FIRE EXTINGUISHER
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
1.
Function:
a. Fire extinguishers are designed
to put out a fi re in its initial stages.
Once a fi re is out of control and you
cannot get within ten feet, it is prob-
ably too big to fi ght with your extin-
guisher.
b. Do not discharge your fi re extin-
guisher to test it. Once it is dis-
charged even for a few seconds
it will lose pressure and become
useless.
c. Check the pressure indicator on
your fi re extinguisher periodically
and record the inspection date on
the tag provided. It if loses pres-
sure, the dry chemical cannot be
discharged effectively. If the pointer
does not indicate in the green, re-
place the extinguisher immediately.
2.
Operation:
a. Stay at least 6 feet away from the
fi re and near an exit. The chemical
from the fi re extinguisher will shoot
at least 10 feet. Stay close to the
fl oor to avoid heat and fumes.
b. Break the seal; grasp the fi re extin-
guisher fi rmly holding it in an upright
position.
c. Press the white button. Aim at the
base of the fi re spraying the en-
tire base area. Don't spray at the
smoke or fl ames.
d. After the fi re is out, watch for “fl ash-
back”.
e. Discharge the fi re extinguisher
entirely and get it recharged or
replaced immediately.
f. For additional information, check in
the manual that is provided with the
Fire Extinguisher.
