Fire Extinguisher
A liquefied-gas-type fire extinguisher, containing Halon 1211/1301
extinguishing agent, is mounted on the forward outboard side of the
pilot-side footwell. The extinguisher is approved for use on class B
(liquid, grease) and class C (electrical equipment) fires. The Halon
1211/1301 blend provides the best fire extinguishing capability with
low toxicity. A pin is installed through the discharge mechanism to
prevent inadvertent discharge of extinguishing agent. The fire
extinguisher must be replaced after each use.
To operate the extinguisher:
1. Loosen retaining clamp and remove the extinguisher from its
mounting bracket.
2. Hold the extinguisher upright and pull the pin.
3. Get back from the fire and aim nozzle at base of fire at the nearest
edge.
4. Press red lever and sweep side to side.
The extinguisher must be visually inspected before each flight to
assure that it is available, charged, and operable. The preflight
inspection consists of ensuring that the nozzle is unobstructed, the pin
has not been pulled, and the canister has not been damaged.
Additionally, the unit should weigh approximately 1.5 lb (0.7 kg). For
preflight, charge can be determined by ‘hefting’ the unit.
