Amerex HALOTRON BRX 337 Owner's Maintenance Manual

All fire extinguishers should be installed, inspected and maintained in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association standard titled "Portable Fire Extinguishers", 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 ensure proper maintenance – USE OF
SUBSTITUTE PARTS
machined surfaces and threads which are manufactured to exacting tolerances. All parts meet precise
specifications and are subjected to multiple in-house inspections and tests for acceptability. There are
substitute parts available which are incorrectly labeled as U/L component parts, some are advertised as
Amerex type. None of these meet U/L requirements. Use of substitute parts voids the Amerex extinguisher
warranty and U/L listing. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.
