MAINTENANCE
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the system installer to review system operation and owner obliga-
tions, and to provide any necessary literature to the owner at the time of system installation.
This section contains the inspection and maintenance instructions for the TANK Fire Suppression extin-
guishing system. These procedures must be performed in accordance with NFPA 17A and the National
Fire Code of Canada as applicable. If problems arise, corrective action must be taken.
Every Month (System Owner)
Refer to the cylinder nameplate for proper inspection and maintenance instructions. Inspections are
required to ascertain that the system is operable and that no changes have occurred, which would compro-
mise the effectiveness of the system. A record of the monthly inspection is to be kept reflecting the date
inspected, initials of the person performing the inspection, and any corrections required. If any discrepan-
cies are noted while making this inspection, DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATING COOKING APPLI-
ANCES. Immediately contact a factory trained distributor for service and/or repair.
The following procedure is to be performed by the Owner of the system on a monthly basis:
