IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.

This guide applies to the following extinguisher models: SFE06 & SWE09

Fire extinguishers should be commissioned and installed by a Competent Fire Engineer who will check the

product prior to installation and apply a service label. Some Insurance Policies may be invalidated if the service

label does not carry a Fire Engineer’s signature.

The names of Fire Engineering companies can be found in Yellow Pages under such headings as “Fire

Protection Engineers” and Fire Extinguishing”. These Companies will not only install your extinguisher(s) but

provide longer term servicing cover.

We would recommend that a Company approved by FETA, BAFE, BSI or the British Fire Consortium be

selected.

The following checks must be made prior to installation.

a) Confirm that the pressure gauge indicator (where applicable) is in the green zone at room temperature.

b) Confirm that the anti-tamper seal holding the safety pin in place is intact.

c) Confirm that the discharge hose, horn or nozzles are firmly attached to the extinguisher.

d) Check that the extinguisher has suffered no physical damage in transit.

! The extinguisher mounting bracket should be fixed to the wall so that the extinguisher handle is

approximately 1 metre above the floor.

! Extinguishers should remain in their allocated location, and should be used only for the purposes of

extinguishing a fire.

" On no account should the extinguisher be removed for any other purpose, and should not be subjected to

any impact, force, heat, abrasion or any other misuse or condition that may be detrimental to the integrity of

the extinguisher. It is essential that extinguishers are not subjected to temperatures outside of the

temperature range stated on the extinguisher.

! Fire extinguishers are life saving appliances and as such, need to operate correctly in the event of a fire.

" DO NOT use as toys.

! The extinguishers should be visually inspected at least quarterly, but preferably monthly, by the user, to

ensure that the equipment is in its designated position, has not been used and has not been tampered

with. The servicing of fire fighting equipment must be carried out by a competent person using the correct

tools to follow the procedures of BS 5306 part 3, 2003 and the manufacturers instructions. This

maintenance should be performed at least annually.

For further advice on the location of your extinguisher please contact your local Fire Engineer or Fire Brigade.
