sYsTeM (opTion)
The 20 Outlaw may be
equipped with an automatic
fire extinguisher system
located aft of the engine on
the transom. In the event
of a re, 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.
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 fteen (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 re.
REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL PACKET FOR
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION
ON FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM.

In the event of a re, a re extinguisher can be
inserted through the port and discharged into the

engine box. Do not open the engine compartment

ALL ENGINES, POWERED VENTILATION,
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND EXTINGUISH ALL
SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT IMMEDIATELY
OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT!! THIS
