Operation Instructions

2.Discharge valve assembly - consists of the operating lever, carrying handle, valve stem, pressure gauge and discharge outlet that permits the actuation and discharge of the dry chemical extinguishing agent.

3.Siphon tube assembly - houses the spring assembly and provides the means for the extinguishing agent to be drawn up from the bottom of the cylinder to the discharge valve.

4.Ring pin and tamper seals - provide a means of visual assurance that the extinguisher has not been activated, charged or subjected to tampering.

5.Discharge hose assembly -provides a flexible means of agent delivery from the discharge valve to the nozzle.

6.Nozzle assembly - provides the agent discharge stream shaping characteristics necessary for optimum fire fighting performance.

1.Remove the extinguisher from its hanger or bracket.

2.Pull and remove the ring pin, breaking the visual tamper seal.

3.Using the extinguisher carrying handle, transport the unit to a safe position upwind of the fire.

4.Remove the hose nozzle from the retention clip (if equipped) and, while keeping the extinguisher in a vertical position, aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.

5.Approach fire from upwind, to within approximately 8 to 12 feet of the front edge of the fire.

WARNING:

Failure to start back at a sufficient distance from the front edge of the fire or to use an adequate sweeping tempo of the agent discharge stream could cause splashing and or scattering of the burning material.

6.Starting back from this distance, squeeze the operating lever fully to initiate the agent discharge.

7Apply the dry chemical agent discharge in a side to side sweeping manner, being careful not to splash or scatter the fuel. Operators may advance closer as control of the fire is gained however, they should avoid stepping into the fuel or fire area.
