Install the cylinder in a dry, permanently
frost-free room.
Caution.
Material damage due to escaping water
In the event of damage, water may escape
from the cylinder.
▶
Select the installation location so that, in
the event of damage, large volumes of
water can be drained safely (e.g. into a
floor drain).
Caution.
Material damage due to high load
When filled, the cylinder may damage the
ground on which it stands due to its weight.
▶
Take into consideration the weight of the
filled cylinder and the load-bearing capa-
city of the floor.
▶
If required, reinforce the installation area.
Select a sensible installation site and take into consideration
the routing of the pipework system.
