To operate, pull the pin and squeeze the lever and a 45 foot stream is immediately projected. Both of the above extinguishers can be used on the outside areas as they will not freeze. The cartridge anti-freeze extinguisher is also used by gently bumping the top on the floor thereby throwing a 45 foot stream where needed.
