OPERATION
OPERATION
To Operate The Extinguisher:
1. Remove the extinguisher from its station.
2. Use the handle to carry the extinguisher to the fire. Walk
at a rapid pace. DO NOT RUN.
3. Proceed to the upwind side of the fire. Stay well clear of
the flames. From this position, the air currents help carry
the agent into the fire, assures maximum visibility and
provides protection from the heat.
4. Start back from fire at a distance recommended on
extinguisher nameplate. Remove the nozzle from its
holder and pull the hose free from behind the puncture
lever. Then take a firm grip on the nozzle and ‘‘push’’
the puncture lever down firmly. The puncture lever must
be depressed to become almost flush with the top of the
cartridge guard to assure full penetration of the cartridge
disc by the puncture pin. If the extinguisher employs a
ring pin, pull the ring pin before any attempt to operate
the puncture lever.
