discharge nozzle, and/or hose assembly is correct for the model. (Newer Kidde models indicate this information on their nameplates)

6.Visually examine the cylinder valve discharge port for any signs of thread wear, corrosion, obstructions or accumulations of any foreign material.

7.Examine the pressure gauge for the following, properly depressurize and replace if necessary. (For corrective action refer to the trouble shooting section in this manual.)

(a)Ensure the gauge pressure needle indicates within the green operable area.

(b)Visually ensure there is no external gauge damage, deformation, dents or cracks.

(c)Verify gauge charge pressure properly correlates with charge pressure on nameplate.

(d)Ensure gauge indicates proper compatibility for dry chemical extinguishing agent.

(e)Ensure gauge indicates proper compatibility for use with either aluminum or plated brass valve material.

Note: Recent Kidde Pro extinguisher models feature plated brass valve body assemblies.

8.Closely examine the carrying handle and operating lever for any damage or deformation, and ensure the rivets are secure.

9.Being careful not to accidentally discharge the extinguisher, pull

and remove the ring pin breaking the visual inspection seal, to ensure the ring pin functions freely and is not bent, damaged or corroded. Re-install proper ring pin through the proper lever and valve ports, then install a new visual inspection tamper seal through the pull pin loop and around the carrying handle.

10.Looking under the operating lever ensure the visual portion of the valve stem shaft is not bent, damaged or corroded. (The top of the stem should extend from the valve body approximately 1/4 of an inch.)

11.Ensure the extinguisher nameplate is legible and secure. The nameplate operating instructions should face outward and be orientated within 30 degrees of the pressure gauge face. Check to ensure HMIS information is present and legible.

12.Reinstall and secure the discharge nozzle, and/or hose assembly into the discharge valves outlet port. Adjust and secure the hose nozzle into the retention band clip (if equipped).

13.Examine the cylinder hose retention band assembly (if equipped) for any damage and ensure it is properly adjusted to accommodate the hose assembly nozzle.

14.Weigh the extinguisher and verify that the total charged extinguisher weight falls within the tolerance limitations specified on the nameplate instructions.
