INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND
RECHARGE SERVICE MANUAL
P/N 16303
All fire extinguishers should be installed, inspected and maintained
in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association standard
titled "Portable Fire Extinguishers", NFPA-10 and the requirements
of local authorities having jurisdiction.
When maintenance is indicated, it should be performed by trained
persons having proper equipment. Fire extinguishers are pressure
vessels and must be treated with respect and handled with care.
They are mechanical devices and require periodic maintenance to
be sure that they are ready to operate properly and safely. Amerex
strongly recommends that the maintenance of portable fire
extinguishers be done by a trained professional
– your local
authorized Amerex Distributor.
Amerex Corporation makes original factory parts available to insure
proper maintenance
– USE OF SUBSTITUTE PARTS RELEASES
AMEREX OF ITS WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS. Amerex parts have
machined surfaces and threads that are manufactured to exacting
tolerances. O-rings, hoses, nozzles, and all metal parts meet
precise specifications and are subjected to multiple in-house
inspections and tests for acceptability. There are substitute parts
available that may be incorrectly labeled as UL component parts,
some are advertised as Amerex type. None of these meet UL
requirements and all of them voids the Amerex extinguisher
warranty and UL listing. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.
