• Hold the extinguisher upright. It should not be held on its side when operating.

• Squeeze the handle to discharge powder. Aim at the base of the fire closest to you and progress forward, moving the discharge cone from side     to side in a sweeping motion.

• Turn extinguisher on and off as desired to control the fire.

• After use, report extinguisher for replacement or recharge.

With engine fires, never open the hood, it could cause a flashback. Do your best to direct the fire extinguisher stream through grill or under fenders?

If possible, stand upwind from burning material to prevent standing in smoke and heat. Avoid standing near areas of flammable, unburned materials that could catch fire in a flashback.

The fire extinguisher is to help you safely evacuate students from a burning vehicle. It does not have sufficient capacity to extinguish a major vehicle fire.
