6.1.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER
1. Function:
a. Fire extinguishers are designed to put
out a re in its initial stages. Once a
re is out of control and you cannot
get within ten feet, it is probably too
big to ght with your extinguisher.
b. Do not discharge your re extinguisher
to test it. Once it is discharged even
for a few seconds it will lose pressure
and become useless.
c. Check the pressure indicator on your
re extinguisher periodically and
record the inspection date on the tag
provided. It if loses pressure, the dry
chemical cannot be discharged eec-
tively. If the pointer does not indicate
in the green, replace the extinguisher
immediately.
2. Operation:
a. Stay at least 6 feet away from the re
and near an exit. The chemical from
the re extinguisher will shoot at least
10 feet. Stay close to the oor to avoid
heat and fumes.
b. Break the seal; grasp the re extin-
guisher rmly holding it in an upright
position.
c. Press the white button. Aim at the
base of the re spraying the entire
base area. Don't spray at the smoke or
ames.
d. After the re is out, watch for “ash-
back”.
e. Discharge the re extinguisher entirely
and get it recharged or replaced im-
mediately.
f. For additional information, check in
the manual that is provided with the
Fire Extinguisher.
