WARNING
Fire Protection
The boat is equipped with two fire extinguishers with a combined capacity of 10A/68B. They are in the following
locations;
Location: Aft end of saloon at centre of sliding door Fire Rating: 5A/34B
Location: Galley. Fire Rating: 5A/34B
See diagram in manual.
Your boat is equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher system, located in the engine compartment.
(Read the manufacturers information booklet provided). It can also be manually set-off by means of the pull toggle
at the helm station(s).
In the event of a fire, the heat sensitive automatic head in the engine compartment will release a fire-extinguishing
vapor, totally flooding the area.
The dashboard contains an indicator light for the automatic fire extinguishing system. The light will be ON when
the ignition is on and indicates that the system is ready. If the light goes out while the ignition is on, the system has
discharged.
WHEN DISCHARGE OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, POWERED VENTILATION,
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, GAS SYSTEMS AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT
IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT!!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE FIRE AND THE FIRE
COULD RE-START.
Wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before opening the engine compartment. This permits the fire extinguishing vapor
to ‘soak’ the compartment long enough for hot metals and fuels to cool. Have portable extinguishers at hand and
ready to use in case the fire reignites.
DO NOT inhale fumes or vapors caused by the fire.
It is the responsibility of the owner to:
•
Have fire fighting equipment checked at intervals indicated on the equipment.
•
Replace fire-fighting equipment, if expired or discharged, by devices of identical or greater fire fighting
capacity. Fixed fire extinguishing system must be suitable for compartment volume of
3.87 m
3
(137) cu ft.
This is based on gross compartment volume less permanently installed tankage.
•
Inform members of the crew about the location and operation of fire fighting equipment.
•
Ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible when the boat is occupied.
•
NEVER obstruct passageways to exits or hatches
•
NEVER obstruct safety controls, e.g. fuel valves, gas valves, switches of the electrical system
•
NEVER obstruct portable fire extinguishers stowed in lockers
•
NEVER leave the craft unattended when cooking and/or heating appliances are in use.
•
NEVER modify any of the crafts systems (especially electrical & fuel)
•
NEVER fill any fuel tank when machinery is running or heating appliances are in use.
•
NEVER smoke whilst handling fuel.
•
Keep the bilges clean and check for fuel vapours at regular intervals.
•
When replacing parts of the fire fighting installation only use matching components, which bear the same
designation or are equivalent in their technical and fire resistant capabilities.
•
Combustible material shall not be stowed in the engine space. If non-combustible materials are stowed in the
engine space they shall be secured against falling into the machinery and shall cause no obstruction to access
in or from the space.
