Amerex 05616 - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
The Amerex High Performance, stored pressure 13.2 (6kg), 20 lb. (9 kg) and 30 lb. (13.6 kg)
dry chemical fire extinguishers have been designed and manufactured to accommodate the
rigorous needs of environmental extremes and heavy industrial use. The finest materials,
workmanship and finishes have been utilized, backed by several years of development and
field testing to insure many years to trouble free fire protection.
These extinguishers operate at a 240 psi (1655 kPa) pressure and are intended for use by
trained fire fighters. The higher discharge velocity and superior range necessary for quick
extinguishment of many industrial fire hazards dictates formal training for development of
proper fire fighting techniques and a feel for the most effective use of the extinguisher.
All sizes feature a large, durable stainless steel operating lever and carrying handle, large
brass, chrome plated operating valve, large pressure gauge with gauge guard, molded
performance discharge hose and the Amerex "Ultra" corrosion resistant paint finish over a
"galvanized" cylinder. The stored pressure design allows easy upright, squeeze grip operation,
assures a constant, instant state of readiness, and minimizes operating parts and cuts down on
maintenance costs. Amerex is confident in the superior features of these products and have
extended our warranty to 12 years to prove it.
