13 Upon reaching the proper fill weight, tightly close the cylinder valve hand wheel Remove the
carbon dioxide charge adapter from the extinguisher valve assembly
14 Properly install the pull pin back into the cylinder valve hand wheel Then install a visual
inspection tamper seal through the ring pin pull loop and hand wheel
15 Using a soapy solution or leak detecting fluid, properly perform a leak check of the cylinder valve
assembly and cylinder collar to ensure no pressure leakage is occurring Upon successful completion
of the leak check, properly clean and dry all extinguisher surfaces
16 Re-weigh the extinguisher cylinder to verify the total charged weight matches the filled weight
stamped on the cylinder valve and the tolerance limitations specified on the nameplate instructions
17 Install safety shipping cap onto valve for handling and transportation, then re-install and properly
secure the agent cylinder into the carriage/frame Ensure the cylinder orientation correctly faces the
nameplate operating instructions outward
18 Fully extend the discharge hose assembly and closely examine the discharge nozzle, hose and cou-
plings for any damage, abrasions, cracking, wear or conditions that might affect its proper function
Verify that the discharge nozzle is correct for the model
19 Blow (low pressure) dry air through the hose /nozzle assembly to ensure it is not plugged or ob-
structed and that the nozzle operates freely (If hose is obstructed, properly secure hose assembly
and using the proper service kit adaptor, connect a regulated pressure source set no higher than
100 PSI to assist with clearing hose assembly )
20 Ensure the discharge hose assembly and nozzle are not plugged or obstructed and that the dis-
charge nozzle operates freely Fully extend the hose assembly and closely examine the discharge
nozzle, hose and couplings for any damage, abrasions, cracking, wear or conditions that might af-
fect its proper function Verify that the discharge nozzle is correct for the model
21 Remove cylinder safety shipping cap then re-install and secure the discharge hose assembly onto the
cylinder operating valves outlet port
(ON Badger CD-100-1 MODELS) – The agent hose manifold assembly must be re-connected to both
cylinder valves and the agent hose assembly properly connected to the manifold
Note: Avoid the use of any teflon tape or similar materials which can compromise
continuity for dissipation of static build up.
22 Properly coil the agent hose assembly back onto the extinguisher hanger Adjust the hose so that
it hangs clear of the floor/ground Secure the hose nozzle back into the retention clip/holder
23 Examine both wheels to ensure they are secure, not damaged and rotate freely Lubricate as
necessary
24 Ensure the extinguisher nameplate is legible and secure Check to ensure HMIS information is
present and legible
25 Wipe the extinguisher clean with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or contaminants that
may have accumulated
26 Upon satisfactory completion of the recharge and maintenance examination, properly tag, label
and record the procedure in accordance with NFPA 10 and any local requirements
