ABC extinguisher on hand at all times. CO2 is the only recommended application for a
motor fire. A dry chemical extinguisher will work to extinguish a fire but the residue left
behind from dry chemical extinguishers does heavy damage to a running turbine. If a
chemical extinguisher is used to douse a running engine fire, the motor will need to be
completely dissembled and cleaned.
Important Note: Please be sure to inspect all extinguishers each day that a turbine is being
used. There are countless recounts by pilots and assistants where they reached for a fire
extinguisher and it was not where it needed to be and/or the extinguisher was not
operational.

when running the engine.
Burns

objects close to it – keep exhausts clear of anything which is affected by such heat.
Turbine Oil Toxicity
- Turbine oil is poisonous. Keep it away from the mouth and eyes and
from contact with skin. Always store it in
a marked container and out of reach to children.
Ground Assistants
-
Use a qualified ground assistant during all Start-Up procedures .
Purchaser agrees to use an assistant who is familiar with the operations of a micro
turbine.
Keep assistants close and be sure that they understand their role before starting the engine.
One assistant should carry
out the role of fireman. Ensure that they are aware of what to
do in event of emergency and where to position the extinguishers.
Turbine Oil
– Turbine oil is required for operation of your turbine. Use of any
non-approved oil such as 2 cycle oil voids the warranty.
