Securing the fire extinguisher

After using the fire extinguisher
– Have the fire extinguisher refilled and checked by a qual-
ified dealer or the fire service.
Check how the fire extinguisher works before you need to use it. The
instructions for use are shown on the fire extinguisher.
Have the fire extinguisher checked regularly (at least every two
years) by a qualified dealer or by the fire service to ensure that it will
be in working order when you need it.
When buying a new fire extinguisher, make sure it fits in the holder.
WARNING
If the fire extinguisher is not secured properly it could be cata-
pulted through the vehicle during driving and braking manoeuvres
or in the event of an accident. This poses a risk of injury to occu-
pants.

guisher may not work properly after the expiry date.
