How to use

Before use, check the extinguisher for visible damage and ensure the safety pin is intact. Remove the extinguisher from its mount, pull the safety pin, aim the nozzle at the base of the fire and squeeze the trigger valve to discharge the powder. Sweep the nozzle from side to side to cover the burning area until the fire is extinguished or the unit is empty. After use, have the extinguisher inspected and recharged or replaced according to local regulations and manufacturer guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use the extinguisher only on fires for which powder agents are suitable: class A, B and C. Maintain a safe distance from the fire, avoid inhaling discharge powder, and ventilate the area after use. Do not use on small engine fires where water or foam would be inappropriate without following electrical safety precautions. Store the extinguisher in an accessible location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and perform regular visual inspections and service per applicable safety standards.
