HEAVY DUTY/VEHICLE BRACKET
INSPECTION
Inspection of the bracket should be performed whenever extin-
guisher inspection is performed.
1. Check for looseness between extinguisher and bracket.
The band clamp should shut tightly, compressing the
band grommet.
2. Inspect the extinguisher and the bracket for wear caused
by movement of the extinguisher within the bracket.
3. Examine entire bracket closely for loose or worn hinges or
hinge-pins, bent or cracked bands, and worn or missing
grommets. Clean any pads that are oily or greasy.
Avoid future damage by replacing or repairing all components
that are missing, worn or damaged.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is a very important factor in the lifespan and
reliability of a bracket. Maintenance of the bracket should be
performed whenever extinguisher maintenance is performed.
1. Clean any dirt, ice, or other foreign material from the
extinguisher and bracket using a bristle brush, cleaning
cloths, or soap and water.
2. Remove the extinguisher from the bracket and clean the
extinguisher surface where the bracket pads contact it.
3. Examine the bracket pads which hold the extinguisher in
place. Clean the pad surfaces to maintain their gripping
power on the extinguisher. Check the pads for resiliency,
and replace if necessary. For heavy duty bracket pad
replacement, refer to the Service and Repair Section of
this manual.
4. Inspect the bracket. If it has been bent, replace it. If it has
been cracked, repair or replace it.
NOTICE
If any welding is performed, take steps to
protect the bracket pads from excessive
heat.
5. Grease each moving part of the bracket arm and test its
action. The bracket must be able to hold the extinguisher
firmly, but release easily when necessary.
6. Check to see that the bracket is firmly mounted. Tighten
or replace mounting fasteners, or re-weld connections as
needed.
7. Avoid possible rust damage by cleaning and painting
wherever bare steel is exposed.
8. Following extinguisher maintenance, secure the extin-
guisher in its bracket. If the bracket does not hold the
extinguisher securely or the bracket is difficult to close,
replace the affected part and/or bracket. For heavy duty
brackets, refer to the adjustment procedures which may
correct extinguisher securement.
