What checks should I carry out before the new season?

Lifeline has taken the greatest possible care in designing and manufacturing your fire suppression system. To ensure that you get the best possible performance from your Zero 2000 or Zero 360 system, the following checks and maintenance procedures should be carried out before the vehicle is used.

· Pressurised Systems - Regularly check the pressure gauge indication is in the green sector. · Remote Charge Systems - Check the piston indicator is protruding from the end cap (inlet side), or check the weight of the cylinder and compare with the weight written on the extinguisher label. If the actual weight is more than 5% less than the weight on the label return the extinguisher for checking. · Check the integrity of the pipework and fittings · Check the nozzles for obstruction and foreign bodies · Check the cylinder for signs of damage. If there is any doubt as to the system serviceability please consult Lifeline. Spare parts are available to support all Lifeline products. Your extinguisher will be rejected from scrutineering if: · The gauge reads in the Red sectors, or the piston indicator does not protrude from the end cap (remote charge piston systems) · The tamper proof labels are not intact · The contents are below the specified weight · The extinguisher label is worn, illegible or illegally modified · The extinguisher is not within service date · The system is in poor condition.
