User’s Manual
Auto Fire Extinguishers
IMPORTANT! Please read carefully and save.
This user’s manual contains important information about your fire
extinguisher’s operation. If you are installing this fire extinguisher for
use by others, you must leave this manual—or a copy of it—with the
end user.
Read extinguisher label and the entire user’s manual carefully before
installing or using the unit. Make sure everyone in your household is
completely familiar with the operation of the extinguisher, and review
the instructions regularly. In an emergency, you will not have time to
read instructions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
NOTE: Be sure the extinguisher is rated to fight the type of fire most
likely to occur in the area you choose to install it. Since household fires
commonly start in the kitchen, you should always install an extinguisher
in the kitchen. For added security, you should also install additional
extinguishers in utility areas, and other living areas in your household.
Model FESA5 is rated 5-B:C. It is NOT rated to fight Class A fires.
READ BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING
THIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER!
Fire extinguishers are classified by fire type. The A, B and C
rating system defines the kinds of bur ning materials each fire
extinguisher is designed to fight. The numbers in front of the
A, B, or C indicate the rating for size of the fire the unit can
extinguish. Using the wrong type of fire extinguisher can do
more harm than good. Make sure you understand which fire
extinguisher to use on each class of fir e!
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.
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
m ounting. 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 safety pin in place!
This loop pr events accidental discharge of the fire
extinguisher. Break the loop only in an emergency before
using the fire extinguisher.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIRE
EXTINGUISHER IN A FIRE EMERGENCY
TO FIGHT THE FIRE
If You Suspect a Vehicle Fire:
1. Pull vehicle over, away from all traffic.
2. Turn off vehicle engine.
3. Evacuate all passengers and move them a safe distance from the
vehicle. Do not plug a cellular phone into your own vehicle to call
the Fire Department.
4. Remove the extinguisher from the mounting bracket.
5. Hold the extinguisher firmly, with the nozzle
facing away from you. Pull out the pin to
break the ‘Safety Seal.’ You won’t be able to
squeeze the trigger until the safety seal is
removed.
6. Stand back 6 feet (2 meters) from the fire
and make sure the fire is not between you
and your exit.
7. Hold the extinguisher upright and aim the
nozzle at the base of the fire.
8. Press and hold the trigger to discharge the
powder.
9. Sweep the spray at the base of the burning
material, using quick side-to-side motions.
(If the spray scatters the fire, move back.)
10. Move slowly towards the fire as the
extinguisher spray pushes the fire back.
Maintain a 6-foot (2 meter) distance between
you and the front of the fire at all times.
11. Completely discharge the contents of the extinguisher and make
sure the fire is completely out. Flashbacks are common with fires.
AFTER THE FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED
Do not start the vehicle up or plug in any electrical accessories
(cellular phone, CD player, TV or VCR, etc.) until the vehicle has
been cleaned up completely. It is very important to remove the
powder from electrical equipment after a fire. If the powder gets
wet, it can conduct electricity. (Using a dr y chemical extinguisher
on wet electrical equipment can be hazardous for this reason.)
This may worsen an electrical leakage problem, impair the
equipment’s insulation, or create an electrical shock hazard.
If you think the fire had an electrical origin:
• Turn off the engine and do not touch any electrical wires,
fuses or accessories.
• Leave the vehicle and stay a safe distance away until the Fire
Department arrives.
• Do not restart the vehicle or plug in any electrical appliances or
accessories until a licensed mechanic has inspected the vehicle’s
electrical system.
• Make sure your extinguisher may be safely and effectively
used on the small fire you want to fight. Always use extreme
caution when fighting any fire. Fight a fire only where there is
a clear escape path to allow you to get out safely if the fire
gets worse.
• Avoid breathing smoke and heated fumes; stay low if
necessary. Burning materials will release toxic fumes.
Inhaling these fumes may cause injury or death.
• Always stand back far enough away from the fire—near
an exit—and make sure nothing is between you and your
escape route. If you get too close to a fire, you risk getting
burned or hit by splattering material like grease. If the fire
is too hot or smoky for you to get within 6 feet (2 meters),
DO NOT try to fight the fire yourself. Evacuate immediately
and call the Fire Department.
• For fires on a kitchen stove, turn oven or burners off
immediately if possible. If you can’t reach the oven or burner
controls safely, extinguish the fire first, then turn them off.
• Fight the fire from an upwind direction with your back to any
strong air current. Trying to fight a fire with currents blowing
towards you can result in serious injury.
