Can I remount this in a different vehicle?
Yes, the included mounting bracket and hook-and-loop fasteners make it easy to transfer the extinguisher to different locations.
What is the 5A 21B C rating?
This rating indicates the size and type of fires the extinguisher is tested to handle: Class A (solids), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (flammable gases).
Troubleshooting
Pressure gauge needle is outside the green zone
If the pressure is too low or high, the unit may be compromised; replace the extinguisher immediately as it may not function correctly.
Safety pin is difficult to remove
Ensure you are not depressing the actuator while pulling the pin, as the pressure can lock the mechanism in place.
