Post Fire Reentry Procedure
WARNING
Following a fire and actuation of the engine room fire suppression system, the engine
room may contain a level of Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) gas that is dangerous to humans.
Do not reenter the engine room until the post fire reentry procedure has been performed.
Death or serious injury can result from unprotected entry into this space prior to comple-
tion of the post fire reentry procedure.
1.
Wait at least 15 minutes after extinguishing the fire before performing this procedure. The natural decay rate for HF gas
is approximately 15 minutes after a fire is extinguished.
2.
Perform HF gas sampling as follows:
a.
Remove the cap from the HF sampling port located immediately starboard of the engine room access hatch.
b.
Install the detector tube assembly (10) to the pump by sliding the end of the detector tube rubber hose (11) over the
tube holder (12).
