Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward using the included wall mounting bracket, which should be secured to a stable vertical surface near a high-risk area. Ensure the extinguisher is accessible and not obstructed by shelving or equipment.

Store in a location protected from direct sunlight and extreme environmental contaminants to maintain the integrity of the cylinder.
