AMPAC Safety Pty Ltd does not service, maintain or recharge
fire extinguishers. This service and maintenance information is a
guide to assist qualified service personnel in the inspection and
maintenance of AMPAC Safety FlameSAFE fire extinguishers
only. It is important that all warnings and notes on the fire

the void of any warranty covering the equipment.
