It is important to always use clean containers and

Fuel should be allowed to stand at least 24 hours

Atlas-Copco Wagner does not recommend the
storage of tires out of doors. Where this is neces-

tires should be protected from the elements by
an opaque waterproof covering. Such tires
should be inspected before mounting to be sure
they are clean, dry, and free of foreign objects.

System Components
The manually activated fire suppression system
consists of:
• Actuator
• Pneumatic Actuator/Cartridge Receiver
3
• Expellant Gas Cartridge
• Dry Chemical Tank
• Nozzles
Actuator 1. Pneumatic Actuator Cartridge Receiver
2. Safety Relief Valve
3. Expellant Gas Cartridge
Once the released pressure from the actuator
reaches the cartridge receiver, a seal in the expel-
lant gas cartridge is pierced by system pressure,
and this gas is then transmitted to the dry chemi-
cal tank.
A safety relief valve prevents excess actuation
pressure from building up in the cartridge
receiver.
The actuator contains a sealed pressure cartridge
which, when activated by removing the ring pin
Dry Chemical Tank • Make sure all oil and hydraulic fluid lines are
in good condition. Replace defective or worn
lines immediately.
• Make sure all oil and hydraulic line fittings
are properly tightened. Keep the fittings
clean.
• Check that the brake systems are properly
adjusted.
• Check that no oil or hydraulic fluid lines are
in contact with possible ignition points (or
hot spots).
• Keep the vehicle clean. Remove all combus-
tible debris.
