You can maintain your own extinguisher easily every year using 3 simple steps.

Step 1 - Visual Inspection

Visually inspect the extinguisher, checking for any signs of tampering or damage.

Step 2 - Check the pressure gauges

Hold a magnet to the front of the pressure gauge and move it to one side so that the needle follows it.

Release the magnet and ensure that the needle returns to the green area of the pressure gauge. Repeat this for the second gauge.

Step 3 - Check the manufacturing date

Check the manufacturing date of the extinguisher, this is located on the bottom of the extinguisher.

This process also ensures that the extinguisher is turned on its end and keeps the extinguisher agent active.
