included in this manual. 
Note: See section 1, page 3, Illustration A & B 
for component locations. 
a) Daily
Maintenance
1. Visually inspecting the red fire suppression
control head assembly, for set mode display 
and pressure gauge to make sure the system 
pressure is within proper range. 
2. Visually inspecting the system detection
lines to make sure that the fusible links are 
operational. 
3. Inspecting all nozzles, keeping them free
from grease and assuring that all blow-off 
covers are in place. 
4. Determining that easy access to the manual
pull station can be made for manual 
activation. 
5. Assuring that good housekeeping practices
have been maintained to eliminate potential 
fire hazards. 
6. Visually inspect the fire damper and fusible
link for damage and operational readiness.
At this time, it is also good practice to visually 
inspect all premises hand portable fire 
extinguishers to verify good working condition. 
b) Regular
System
Maintenance
To ensure the proper operation of the system, 
regular inspection and maintenance must be 
performed by certified personnel and on a semi-
annual basis, and after every periodic hood and 
duct cleaning (whichever occurs more

The authorized distributor must be consulted 
after the system is discharged. 
 For six (6) month maintenance, annual 
maintenance and hydrostatic testing see the Pyro-

piping is not obstructed.
3. Where semiannual maintenance of any wet
fire suppression cylinder or system 
components reveals conditions such as, but 
not limited to, corrosion or pitting, structural 
damage or fire damage; or repairs by 
soldering, welding, or brazing; the affected 
part(s) shall be replaced or hydrostatically 
tested in accordance with the 
recommendations of the manufacturer. The 
hydrostatic testing of wet chemical 
containers shall follow the applicable 
procedures as outlined below. 
4. The wet fire suppression systems shall be
