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 as below: -

Model

Weight (kG)

Quantum

10.0 

Urban

10.0 

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.
