Kurt,
 If the extinguisher is on a vehicle, once a week is recommended. If
not, turn
 it once a month. When you turn it, tap the sides so you loosen the
powder. You
 can feel the weight shift when the powder is loose.Don't forget to
check that
 the pin is hooked & the seal is in place, & make sure the gauge shows
that the
 extinguisher is fully charged. You also want to make sure that there is
no
 foreign objects in the discharge nozzle by visually checking the same.
