Limits and cautions

Secure it in its transport bracket where the vehicle maker permits. Check the gauge and follow its service and replacement instructions.
Leaving comes first. Get everyone out and well clear, then call 112. Do not return for the extinguisher.
Never open a burning bonnet or enter smoke. Do not tackle an electric vehicle battery fire.
Never tackle a fire bigger than a waste bin. Use an extinguisher only if trained, with a clear escape route.
The EN 3 and approval claims come from B&Q. We found no separate public certificate for this exact PS1X model.
