AMEREX MODEL 571/B571

30 POUND CLASS D

STORED PRESSURE FIRE EXTINGUISHER

COPPER DRY POWDER FOR

LITHIUM AND LITHIUM ALLOY COMBUSTIBLE METAL FIRES

RECHARGE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANY USE

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 insure 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 are 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.
