安全情報
Always prioritize safety when handling fire extinguishers. Ensure the extinguisher is easily accessible in an emergency. Recreational boats over 26 feet may require more than one fire extinguisher. Place the extinguisher within easy reach where fires are most likely to start.
The dry chemical agent in this fire extinguisher is non-toxic and will not damage metal surfaces. However, it may cause skin irritation upon contact. Avoid direct exposure to skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.

セットアップとインストール
The Kidde Mariner 5 Fire Extinguisher comes with a UL-approved plastic strap bracket for secure mounting. Choose a location that is easily accessible in case of a fire, yet protected from extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the extinguisher's weight.
- Select a suitable mounting location on your boat.
- Position the strap bracket and mark the drilling points.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, then secure the bracket using appropriate fasteners (not included).
- Place the fire extinguisher into the strap bracket, ensuring it is held firmly in place.

Operating Instructions (PASS Method)
In the event of a fire, follow the P.A.S.S. method for effective fire suppression:
- P - ピンを引く: Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you. Pull the safety pin located at the top of the extinguisher.
- A - 火の根元を狙う: Stand a safe distance from the fire (approximately 4-6 feet). Aim the nozzle at the very bottom of the fire, not the flames.
- S - レバーを握る: Squeeze the operating lever slowly and evenly to discharge the extinguishing agent.
- S - 左右にスイープ: While squeezing the lever, sweep the nozzle from side to side, covering the entire area of the fire's base until the fire is extinguished.
Always ensure the fire is completely out before leaving the area. If the fire re-ignites, repeat the process if safe to do so, or evacuate immediately and call emergency services.

メンテナンス
Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to ensure your fire extinguisher is ready for use when needed.
- 圧力チェック: Inspect the pressure indicator monthly. The arrow should always be in the green area, indicating the extinguisher is fully charged. If the arrow is in the red ("EMPTY" or "RECHARGE") area, the extinguisher is not ready for use and must be replaced.
- 物理検査: Check for any signs of damage, corrosion, or tampering. Ensure the nozzle is clear and unobstructed.
- Safety Pin and Seal: Verify that the safety pin is intact and the tampシールは破れていません。
- 廃棄と交換: Dispose of and replace the fire extinguisher if it has been used, discharged, or if it is over 12 years old. Single-use fire extinguishers do not require 6-year internal examinations per NFPA 10, but annual external examinations and corrective actions are required.

トラブルシューティング
- 低圧： If the pressure indicator is not in the green zone, the extinguisher is undercharged and must be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to recharge it yourself.
- Damaged Extinguisher: If the extinguisher shows signs of physical damage, corrosion, or if the safety pin or tamper seal is broken, it should be replaced.
- Discharge Issues: If the extinguisher does not discharge when the lever is squeezed (after pulling the pin), ensure the nozzle is not blocked. If it still fails, replace the unit.
