Installer

Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling

 

The lifting weight of this appliance is 16.86 kg. One person should be sufficient to lift
the fire. If for any reason this weight is considered too heavy then obtain assistance.

 

When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.

 

Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.

 

Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst
handling the fire.

 

Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.

 

Always keep the fire as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.

 

Use gloves to provide additional grip.

 

Always use assistance if required.
