THREE (3) YEAR “FG” AND “FD” SERIES LIMITED WARRANTY
We warranty to the original retail purchaser, all SEA-FIRE extinguishers for a period of three (3)
years after retail purchase against defective material and faulty workmanship. Any system found
to be defective during the warranty period will be repaired if possible, or replaced free of charge if
classified non-refillable (according to product label) upon the prepaid return of the defective
system. Proof of purchase required, otherwise date of manufacturer on extinguisher label will
apply. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may vary by state or country.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS MADE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH
RESPECT TO THE SYSTEM INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY
OTHER WARRANTY, OR TO ASSUME FOR SEA-FIRE MARINE ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OR INSTALLATION OF ITS PRODUCTS. REPLACEMENT OF
THE SYSTEM WILL BE THE SOLE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY. BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON SELLER’S JUDGMENT REGARDING BUYER’S
PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS AND BUYER HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE
PRODUCT TO BUYER’S SATISFACTION.
CONDITIONS
All Sea-Fire products are tested after manufacture and shipped in perfect working order.
Damage noted upon receipt of shipment should be addressed as a shipping claim, the filing of
which is the sole responsibility of the consignee for which the total compensatory award will be
limited to that appropriated by the carrier. Insured freight costs are the responsibility of the
consignee. Missing component parts and damage noted upon installation are typically the
result of mishandling during the installation process and will not qualify for warranty coverage.
Incidents of accidental discharge are not indicative of product failure — heed product warnings
to avoid injury and/or associated costs. No returns will be processed without proper return
authorization.

7C) WHEN PERFORMING SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE ON SYSTEM. BE SURE TO
REMOVE SAFETY PIN FROM ACTUATOR LEVER UPON COMPLETION OF SERVICING.
INDICATOR LIGHT OPERATION
All Sea-Fire extinguishers approved for marine applications are packaged with an indicator light
and escutcheon. The indicator light (unless replaced by another Sea-Fire method) must be
installed for system supervision and operator awareness. When properly installed, activation of
electrical power to the system will illuminate the light indicating normal charged condition. System
discharge or loss of pressure will immediately extinguish the indicator light. In the event that the
indicator light is not lit when power is applied, check for the following conditions:
1. Check pressure indicator gauge for proper range
2. Check fuse and indicator light and replace if defective (lamp replacements
available from factory).
3. Check for loose electrical connections.
4. Remove and weigh system cylinder as described in Maintenance Section of the
manual.
INDICATOR LIGHT INSTALLATION
Select a location at the helm on or near the console that is in full view of the helmsman. The
location selected must have access for electrical wiring. Remove the adhesive protective cover
from back of indicator escutcheon and attach. For proper adhesion, surface must be clean and
dry and temperature must be above 50°F (10°C). Use the preformed escutcheon hole as a
template and carefully drill a 5/16-inch (8 mm) hole. Insert indicator light wire through hole and
seat light assembly by pressing clip into position. Indicator light is now ready for wiring (see
Figure 3).
CAUTION: PRIOR TO WIRING INDICATOR LIGHT TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER BY
SWITCHING OFF CIRCUIT BREAKER, REMOVING FUSE OR DISCONNECTING POSITIVE
BATTERY TERMINAL. FAILURE TO DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER WHILE MAKING
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM FIRE OR ELECTRICAL BURNS.
The indicator light is rated for 12 VDC (contact factory for other voltages). Wire in accordance
with the American Boating and Yacht Council standard E-9 “Direct Current Electrical System on
Boats, copies of which may be obtained from ABYC, Edgewater, MD USA 21037, (410) 956-
1050.
