Pressure Gauge

• Locate the pressure gauge at the top of the cylinder. Here is an example of a pressure gauge.

  

• Is the pressure gauge pointed within the optimal green range [refer image above]?

  Yes

  No

• For a quick fix: Sometimes, the pressure gauge is in the red because of the chemical having settled down in the cylinder. Try fixing this by removing the fire extinguisher from its bracket/container (if allowed), carefully turn it upside down twice (refer to image attached), and shake it well. Check if the gauge indicator goes back to green.
