| Component | Maintenance | Notes and precautions |
| Gas fire extinguisher | Checks and tests | Check the charge status by means of the pressure gauge installed on the cylinder. The charge status can also be checked also by measuring the cylinder weight. The extinguisher is properly charged when the pressure and weight values comply with the specification reported on the extinguisher tag. Before installing, weigh the extinguisher (bracket excluded) and record the date and weight on the special tag. Check the weight (bracket excluded) every six months: if the weight has decreased with respect to the previous checks, recharge or replace the extinguisher. Have the preservation status of the container (cylinder) checked by qualified technicians at least at the beginning of each season. |
DANGERAccidental discharge of the fire extinguisher during handling or installation may cause serious injury. Insert the safety pin on the valve again until the installation or the check has been completed.
Protect your eyes during maintenance and installation operations.
DANGERDuring maintenance operations, pay attention not to unintentionally break the flask, because, even if the safety pin is inserted, if the flask breaks, the fire-fighting system activates.
DANGEROnce maintenance and installation have been completed, remove the safety pin from the extinguisher valve.
DANGERBefore entering the engine room or technical room, it is necessary to ventilate the rooms properly, so as to avoid risks of burns, due to high temperatures.
