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.
