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, horns 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 are incorrectly labeled as UL
component parts, some are advertised as Amerex type. None of
these meet UL requirements and all of them void the Amerex
extinguisher warranty and UL
listing. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.
RECHARGE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANY USE
