Amerex Wheeled Halon 1211 fire extinguishers provide "clean agent" fire-fighting capability far exceeding that achievable with hand-portable types. Models 695 (50 lb.) and 600 (150 lb.) are stored-pressure wheeled Halon 1211 liquefied gas extinguishers. Highly effective on Class-A (ordinary combustibles), Class-B (flammable liquids) and non-conductive in Class-C (energized electric) hazards.

1. Move the extinguisher to within approximately 30 feet (9 m) for 50 lb., 40 feet (12 m) for 150 lb. of the fire site. Keep the extinguisher upright. NOTE: The model 600 extinguisher may be operated in either the vertical or reclined position; however, it will discharge more agent in the vertical position. The model 695 MUST be operated in the UPRIGHT position.

The agent cylinder must be hydrostatically (proof-pressure) tested every 12 years to the test pressure indicated on the nameplate (will vary according to size). Model 695, 50 lb. (480 psi); Model 600, 150 lb. (500 psi). Discharge hoses must also be hydrostatically tested (proof pressure) every 12 years to 300 psi, or service pressure, whichever is higher.

Carefully install a NEW collar o-ring which has been lightly lubricated with V-711 or equivalent.

Remove agent level gauge and discard. Replace agent level functioning (if so equipped) gauge with Amerex PN 06370 * Pressure gauge threads are coated with a special epoxy at the factory.
