You Need to Fluff it Monthly for it to Work Properly When Needed

If you have never Fluffed your fire extinguisher you may need to do so. It is easy to do.
Over time the powder settles and can become packed and may not work when needed.

Before you Fluff it

Inspect the gauge to ensure it is charged correctly. If not, recharge or replace.

Look inside the nozzle to see if anything is there that will block the chemical.

Inspect the hose for splits.

Take a dead blow hammer and tap all around the extinguisher while holding it upside down, or lay it in the grass. Tap the bottom a few extra times. You will hear when the powder moves as the sound will change. If you only have a metal hammer, use the wooden handle or a small piece of wood.
The more you tap it, the more you fluff it.

A Fluffed Fire Extinguisher is a Happy Fire Extinguisher
