MAINTENANCE
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS REQUIRE REGULAR INSPECTIONS TO ENSURE THEY ARE IN PROPER WORKING ORDER. A PROPER INSPECTION INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
-
Look at hoses; replace any cracked or broken hoses or simply replace the extinguisher.
-
Weigh extinguishers to make sure they meet the minimum weight levels stated on the label.
-
Check the gauge to make sure the extinguisher is fully charged.
-
Inspect seals to ensure they have not been broken.
