CHANGING THE POWDER (method to follow if no filling station is available)

Reminder: First loosen the powder well.
- Get a garbage bag.
- Open it completely and place it over the top of the cylinder all the way to just above the mounting bracket.
- Wrap a strap with a buckle around the cylinder. Do not cover the clasp on the extinguisher with the bag.
- Turn the extinguisher upside down. The bottom of the bag should touch the floor.
- Let all of the contents empty into the bag.
- When the cylinder is empty, hold the bag straight and loosen the buckle on the strap.
- Close the bag and tie a knot.
- Fill the extinguisher as indicated below.
REFILLING
After emptying the extinguisher, refill it with the type and quantity of powder indicated on the side.
The powder charge has a tolerance of ±2%.
Never replace ABC powder with BC powder or vice versa. The mixture would give off a large amount of gas.
CAUTIONS: Empty and refill the powder in a room with the same relative temperature and humidity as the room in
which the extinguisher is usually located.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROPICAL COUNTRIES
Place the cylinder on scales and tare it.
At a refilling station, vacuum out all of the powder and sift it.
Weigh the powder charge. Stay within the tolerances.
If the charge is below the tolerance, empty the extinguisher completely and change the powder,
If the charge exceeds the tolerance, remove the excess powder.
After cleaning and drying the extinguisher, fill it with the sifted powder.
Immediately cover the cylinder opening with a clean cloth.
Reassemble the headcap as quickly as possible.

INSTRUCTIONS
N°
1 Check the extinguisher's condition (no corrosion, wire and seal).
- Clean the entire extinguisher.

1b Check the test date written on the extinguisher.

Test of CO2 cylinder must be carried out no more than 10 years after the last
test
or according the regulations “in force”.
- Check that the markings are on the cylinder shoulder.
If you can’t read the individual number and the year of manufactured:
Remove from service any extinguishers with markings outside this zone.
Marking areas
authorized

2 - 2 kg  disconnect the nozzle with a 32 mm spanner

- 5kg  disconnect the discharge hose and nozzle with a 27 mm
spanner.
Screw a nut protection

3 Read the tare and charge indicated on the extinguisher.

Full load (MP) equals the Tare and Charge added together.
- Weigh the extinguisher with the nut protection (without nozzle or without the
discharge hose and nozzle).
CO2 charge tolerances: +0 / -5%
For one 2 kg extinguisher:
Max. = MP Min. = MP -100 g
For one 5 kg extinguisher:
Max. = MP Min. = MP -250 g
- If the weight indicated is not within the tolerances, return the extinguisher for
refilling or a normal exchange. (CAUTIONS: if the extinguisher was not tested in the
past 5 years, it must be tested before being refilled - or according the regulations “in

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROPICAL COUNTRIES

Place the cylinder on scales and tare it.
At a refilling station, vacuum out all of the powder and sift it.
Weigh the powder charge. Stay within the tolerances.
If the charge is below the tolerance, empty the extinguisher completely and change the powder,

Do not move the extinguisher for at least 5 minutes to avoid placing the powder in
suspension. The extinguisher must be kept vertical while the pressure is being
checked.

2a

Check that the needle on the pressure gauge is in the green zone
Remove the extinguisher from service if the gauge needle is in the red zone.

2b

Disconnect the discharge hose and nozzle with a 16 mm spanner.

- Check the discharge hose (no cracks). Change if necessary.

2c Check that the ejection slot on the nozzle is clean and clear of any obstructions. Check
that the nozzle is not broken and that nothing is blocking the ejection line (blow air
into the entire ejection line).
- Reassemble the discharge hose and nozzle on the extinguisher (Torque: 15 to 20
N.m)

- Check the powder for lumps and make sure it flows

loosely. ( Use a tube Ø25 mm minimum)
- Unitor specification: Powder – renew as necessary based
on condition monitoring (check for absence of lumps /
absence of moisture / acceptable fluidity). Also please
follow the flag state regulations for the replacement of
the powder”. However it is recommended that the powder
is changed maximum after 10 years of service in the
extinguisher

2e - Fit the cap. Grease the ends of the pins, and tighten the
nuts alternately with the spanner
(Torque: 8 to 16 N.m). Place the covers back on the nuts.

must be carried out no more than 10 years after the last
test or according the regulations “in force”.
- If no possibility to read the year, individual number.

3c

- Check the CO2 charge on the expansion cylinder.

Full load equals the Tare + Charge added together.
CO2 charge tolerances: +0 / -10 %
For one 900 g cylinder of CO2:
Max. = Full load Min. = Full load -90 g
If the weight indicated is not within the tolerances, return the
cylinder for refilling or a normal exchange. (Cautions: if the
cylinder was not tested in the past 5 years, it must be tested
before being refilled - or according the regulations “in
force”).

3d - Break the wire and seal, check the valve (no corrosion,
grease), a safety pin and use the press to place a new seal
indicating the current year.
- Change the fibre seal on the CO2 cylinder.

CHANGING THE POWDER

Empty the powder at a refilling station.
Charge tolerances:
50 kg extinguisher
MAXIMUM +2% charge = 51 kg
ABC powder MINIMUM -2% charge =49 kg

REFILLING
Refill the clean extinguisher with the type and quantity of powder indicated on the extinguisher.
Remember: The powder charge has a tolerance of ±2%.
Never replace ABC powder with BC powder or vice versa. The mixture would give off a large amount of gas.
CAUTIONS: Empty and refill the powder in a room with the same relative temperature and humidity as the room in
which the extinguisher is usually located.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TROPICAL COUNTRIES
Place the cylinder on scales and tare it.
At a refilling station, vacuum out all of the powder and sift it.
Weigh the powder charge. Stay within the tolerances.
If the charge is below the tolerance, empty the extinguisher completely and change the powder,
If the charge exceeds the tolerance, remove the excess powder.
After cleaning and drying the extinguisher, fill it with the sifted powder.
Immediately cover the cylinder opening with a clean cloth.
Reassemble the headcap as quickly as possible.
