Resumen del manual


• Where it is easy to reach, near an exit or an escape route from the room. • In a location that is convenient, in plain sight, and 3-1/2 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters) above the floor. • Store the extinguisher high enough to keep it out of the reach of small children. • On a clean, dry surface where the temperature does not go above 120° F (49° C) or below –40° F (–40°C). HOW TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER If you do not mount the fire extinguisher on the wall, you must remove the cap and store it separately. Failure to remove the cap from a free-standing extinguisher may prevent it from working properly in an emergency. 1. Hold the extinguisher with the back (mounting surface) of the cap facing you. Make sure to hold the metal canister, not the plastic cap. 2. Grasp the rectangular release handle on the back of the cap. Pull the handle up to remove the cap/bracket from the extinguisher as shown. 3. Install the mounting bracket on a wooden stud or other solid surface that will support the weight of the extinguisher. Use 1-1/4” (3.17 cm) long #8 pan or round screws with a #8 washer as shown. Choose at least two of the six holes provided on the Mounting Bracket/Cap. Using two holes that are opposite each other (i.e. the top and bottom center holes) is recommended. Mounting screws are not included (see Note above.) 4. After installing the mounting bracket, replace the extinguisher on the bracket with the label facing outward, so the label can be easily read. • Do not mount the extinguisher on drywall or plaster without adequate support. Use strong screws or bolts to mount the bracket securely into solid wood or metal that can support it, like a wooden partition stud. Secure mounting is needed so you can remove the extinguisher quickly and easily in an emergency. Also, if the extinguisher is not held securely, it could drop to the floor and injure people or damage the extinguisher • Do not break the plastic loop holding the safety pin in place! This loop prevents accidental discharge of the fire extinguisher. Break the loop only in an emergency before using the fire extinguisher. Mounting Surface Release Handle Metal Canister Plastic Mounting Bracket/Cap CHECKING AND INSPECTING THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER 1. Inspect and test the extinguisher once a week. Start by removing the extinguisher from the mounting bracket/cap. Check the extinguisher pressure by pressing the green button on top of the cap as shown in “Checking the Pressure.” If the button pops back up, the extinguisher is properly pressurized and ready to use. If the button stays down, the extinguisher has lost pressure and must be replaced. 2. Check for signs of damage or misuse. Make sure you can still read all the text on the label. Carefully examine the surface of the extinguisher for corrosion. You can help prevent corrosion by cleaning the extinguisher if it gets wet or dirty. If you notice corrosion during the warranty period, return the unit to First Alert® (See "Limited Warranty" at the end of this manual.) 3. Make sure the tamper indicator (“safety seal”) is still intact as shown in “Location Of The ‘Safety Seal’” and the nozzle is clean and unobstructed. 4. When you finish inspecting the fire extinguisher, always put it back into the mounting bracket. Make sure the handle is locked down and the safety seal is intact. For more information about fire extinguishers, consult the NFPA Standard #10, “Portable Fire Extinguishers,” available from the National Fire Protection Association, Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169, USA. DO NOT CHECK THE PRESSURE OR TEST THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER BY SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER, EVEN BRIEFLY. ONCE USED IT WILL GRADUALLY LOSE PRESSURE AND WILL NOT BE FULLY CHARGED FOR USE IN AN EMERGENCY. Checking the Pressure Location of the “Safety Seal” HOW TO CLEAN AFTER USING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER NOTE: The powder spray from the extinguisher may spread over a wide area, and may soil upholstery, carpets and walls. • Sweep/vacuum up as much of the powder as possible. Then use a damp cloth to wipe off the remaining agent. • If you have any questions about cleaning appliances that the agent has come into contact with, please contact the appliance manufacturer. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN A FIRE EMERGENCY “ ” ’ Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any appliances until the area has been cleaned up completely. It is very important to remove the powder from electrical equipment after a fire. If the powder gets wet, it can conduct electricity. (Using a dry chemical extinguisher on wet electrical equipment may be hazardous for this reason.) This may worsen an electrical leakage problem, impair the equipment’s insulation, or create an electrical shock hazard. If the fire was on a kitchen stove: • Make sure the oven and all burners are turned off. • Clean up the powder completely before using the stove or oven. See “How to Clean After Using a Fire Extinguisher”. Ventilate the area thoroughly. If you think the fire had an el...
