REMOVE CRATE
1. Remove all banding and pry off crate sides carefully so as not to damage the water heater.
2. Carefully roll/lift the water heater from the crate base.
CAUTION
Do not drop water heater. Do not bump water heater jacket against floor.
Do not bump exhaust vent pipe against crate or other objects. This will damage the heater and cause it
to be inoperable or create nuisance problems.
MOVE WATER HEATER TO PERMANENT POSITION by sliding or walking. Place drain pan underneath
water heater
INSTALL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (if not already installed).
WARNING
Temperature and pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped near floor to eliminate potential
of severe burns . Do not pipe in any area where freezing could occur. Do not install any shut-off
valves, plugs or caps to the temperature and pressure relief valve or piping.
CAUTION
If building cold water supply has a back-flow preventer, check valve or water meter with check valve,
provisions for thermal expansion of water in the hot water system must be provided.
DANGER
Temperature setting should not exceed safe temperature at fixtures. See water temperature control
warning on page 16. If higher preheat temperatures are necessary to obtain adequate booster output,
add an anti-scald valve for hot water supplied to fixtures.
LOCATION
KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
This water heater must be located in an area where the general public does not have access to set temperatures.
AIR REQUIREMENTS
1. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air.
2. For safe operation, adequate air is needed for combustion and ventilation. Sooting may result in serious
damage to the water heater and risk of fire or explosion. It can also create a risk of asphyxiation. Such a
condition often will result in a yellow, luminous burner flame, causing carboning or sooting of the
combustion chamber, burner and flue tubes.
