WARNING Danger to life due to extinguishing agent escaping in an uncontrolled
manner
The extinguishing agent containers are pressurized. If they are damaged, extinguishing agent may
escape in an uncontrolled manner. This may cause the extinguishing agent containers to slide
around uncontrollably and cause serious injuries. Escaping extinguishing agent can also result in
frostbite and life-threatening injuries to the skin and eyes.
• Damaged extinguishing agent containers should not be transported under pressure and should
instead be emptied before the transport.
• Only start the transport when the locking nuts are on the valve output and the blanking plugs are
on the control output and the valve protection caps have been assembled.
• Always secure the extinguishing agent containers in accordance with the following specifications.
WARNING Risk of injury due to improper transport of heavy extinguishing agent
containers
If heavy extinguishing agent containers are transported incorrectly, dangerous injuries may be
caused, e.g.crushing or injuries to the spine.
• On the construction site, only transport extinguishing agent containers using suitable transport
methods.
WARNING Risk of injury due to tipping extinguishing agent containers
Extinguishing agent containers are heavy and may have a high center of gravity depending on the
design. If extinguishing agent containers tip while being handled, this can lead to severe injuries or
even death.
• Transport extinguishing agent containers in such a way that they cannot tip.
• Fasten extinguishing agent containers to a wall or other part of the building with a clamp immedi-
ately after transport.
