Do not open the engine room access hatch, until the fire is completely extinguished.

Before activating the fire-fighting system, make sure nobody is inside the engine room. After making sure that the fire is completely extinguished, activate the ventilation system before entering the engine room, and then clean up the deposits of the fire extinguisher discharge.

The automatic fire extinguishing system does not block the possible escape of oil, only suitable tie-rods are able to block this.
Always apply the tie rods “FUEL” in the event of a discharge.

The chemical agents for extinguishing fires and the residues of a discharge system are toxic. To avoid diseases, injuries or death caused by the breathing of fumes, make sure that nobody stays in the engine room during the system discharge.

The presence of the safety pin inserted in the fire extinguisher prevents the activation of the manual discharge (via the tie rod).

An automatic fire-fighting system can cause fire to spread out again. If fire spreads again, the passengers on board are in danger. Even the opening of the engine room access hatch can cause through oxygen a new fire spread. If fire spreads out again, to avoid heavy injuries or even death, do not open the hatch or engine room access door until the fire has been completely extinguished.

Before entering in the engine room after a fire, make sure that this has been completely extinguished. Before entering this room ventilate it by opening the hatchways.

The fire-extinguishing cylinder/s has a safety pin. Check that the above-mentioned pin has actually been removed. If this is not the case, should fire spread out, the cylinder/s would be jammed and would not discharge with consequent possibility of heavy damages to your yacht up to its sinking.
