Recharge Instructions

15.Wipe the extinguisher clean with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or contaminants that may have accumulated.

16.Upon satisfactory completion of the maintenance examination, properly tag, label and record the procedure in accordance with NFPA-10 and any local requirements.

According to NFPA-10, recharge is the replacement of extinguishing agent and expellant. All rechargeable fire extinguishers shall be recharged after any use or as indicated by an inspection or when performing maintenance. When performing extinguisher recharge, the recommendations of the manufacturer shall be followed.

Because of potential performance or detrimental material compatibility problems which may occur with the use of other agents, Kidde requires that only the dry chemical extinguishing agent specified on the extinguisher nameplate be utilized for recharge.

WARNING:

Prior to recharging an extinguisher, personnel should be thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual to recognize any equipment conditions or discrepancies that might prohibit the recharge of the extinguisher or direct further equipment maintenance or repair.

1.Invert the extinguisher, then while securing and pointing the nozzle in a safe direction, squeeze the operating valve lever to remove all remaining pressure from the extinguisher. Check the extinguisher gauge pressure reading to verify all pressure is removed.

WARNING:

To avoid personal injury or death, always ensure all pressure is properly relieved from an extinguisher prior to attempting any service, repair or recharge.

2.Visually examine overall extinguisher for any signs of damage, wear, corrosion or other conditions which might prohibit the unit from being recharged.

3.Unscrew and remove the discharge nozzle, and/or hose assembly from the valve assembly.

4.Slowly unscrew the discharge valve assembly from the agent cylinder.

WARNING:

To avoid personal injury or death, should any audible pressure leakage be observed during extinguisher disassembly, technicians should stop any further service action and wait until all residual pressure is relieved.
