Closely examine all components to ensure they are not damaged

Note: During recharge, dry chemical agent can accumulate and pack within the siphon tube when installing the valve assembly into the cylinder. Recharge personnel should ensure the time required for total pressurization is appropriate for the model size. Extinguisher pressurization obtained too quickly may indicate a plugged siphon tube. 13. Upon reaching proper pressurization, release the operating lever, shut off and remove the pressure source, then install the ring pin into th
