🔍 Key Concepts

• CO2 portable extinguisher maintenance requirements • Difference between a condition check and an operational test • Why CO2 extinguishers usually do NOT have a pressure gauge

💭 Think About

• Which method gives you an accurate indication that the extinguisher still contains the correct amount of CO2? • Look at each choice: which ones could accidentally discharge or damage the extinguisher, and which ones are simple checks? • If a CO2 extinguisher normally has no gauge, which options are automatically less likely to be the standard annual check?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which action is used as the standard annual inspection method for CO2 extinguishers on vessels • Consider which method the crew can perform without special equipment and without partially emptying the extinguisher • Eliminate any option that would intentionally waste CO2 on every annual check
