🔍 Key Concepts

• Maintenance requirements for portable fire extinguishers under 46 CFR (inspection vs. servicing) • Differences between stored-pressure and cartridge‑operated dry chemical extinguishers • What must be checked internally versus externally on a cartridge‑operated extinguisher

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: on a cartridge‑operated unit, where is the propellant gas stored, and what does that mean you must verify during servicing? • Which choice focuses on the condition and quantity of the extinguishing agent (the powder) rather than on pressure gauges or minor weight differences? • Think about which items would normally be checked on a stored‑pressure extinguisher instead of a cartridge‑operated extinguisher.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which types of extinguishers actually have a pressure gauge as part of their normal check • Check which item directly confirms that the extinguishing agent is present in the correct amount and usable condition • Make sure the option you pick specifically mentions what a crew member can reasonably inspect during periodic servicing of a cartridge‑operated dry chemical extinguisher
