Xii) Engine - BENETEAU OCEANIS 473 Owner's Manual

XII) ENGINE

Stop the engine and do not smoke when filling the fuel tank
Before starting, make sure that the engine compartment bilge is clean and dry. Do not start the
engine if there is the slightest presence of fuel in the bilge.
For boats equipped with petroleum engines, ventilate the engine compartment for 5 minutes with
the engine compartment fans in order to completely eliminate any petrol vapours.
For outboard engines fitted with a separate fuel tank, fill the tank away from the boat in a well-
ventilated place far from any risks of ignition.
Fuel not stored in the boat's tanks (outboard tanks, jerrycans, etc...) should be stowed in a
ventilated place.
Locate the aperture for extinguishing engine compartment fires.
A fixed engine compartment fire extinguishing system is fitted to boats with petroleum engines.
Familiarise yourself with the position of the discharging mechanism and how it operates. The engine
compartment should be ventilated after discharging.
