[QUOTE="DS, post: 207726, member: 556"] Ours have a button at the top,you push it and it is under pressure,if it stays in you need a new one. [B]Recharging/Testing Your Extinguisher[/B] Disposable fire extinguishers can only be used ONCE and are NOT rechargeable. Even if only partially discharged, a disposable fire extinguisher must be discarded and replaced. Rechargeable fire extinguishers require testing and professional servicing according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Fire Extinguishers" for service companies. The contents (the extinguishing agent) of portable fire extinguishers are stored under pressure. [U]All extinguishers come equipped with a dial-gauge or some type of pressure-testing mechanism, such as a test button. [/U]Fire extinguishers need to be checked at least once a month. If the pressure has dropped below the acceptable level, the fire extinguisher must be replaced or recharged immediately. Fire extinguishers need to be inspected for dents, cracks, corrosion and any type of damage. If there is a hose or horn attached to the extinguisher's nozzle, make sure the rubber and plastic parts are intact. [/QUOTE]
