SWIFGO 4.5kg CO₂ Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher

The SWIFGO 4.5kg CO₂ Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher is a portable fire safety unit designed for controlling fires involving flammable liquids and energised electrical equipment during their early stages. Carbon dioxide extinguishes fire without releasing powder, foam or water, making this extinguisher particularly suitable for areas containing sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

Its 4.5kg capacity provides greater extinguishing performance than smaller CO₂ models while remaining portable for trained users. The extinguisher is equipped with a flexible discharge hose, a large directional horn, an operating lever, a safety pin and a tamper seal for secure storage and controlled emergency operation.

CO₂ extinguishers leave no powder or liquid residue after discharge. This helps minimise secondary damage and reduces the cleaning required around computers, electrical panels, machinery and other valuable equipment.

Suitable Fire Risks

The extinguisher is suitable for:

Flammable-liquid fires involving petrol, diesel, paint, solvents and similar liquids
Fires involving energised electrical equipment
Electrical control panels and switchgear
Computers, servers and communication equipment
UPS systems, printers and office electronics
Selected machinery and equipment where a residue-free extinguishing agent is preferred

CO₂ extinguishers are widely used around electrical equipment and Class B flammable-liquid risks.

Operating Guidance

When the fire is small and can still be approached safely:

Raise the alarm and make sure there is a clear escape route behind you.
Remove the safety pin.
Hold the discharge horn using its insulated grip.
Direct the horn toward the base of the fire.
Squeeze the operating lever to release the carbon dioxide.
Apply the CO₂ using a controlled sweeping motion.
Monitor the area because the fire may reignite after the gas disperses.

The extinguisher should only be used when the operator has a safe escape route. Evacuate immediately when the fire is spreading, producing heavy smoke or cannot be controlled safely.

Important Safety Information

The discharge horn and nearby components can become extremely cold during operation. The horn should only be handled using the insulated grip provided.

CO₂ can displace oxygen, creating a breathing hazard when discharged in a small or poorly ventilated room. The area should be evacuated and properly ventilated after use.

This extinguisher should not be used as the primary extinguisher for:

Wood, paper, textiles and other deep-seated solid-material fires
Cooking-oil and deep-fat fryer fires
Combustible-metal fires
Fires in confined spaces where occupants cannot evacuate safely
Any fire that has already grown beyond the safe capability of a portable extinguisher

CO₂ provides limited cooling, so solid combustible materials and hot flammable liquids may reignite after the gas disperses.

Installation and Placement

The extinguisher should be installed in a clearly visible, properly marked and unobstructed location near the identified electrical or flammable-liquid risk. Suitable positions include server-room entrances, electrical-panel areas, workshops, laboratories and designated fire points.

It should be secured using a suitable wall bracket or placed on an approved extinguisher stand. The discharge hose and horn must remain accessible and should not be obstructed by furniture, stored goods or machinery.

Inspection and Maintenance

Regular inspection is necessary to ensure that the extinguisher remains ready for emergency use. Routine checks should include:

Confirming that the safety pin and tamper seal remain intact
Checking the cylinder for corrosion, dents or other damage
Inspecting the hose for cracks, cuts or deterioration
Ensuring the discharge horn is secure and unobstructed
Checking the operating lever and valve assembly
Confirming that the extinguisher remains accessible
Checking the unit’s weight according to the servicing schedule
Looking for evidence of leakage, previous use or tampering

CO₂ extinguishers should be professionally weighed, inspected and serviced according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable fire safety requirements. After any discharge, including partial use, the extinguisher must be professionally inspected and refilled before being returned to service.
