To provide maximum assurance that your Ansul A-101 system will operate effectively ang safely: 1, Note the general appearance of the dry chemical tank for mechanical damage or corrosion. 2, Check nameplate for readability, looseness, 3, Remove fill cap. 4, Examine fill cap gaskets for elasticity — clean and coat lightly'with a good grade of high heat resistant grease. 5. Inspect threads on fit! cap and in fill opening for nicks. burrs, cross-threading, rough or feathered edges. 6. Check pressure relief vent in fil opening threads for obstruction 7. Make certain tank is filled with free-flowing Ansul FORAY dry chemical to a level of not more than 3 inches from bottom of fill opening, 8. Secure fill cap, hand tighten. 9. Disengage bursting disc union. 10, Examine the bursting disc. if necessary, move the tank slightly to view disc. The bursting disc should be properly seated with the washer side facing out (smooth side in) and should be undamaged (smooth, ot scored or ruptured). 11. Engage bursting disc union (wrench tighten). CAUTION: Overtightening can damage bursting disc. 12, Loosen the bolt(s) which restrain the cartridge or remove extinguisher cartridge guard assembly. 13. Ingpect the expellant gas cartridge assembly tor evidence of mechanical damage or corrosion. 14, Unscrew the cartridge from the pneumatic actuator! cartridge receiver and weigh it. Replace If its weight is not within 1/2 ounce of the weight stamped on the cartridge. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. a 22, 2. 24. MAINTENANCE 415-79 Page12 Inspect threads on cartridge and in pneumatic actuator/cartridge receiver for nicks, burrs, cross threading, rough or feathered edges. Check pressure vent in pneumatic actuator! cartridge receiver for obstruction Examine cartridge receiver gasket for elasticity. Clean and coat lightly with a good grade of high heat resistant grease. Return cartridge pneumatic actu- atoricartridge receiver, hand tighten. Tighten the bracket bolts) uniformly or return cartridge guard asembly. Be sure the dry chemical tank is flrmly mounted in its bracket. Check nose, fittings and nozzles for mechanical damage, Check nozzle openings — slot should be closed (capped) with silicone grease or covered with plastic blow-off cap. Check remote actuator — Remove cartridge and weigh (replace if weight is 1/4 ounce less than stamped on cartridge). Inspect threads on canridge and in actuator for nicks, burrs, cross-threading, fough or feathered edges. Check pressure safety vent in actuator boay for obstruction. Examine actuator cartridge gasket for elasticity — clean and coat lightly with a good grade of high heat resistant grease. Pull ring pin and operate actuator button ‘Several times to check for free movement. Seal ring pin to puncture lever with lead and wire seal. Return cartridge to remote actuator, hand tighten’ Record date of maintenance.MAINTENANCE 445-73 Page 13 MAINTENANCE — SEMI-ANNUAL EXAMINATION LT-A-to1 SYSTEM ‘A-101 SYSTEM FIGURE 28 Numbers are keyed to maintenance instructions.
