Pressure Guage

Locate the pressure gauge at the top of the cylinder.
Is the pressure gauge pointed within the optimal green range?
For a quick fix: Sometimes, the pressure gauge is in the red because of the chemical having settled down in the cylinder. Try fixing this by removing the fire extinguisher from its bracket/container, carefully turn it upside down twice, and shake it well. Check if the gauge indicator goes back to green.

Physical

Is the cylinder tank and all external metal parts free of corrosion, dents or other signs of damage?
Is the sticker/label on the cylinder readable?
Is the hose free of cracks or other signs of damage?
Have a look at the inside of the nozzle. Does it show any leak?
Is the seal and pin present and intact? (The seal’s material can be plastic or metal)
The seal is the tag around the handle holding the pin in place.
