1. Move the extinguisher to within approximately 30 feet (9 m) for 50 lb., 40 feet (12 m) for 150 lb. of the
fire site. Keep the extinguisher upright.
NOTE: The model 600 extinguisher may be operated in either the vertical or reclined position;
however, it will discharge more agent in the vertical position. The model 695 MUST be
operated in the UPRIGHT position.
2.
Twist and pull the pull pin. Open cylinder discharge valve by rotating (pulling) the valve lever toward
the hose 90°. The hose is now pressurized with chemical.
3.
Pull discharge nozzle, with lever in the closed position, from the mount and extend the hose from the
storage rack.
4.
Stand back 15 feet (4 m) to 30 feet (10 m) from the fire, and aim the nozzle at the base of flames
nearest you. Open nozzle by pulling handle toward you (be prepared for a discharge recoil by holding
the nozzle firmly).
5.
Sweep side to side across the base of the fire and past both edges. Progressively follow up until the
fire is extinguished. Work the fire away from you while being alert for flashbacks. Move closer as the
fire is extinguished but not so close as to scatter or splash the burning materials.
6.
When the fire is out, push the nozzle lever forward to the closed position.
7.
Evacuate and ventilate the area immediately after extinguishing the fire. The fumes and smoke from
any fire may be hazardous and can be deadly.
