INSTALLATION
Your layout and particular hazards dictate the placement of fire extinguishers. NFPA-10 requires that
hand portable extinguishers with a gross weight less than 40 lbs. be hung with the top of the
extinguisher not more than 5 ft. (1.53 m) above the floor. Extinguishers having a gross weight
greater than 40 lbs. (18.14 kg) should be installed so that the top of the extinguisher is not more than 3
1/2 ft. (1.07m) above the floor. Extinguishers should be mounted in a clean and dry location, accessible
to possible fire hazards and preferably near an exit. Never install the extinguisher in a location where
a potential hazard would prevent easy access.
Use the mounting bracket supplied with extinguisher or an approved Victory vehicle bracket if needed.
Secure to a solid surface using the appropriate fixings for the surface (not supplied) to firmly hold the
bracket in place.
The operational temperature range for this extinguisher is +40°F to +120°F (+4°C to +49°C) [please
see the nameplate on your extinguisher]. The extinguisher should be adequately protected if
temperatures outside of this range are anticipated. Keep the extinguisher clean and free from dirt, ice,
chemicals, and any contaminants that may interfere with its proper operation. DO NOT
FUNCTIONALLY TEST THIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER . (Testing or any use may cause the
extinguisher to gradually lose pressure over time and make the extinguisher ineffective). Never throw
an extinguisher into a fire because rapid heat buildup could cause pressure expansion and exceed the
limitations of the cylinder.
SERVICE TOOLS
Victory recommend that only the correct tools, weighing scales and pressurizing adaptors are utilized
for service and recharge to ensure correct assembly and filling (See appendix B for detail). Victory
recommended tightening torque values should be followed. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN or CROSS
THREAD any threaded connections.
SAFETY
Victory recommend the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is used as described in the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available on the Victory website. Observe instructions for disposal of any
agent in accordance with SDS.
