provide
sufficient volume and coverage of the entire
engine compartment area. While the system
ensures excellent bilge fire protection, it does not
eliminate the U.S. Coast Guard requirement for
hand held fire extinguishers.
The system is equipped with an engine shut-down
circuit that automatically shuts down the engines,
optional generator and blowers when the system
is activated. The red light on the fire extinguisher
control panel will light and an alarm will sound
if this should occur. When sufficient time has elapsed for the fire to be extinguished and a flashback is no
longer possible, find and fix the problem, then the override switch on the control panel can be moved to the
“OVERRIDE” position and the engines can be restarted. If activation should occur, immediately shut down
all engines. Turn off all electrical systems, powered ventilation and extinguish all smoking materials. Do
not open the engine compartment hatch immediately!! This feeds oxygen to the fire and flashback could result.
Allow the extinguishing agent to soak the engine compartment for at least 15 minutes and wait for hot metals
or fuels to cool before cautiously inspecting for cause or damage. Have an approved portable fire extinguisher
at hand and ready for use. Do not breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire!! Diesel engines will consume
extinguishing agent. If the system discharges and the engines do not automatically shut down, they must be
immediately shut down manually. If a diesel engine is allowed to run in this situation, it will consume the
extinguishing agent and a flashback could result.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE FIRE EX-
TINGUISHING SYSTEM MANUFACTURER CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND
THE SYSTEM IN THEORY AND OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.
