• 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 –65° F (-54°C). HOW TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER NOTE: Since wall surface types vary, mounting screws are not included. Purchase screws or bolts specifically designed for the surface on which you will mount the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher label lists its maximum weight. INSTALL THE MOUNTING BRACKET ON A WALL 1. The extinguisher has a bracket for wall mounting. Install the mounting bracket on a wooden stud or other solid surface that will support the weight of the extinguisher using the screws or bolts you purchased (see "Note" above). 2. After installing the mounting bracket, replace the extinguisher on the bracket with the label facing outward, so the label can be easily read. NOTE: Extinguisher in the bracket should have label facing outward, so the label can be easily read. CHECKING AND INSPECTING THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER 1. Inspect the extinguisher once a week. Remove the extinguisher from the mounting bracket and inspect the gauge. If the gauge pointer is anywhere in the green band, the extinguisher is properly charged and ready to use. If the gauge reads "RECHARGE," the extinguisher has lost pressure and must be refilled. 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 and the nozzle is clean and unobstructed. 4. Record all inspection and maintenance dates on the tag attached to the fire extinguisher. 5. 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. Continued... • 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.
