Place the IFEX 3000 Impulse Fire Extinguishing Equipment at its destined location.
Warning:
Before testing of IFEX 3000 Impulse Fire Extinguishing Equipment:
1. Make sure the air pressure valve is closed.
2. Use the drain valve at the water container to release remaining pressure.
3. Make sure there is no remaining pressure in the IFEX- gun or hose. This is
done by triggering the gun repeatedly until the remaining air in the hoses and gun
is evacuated.
Caution:
Put on the gun according to the user manual as there may be a recoil due to the
remaining air in the gun!

.
When well trained in using the gun and rapid shooting is required, simply let the water
valve open and shot when the gun is filled. Use the refilling time to consider where to
place the next shot. For the extinguishing of smaller fires the gun can be filled with
smaller amounts of water simply by opening of the water valve for shorter periods or
through a faster shooting sequence.
12.
Regular training and exercise with the IFEX 3000 Impulse fire extinguishing equipment
will result in maximum fire extinguishing efficiency, reducing the time needed to
extinguish fires and the amount of water used.
C. After use of the IFEX Impulse Gun and Trolley
1.
Close the water valve, and empty the water chamber.
2.
Close the air pressure cylinder valve.
3.
Empty the gun by pulling the trigger repeatedly, until the remaining air has left the hoses
and the gun.
4.
Open the drain valve at the trolley to reduce the air pressure.
5.
Refill the water cylinder with fire extinguishing agent as per Para 7.2 and the air pressure
cylinder as per Para 7.3 of the filling instructions.
