Which action initiates discharge on the H2O extinguisher?

Explanation:
Discharging a water-based extinguisher happens when you depress the discharge lever. That lever acts as the valve control; squeezing it downward opens the valve and allows pressurized water to flow through the nozzle, producing the extinguishing stream. Turning a handle wouldn’t activate the valve on this unit, and this model typically doesn’t require pulling a pin first or pressing a separate button. So the action that starts the discharge is squeezing the lever downward.
