2.Automatic Fire Extinguisher System (Option)

!DANGER

The 245 Performance may be equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher system located aft of the engine on the transom. In the event of a fire, the heat sensitive automatic head will release the extinguishant as a vapor, totally flooding the area in fire-killing concentrations. The system indicator light is wired to the battery and is constantly on to safeguard your boat.

Automatic Fire Extinguisher

( Fig. 7.2.1)

If the cockpit is totally enclosed with canvas covers and curtains while engine is running or boat is moving, carbon monoxide will build up and cause death or permanent injury.

Do not use the rear (aft) curtain or camper top while engine is running or boat is moving.

!DANGER

Exhaust fumes from engines contain deadly carbon monoxide gas (CO). Boats with canvas or with poor ventilation are most likely to collect fumes.

CO sickness symptoms include headache, nausea and dizziness. Do not mistake these symptoms for sea sickness.

The indicator light, located on the dash, indicates to the helmsman when the unit has discharged. Under normal circumstances, the charge indicator light is lit. If the unit discharges, the light will go out.

WHEN DISCHARGE OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ENGINE, POWERED VENTILATION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE FIRE AND FLASHBACK COULD OCCUR.

Allow the exinguishant to "soak" the compartment for at least fifteen (15) minutes and for hot metals or fuels to cool before cautiously inspecting for cause of damage. Have portable extinguishers at hand and ready. Do not breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire.

REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL PACKET FOR INSTRUCTIONSAND WARRANTY INFORMATION ON FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM.

3.Canvas

Bimini Top or sunshade must not be used when the vessel speed exceeds 45 MPH. Damage to boat or bimini may occur.

Ventilate boat. See Section 1.3, Carbon Monoxide, for more details.

Removing or installing canvas on the water can be difficult since rough water or wakes can cause you or your passengers to lose their balance while attempting canvas removal or installation.

!DANGER

In rainy and/or cold weather, fresh air must circulate through boat to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

See Section 1.3, Carbon Monoxide, for more details.

For safety and ease of installation and removal of canvas, use at least two people.
