KEY FEATURES OF THE RUSOH® ELIMINATOR® FIRE EXTINGUISHER • Factory sealed, loaded, and ready for use. • Self service fire extinguisher. Patented Rusoh™ fluffing wheel (Fig. A) enables the user to stir or “fluff” the dry chemical agent with ease. This assures that the chemical is in a free-flowing state for maximum efficiency during discharge in the event of fire. • Non-pressurized extinguisher. Won’t leak pressure over time, resulting in a more reliable alternative for fire defense.
PAGE 3
DISCHARGE HEAD The discharge head (Fig. B) is factory sealed to the agent cartridge; houses the CO2 cartridge; provides the means to carry the extinguisher and to puncture the CO2 cartridge; and, when pressurized, routes the extinguishing agent to the hose. The lock (Fig. C1) on the discharge head prevents inadvertent puncturing of the CO2 cartridge. To pressurize the unit, twist the lock in either direction to a vertical position until the yellow tamper seal (Fig. C2) breaks and falls off.
