1-1.5.2 Inspection and Care
Be sure that the extinguisher is in its proper location so that there will be no delay in case of fi re.
Your extinguisher should be checked once each month or more frequently if necessary to determine that:
The pointer on the pressure gauge is in the green operable area.
The nozzle opening has not been closed with some foreign object.
A ring pull is provided to prevent accidental discharge. This pin is secured by means of a plastic wire lock seal. On some
models, the carry handle is sealed in place by a tape crossing over the lower portion. Check to make sure that the lock
seal is intact. A broken lock seal is in indication of tampering and that there may have been a partial or total loss of
contents.
Weigh the extinguisher at least every six months; and if below the weight designated under “Maintenance” on the
extinguisher label, the extinguisher should be recharged.
