Precaution for use
WARNING
The extinguishing liquid is an irritant to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tracts, and is harmful if swallowed. Avoid
ingestion, inhalation, contact with the eyes, and prolonged and repeated contact with the skin.
In the event of contact with the eyes, wash thoroughly with water for at least 10 minutes. In the event of
accidental contact with the skin, immediately wash the affected body part with plenty of soap and water.
In the event of inhalation, bring the subject to a well - v e n t i l a t e d area. If any signs of illness occur, seek
medical assistance. In the event of ingestion, do not induce vomiting, but seek immediate
medical assistance. The extinguishing liquid contains ethylene glycol.
WARNING
Before every race, replace the battery in the electrical control. If the battery is dead, the system will not activate.
WARNING
Before every race check that the tamper-proof seal on your system is undisturbed. An extinguishing system
with a damaged tamper-proof seal is not safe, and must be immediately checked and possibly replaced. If the
seal is compromised, immediately contact your installer to check the system and replace it if necessary.
WARNING
Before every race, make sure that the needle on the bottle gauge is in the green zone. When the
bottle gauge needle is outside the green zone, the extinguishing system is drained and must be
charged.
If the bottle gauge needle is outside the green zone, contact your OMP authorized dealer to charge the
system. An intact tamper-proof seal and gauge needle in the green zone ensure that the system is compliant
and indicate that it is ready for use.
WARNING
Corrosion may render the system unsafe and reduce its functionality. When the vehicle is used for long periods
in damp or saline environments, the system should be checked or replaced. Corrosion phenomena can
compromise the functionality of the extinguishing system. To protect your system against corrosion, make sure
that the vehicle's electrical system has no leaks. Leaks from the electrical system can result in electrolytic
corrosion. A battery that unexpectedly loses its charge is a sign of likely leaks from the electrical system. Other
signs can include malfunctions of indicator lights and or control units in the vehicle. If your vehicle has not been
used for an extended period, or has been subject to flooding or lengthy exposure to high salinity environments,
have your system checked to make sure that no corrosion has begun.
