CHECKING AND INSPECTING THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
When unpacking the extinguisher, please check that the manometer needle points in
the green sector. Check that the safety pin is mounted and sealed. Make sure that the
hose is mounted. If not, attach the hose. (Does not apply to 1 kg).
IMPORTANT:
Visual inspection of the fire extinguisher is the user’s responsibility, for
example, that the pressure of the extinguisher is at a satisfactory level.
HOW ABC POWDER EXTINGUISHES WORK
ABC powder reacts chemically with the fire. The powder prevents the chemical chain
reactions that the fire is dependent on. The powder also helps extinguish the fire
by pushing out the oxygen. To prevent the flames from re-igniting in fires involving
materials like wood, paper or fabric, it may be necessary to extinguish afterwards
with water.
