Equipment Shipping Receipt Information
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate various shipping needs and regulations, Badger
wheeled fire extinguisher models are often packaged and shipped from the factory with
certain operational components disconnected. It is important that personnel responsible
for receiving, delivering and placing this equipment into fire protection duty be aware
of this point.
NOTE: Badger recommends that only trained personnel who understand how to properly
remove the associated packaging and how to properly prepare the wheeled fire extin-
guisher for use and fire protection service attempt to do so.
1 Examine wheeled extinguisher assembly for any missing parts or signs of shipping damage
(Properly document any missing items or damage observations and notify the carrier )
2 Remove various forms of attached protective shipping wrappings, tape and attachments
3 Properly disconnect and release unit from shipping pallet (Unit may be bolted to pallet )
4 Remove the protective safety-shipping cap from the top of carbon dioxide agent cylinder
(This safety-shipping cap should be retained for re-use whenever re-shipment of the cylinder
is necessary per DOT CFR-49 regulations )
5 Visually ensure the agent cylinder operating valve outlet is clear and unobstructed, then properly
connect the agent discharge hose assembly securely onto this port with a wrench
