Check the FM-200 cylinder pressure gauges for proper op-
erating pressure (refer to Table 3-1). If the pressure gauge
indicates a pressure loss (adjusted for temperature) of more
than 10%, or loss in agent quantity shown on cylinder valve
of more than 5%, it shall be refilled. Remove and recharge
the cylinder as instructed in Paragraphs 5-7 and 6-3.
5-4.1.2 CHECK NITROGEN CYLINDER
PRESSURE
Check the nitrogen cylinder for proper operating pressure.
If the pressure loss (adjusted for temperature) exceeds
