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.

WARNING

Do not use this extinguisher on Class C fires involving energized

electrical equipment, Class D fires or any flammables that will react

with water. Protect from freezing unless charged with an Amerex

Model 506 Loaded Stream/Anti-freeze Charge.
