5.Remove the discharge valve assembly from the agent cylinder. Disassemble the siphon tube and remove the spring and discharge valve stem.

Note: Fire extinguisher valve assemblies are not typically indexed for orientation with other cylinders, so any time extinguisher valve assemblies are removed, they should always be tagged or referenced so they remain matched to the specific cylinder that they were removed from.

6.Closely examine all components to ensure they are not damaged, cracked or worn. Remove the O-ring and replace. Re-lubricate o-ring with a light coat of silicone grease such as Vislox-V711 or equivalent.

7.Examine the valve stem to ensure it is not bent or corroded. Replace O-ring and re-lubricate with a light coat of silicone grease such as Vislox-V711 or equivalent.

8.Properly reassemble the discharge valve assembly. Ensure the valve stem, spring and siphon tube are correctly installed and securely tightened.

9.Empty the agent cylinder and visually examine it internally

and externally for any damage, thread wear, dents, repairs, corrosion, discoloration or contaminants. If necessary remove extinguisher from service and replace.

10.Add the proper type and quantity of Kidde dry chemical agent specified on the extinguisher nameplate recharge instructions.

11.Reinstall the discharge valve assembly onto the agent cylinder. Ensure the valve is properly snugged down and the pressure gauge is properly orientated perpendicular to the front of the extinguisher.

WARNING:

Regulated extinguisher pressurization sources should never be set any higher than 25 PSI (172 kpa) over the intended extinguisher charge pressure or be left connected to an extinguisher for extended periods of time. Never stand directly in front of an extinguisher gauge or stand over the valve assembly during pressurization.

12.Install the proper Kidde pressurization charge adapter into the discharge valve outlet port. Using a regulated source of dry nitrogen containing a calibrated pressure gauge, depress operating lever and slowly pressurize the extinguisher to pressure indicated on the nameplate. Reference the calibrated pressurization gauge for proper charge.

Note: To avoid damaging non-metal siphon tube assemblies, charge pressure should be applied slowly.
