Maintenance
Model F1 Res 30, 49, F1 Res 58, F1 Res 76 and F1 Res 44
Sprinklers should be inspected quarterly, and the sprinkler sys-
tem maintained in accordance with NFPA 25, 13, 13D, and 13R.
Do not clean sprinkler with soap and water, Ammonia or any oth-
er cleaning fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush or gentle
vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler which has been painted (oth-
er than factory applied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare
sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replacement of
damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers
should remain in the original cartons and packaging until used.
This will minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that could
cause improper operation or non-operation.
