The numbers in front of the A, B, or C indicate the rating for size of the fire the unit can extin- guish. Using the wrong type of fire extinguisher can do more harm than good. Make sure you understand which fire extin- guisher to use on each class of fire! Class A rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and some plastics. Class B rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires involving grease, oil, gasoline, kerosene, and other flammable liquids. Class C rating: The agent/powder is suitable for fighting small fires in "live" electrical equipment. 1 • This extinguisher is designed for use against small fires that have just started and are small enough to fight safely. It is not designed to fight large fires that are burning out of control. If the fire is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet (2 meters) of it, do not try to fight it yourself. Warn everyone, evacuate the premises, and have someone call the Fire Department from outside the building. Trying to fight a large fire yourself can result in injury or death. • Do not puncture or burn any fire extinguisher. The contents are under pressure, and the extinguisher could explode. • Never locate this extinguisher close to an engine, stove or other source of heat. It is pressurized and could rupture or explode if exposed to temperatures over 150° F (66° C). • This extinguisher contains a dry powder extinguishing agent. The agent/powder is nontoxic, but can irritate skin. When using this unit, avoid breathing the powder. Always ventilate the area after use. WHERE TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER This extinguisher is designed to be used in your car or other vehicle. It has a special mounting bracket to keep the unit from discharging accidentally. We recommend you mount the extinguisher to keep it safe from puncture or other damage. Since not every vehicle can accommodate the mounting bracket, the bracket is also designed to keep the extinguisher from rolling if you do not mount it. HOW TO INSTALL THIS EXTINGUISHER NOTE: Since 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. Installing the Mounting Bracket in A Vehicle Remove mounting bracket from extinguisher by unlocking the clasp and pulling the bracket away from the extinguisher. Use two strong screws (such as #8 machine screws) to mount the bracket securely onto metal or another solid surface that can support the weight of the fire extinguisher. The mounting bracket must be secure so you can remove the extinguisher quickly in an emergency. 1. Install the mounting bracket as shown in “Installing The Mounting Bracket” using strong screws (such as #8 machine screws) with washers and nuts. The screws should not be longer than necessary to accommodate a washer and nut. Mounting screws, washers, and nuts are not included (see Note above.) 2. After installing the mounting bracket, replace the extinguisher on the bracket with the nose of the extinguisher pointing into the bracket. 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. • This extinguisher has a quick-release bracket for mounting. Mount the extinguisher as shown in “Installing the Mounting Bracket.” • Do not use sheet metal screws or wood screws; vehicle vibrations may loosen them. • Do not make holes in the vehicle structure if you are not sure what is on the other side. You may accidentally cause severe damage to electrical lines, gasoline lines or tanks, or other vehicle systems. • Do not break the plastic loop holding the...
