7.0 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The Chimney Snuffer is designed and manufactured to be damage resistant and require minimal maintenance. However, as the
primary fi re fi ghting tool upon which your life depends, it should be treated accordingly.
Nozzle must be inspected before each use for proper operation and function according to this checklist:
• None of the nozzle jets are clogged
• There is no obvious damage such as missing, broken or loose parts, etc
• The coupling is tight and leak free
• The valve operates smoothly and shuts off water fl ow completely
CAUTION
Before each use the Chimney Snuffer must be inspected for proper operation and function
according to inspection criteria above. Any nozzle that fails inspection is dangerous to use
and must be repaired before using. Operating a nozzle that fails any part of the inspection is
a misuse of this equipment.
CAUTION
Performance tests shall be conducted on the Chimney Snuffer after a repair, or anytime a
problem is reported to verify operation in accordance with Task Force Tips test procedures.
Consult factory for the procedure that corresponds to the model of the nozzle. Any
equipment which fails the related test criteria should be removed from service immediately.
