7. Examine the hose for cuts, severe weather checking,
abrasion or deformed exterior. Depending upon the
severity of the disorder, the hose could rupture upon
pressurization of the extinguisher.
8. Check the hose couplings for tightness, corrosion or
cracks. A loose connection of coupling to shell outlet
or nozzle could contribute to a significant change in
discharge characteristics upon use. A corroded or
cracked coupling could separate under pressure.
9. Check the nozzle tip and handle for obvious damage or
obstructions. Insects are common causes of obstructions
particularly in the warmer climates.
10. Secure the nozzle back into its holder and ensure visual
seal, and, if provided, the tamper-proof seal, are intact.
11. If the extinguisher is wall hung, verify that the support is
able to hold the extinguisher safely. If a vehicle bracket
or a heavy duty vehicle bracket is used, refer to pages
17-20. Return extinguisher to its designated location.
12. Personnel making inspections are usually required to
keep records by way of marking a tag attached or affixed
to the extinguisher and/or in a permanent file. Your
precise guide to record keeping requirements should be
the applicable company, local, state or federal authority
having jurisdiction.
