Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install strictly according to the manufacturer manual, approved fire control plan and vessel classification requirements. Keep extinguishers, hydrants, hoses, alarms and breathing apparatus accessible, correctly marked and protected from heat, vibration and seawater exposure. Fixed systems require approved piping, nozzles, release controls and warning signage. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Perform inspections, servicing and testing at intervals required by SOLAS, the FSS Code, the manufacturer and the vessel's planned maintenance system. Check pressure, seals, hoses, nozzles, cylinders, alarms and release mechanisms. Keep service records and ensure extinguishers and breathing-air cylinders are periodically inspected and recharged by competent personnel. |
| Safety Notes | Use only for the fire class and hazard identified on the equipment label. Evacuate and raise the alarm before attempting firefighting. Do not discharge CO2 or other oxygen-displacing agents in occupied spaces. Wear suitable protective equipment, isolate machinery and fuel sources where safe, and never enter a smoke-filled or oxygen-deficient space without approved breathing apparatus and trained support. |
