CAUTION:
1.
DO NOT INSTALL IN AN AREA DESIGNATED FOR OCCUPANCY.
2.
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
3.
HANDLE THE CYLINDER WITH EXTREME CARE.
4.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
5.
DO NOT LIFT OR CARRY CYLINDER BY THE MANIFOLD OR ACTUATOR
COMPONENTS.
6.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOOSEN OR REMOVE ANY EXTINGUISHER COMPONENT.
7.
DO NOT ATTACH SEA-FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON UNDERSIDE OF COVER OR
COMPARTMENT HATCH THAT COULD BE THROWN CLEAR DUE TO POSSIBLE
EXPLOSION.
8.
DO NOT MOUNT WHERE AN ACCUMULATION OF STANDING WATER COULD BLOCK
SENSOR OR CAUSE CORROSION.
EXTINGUISHER INSTALLATION:
Step 1
Carefully remove extinguisher from carton and visually check for damage in shipment.
Step 2
To ensure that the extinguisher is operational, both the weight and pressure indicator
must conform with the extinguisher specification as shown on the nameplate. Weigh
extinguisher (less bracket) on an accurate calibrated scale before installing. Record
date and weight on tag provided for this purpose.
Step 3
Choose a location that is as high as possible on compartment bulkhead for mounting.
Generally, it is preferred to locate the detector head near the area in which a fire is most
likely to occur. This would be on the fuel line side of the engine, near the carburetor, or
fuel pump. When mounting in a confined engine space, keep detector head away from
exhaust manifold.
Step 4
Loosen mounting bracket cylinder holding straps (Figure 1) and remove extinguisher
from bracket. Although the sensor valve/detector is protected, care should be exercised
to avoid striking the sensor valve/detector.
