CAUTION: This extinguisher contains a dry powder extinguisher agent. The agent/powder is

not toxic but can irritate skin. When using this unit, avoid breathing the powder. Always

ventilate the area after use.

WARNING: Do not check the pressure or test the fire extinguisher by operating it, even briefly.

Once used it will gradually lose pressure and will not be fully charged for use in an emergency.

When the pointer drops into the recharge area, the extinguisher may still be pressurised. You

must discharge the unit completely before disposing of it.

Inspect the extinguisher before and after travel or at least once a month.

1. Remove the extinguisher from the mounting bracket and inspect the gauge. If the

pointer is in the GREEN area, the extinguisher is properly pressurised and ready to use.

If the pointer has moved to the RECHARGE area, then the extinguisher has lost

pressure and must be recharged or replaced. If the unit is new or still under warranty,

return it to Master Distributers Pty Ltd. If the warranty has expired, take the

extinguisher outside, discharge its contents completely, discard the unit, and replace

it with a new one immediately.

2. Check for signs of damage or misuse. Make sure you can still read all the text on the

label.

3. Carefully examine the surface of the extinguisher for corrosion. You can help prevent

corrosion by cleaning the extinguisher if it gets wet or dirty. If you notice corrosion

during the warranty period, return the unit.

4. Make sure the tamper indicator (“safety seal”) is still intact. Make sure the nozzle is

clean and unobstructed.

5. When you finish inspecting the extinguisher, put it back securely into the mounting

bracket.

BEFORE YOU FIGHT ANY FIRE:

• Make sure everyone is leaving or has left the building.

• Notify your local fire authority by dialling 000.

• Make sure the fire is confined to a small area and is not spreading.

• Make sure you have a clear, unobstructed escape route.

• Make sure you know how to safely use your fire extinguisher.

• If you are fighting the fire and the fire begins to spread or burn out of control,

GET OUT IMMEDIATELY! Do not fight the fire yourself.
