To operate the fire extinguisher:
1. Loosen retaining clamp and remove extinguisher from bracket
2. Hold extinguisher upright, pull the operating lever lock pin, and
press lever while directing the discharge at the base of the fire
at the near edge. Progress toward the back of the fire by
moving the nozzle rapidly with a side-to-side sweeping motion.
Care must be taken not to direct the initial discharge directly at the
burning surface at close range because the high velocity stream may
cause splashing and/or scattering of the burning material.
VENTILATE THE CABIN PROMPTLY AFTER SUCCESSFULLY EXTINGUISHING
THE FIRE TO REDUCE THE GASES PRODUCED BY THERMAL
DECOMPOSITION.
