CARBON DIOXIDE HAND PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Model 320/321—2 1/2 LB

Model 322—5 LB Model 331—15 LB

Model 330—10 LB Model 332—20 LB

All fire extinguishers should be installed, inspected and maintained in accordance

with the National Fire Protection Association standard titled "Portable Fire Extin-

guishers", NFPA-10 , or The National Fire Code of Canada 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 mainte-

nance – USE OF SUBSTITUTE PARTS RELEASES AMEREX OF ITS WARRANTY

OBLIGATIONS. Amerex parts have machined surfaces and threads that are manu-

factured 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.

RECHARGE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANY USE
