Recharging
Recharge spent fire extinguishers immediately and return them to their locations. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for recharging.
Servicing
Completely examine each fire extinguisher at least once a year, and whenever your monthly inspections
indicate that this may be needed. Replace defective parts and fire extinguishers, recharge fire
extinguisher as needed, and ensure that hydrostatic tests are carried out according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Set up a maintenance schedule for fire extinguishers so that they are not all out of service at
the same time.
