Models 10, 20, 30, Operation, Inspection, Service and  

Maintenance, and Recharge Manual (Form No. F-7674)

2018-OCT-15    REV. 10 

FOREWORD

This manual is intended for use with the ANSUL

®

 Models 10, 

20, and 30 hand portable dry chemical extinguishers. 
Those who operate, inspect, maintain, or recharge fire 

extinguishers should read this entire manual. Specific 

sections will be of particular interest depending upon one’s 

responsibilities.
Fire extinguishers are mechanical devices. They require 

periodic care. If the extinguishers are not installed properly, are 

abused in service or are not properly maintained, they may not 

perform reliably. 
Inspection, to provide reasonable assurance your fire 

extinguisher is fully charged and operable, will vary from hourly 

to monthly, based on the needs of the situation. Inspections 

should always be conducted at regular intervals. Maintenance, 

to help provide maximum assurance the fire extinguisher will 

operate effectively and safely, must be conducted annually, or 

earlier when   indicated by an inspection.
These extinguishers are pressure vessels that must be treated 

with respect and handled with care.
Only genuine ANSUL replacement components shall be installed 

on ANSUL products. Only Authorized ANSUL Distributors shall 

be allowed to service and maintain ANSUL products.
This manual is limited to uses herein described. For other appli-

cations, contact your local Authorized ANSUL Distributor or 

Johnson Controls – Technical Services Department, Marinette, 

Wisconsin 54143-2542, USA.

Note: 

The converted metric values in this manual are provided
