Attention: Please make sure that the filled cylinder is equipped with a
closing nut at the valve outlet and a suitable “protection cap
for transport” !
3.4 Initial operation
Secure the filled cylinders in an upright position with an adequate fixing device. The
fixation can be coupled with a weight controlling system.
Attach the outlet tube for the extinguishing agent onto the valve outlet thread.
Attention: the lever must seat on the piston.
If it does not, press down the lever.
Pull out the transport safety pin. In case the safety pin
cannot be pulled out easily (because it is bent) an incorrect
effort to open the valve with mounted safety device has
occurred priliminary.
3.5 Test release
Recommended execution:
Secure the valve type K85-50.0 against accidental opening by a transport safety
device. Remove the outlet tube from the valve outlet connection, close the outlet
connection (thread W21,8 x 1/14") with a suitable closing nut.
Remove the transport safety device.
Charge the pneumatic release device with pressure. Effect the release by the
operation centre or by external pressure.
