2.2 INSTALLATION
2.0 INSTALLATION
HANDLING
When lifting the unit work with someone of similar build
and height if possible.
Choose one person to call the signals.
Lift from the hips at the same time, then raise the unit to
the desired level.
Move smoothly in unison.
Preparation/placing the appliance in
position.
Details of the recommended positions for
termination of the first fix pipework are provided
in section 1.2 Technical Data. The pipework can
be located or its position checked using the
template provided with each appliance. If these
have been followed installation is very simple
and much quicker than any other system.
The appliance is supplied shrink wrapped and
carrying handles are provided in the back of the
casing.
The expansion vessel complete with inlet pipe
and air vent are provided in a separate box. If
flexible connections have been ordered these will
be supplied in the same box as the expansion
vessel.
The appliance should be handled carefully to
avoid damage and the recommended method
for the EM170 model is shown opposite.
Whenever it is possible it is recommended that
the EM270 is moved using a suitable sack type
truck on the rear face.
Before installation the site requirements should
be checked and confirmed as acceptable. The
bottom part of the plastic cover /protective
wrapping should be removed and the appliance
placed in position.
Remove the front panel by loosening the
retaining screws 3-4 turns and lifting the panel
up and out using the keyholes provided. Pull the
pipe cover off (see opposite) ready for connection
of the pipework and electrical supplies. Ensure
both panels are replaced on completion and the
retaining screws are tightened to secure the main
panel back in position.
The expansion vessel shall be installed using the
supports provided. Ensure access is provided for
maintenance.
Note: Although the above guidance is provided
any manual handling/lifting operations will need
to comply with the requirements of the Manual
Handling Operations Regulations issued by the
H.S.E.
The appliance can be moved using a sack truck
on the rear face although care should be taken
and the route should be even.
In apartment buildings containing a number of
storeys we would recommend that the appliances
are moved vertically in a mechanical lift.
If it is proposed to use a crane expert advice
should be obtained regarding the need for slings,
lifting beams etc.
