CHAPTER 1.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
Installers and operating personnel MUST, at all times, observe all safety regulations. The
following warnings and cautions are general and must be given the same attention as specific
precautions included in these instructions. In addition to all the requirements included in this
AERCO Instruction Manual, the installation of units MUST conform with local building codes, or,
in the absence of local codes, ANSI Z223.1 (National Fuel Gas Code Publication No. NFPA-54)
for gas-fired heaters and ANSI/NFPASB for LP gas-fired heaters. Where applicable, the
equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current Installation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment, CSA B149.1, and applicable Provincial regulations for the class;
which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be
consulted before installations are made.
See Section 1.4, below, for information on installations within the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
IMPORTANT!
This Instruction Manual is an integral part of the product and must be maintained in legible
condition. It must be given to the user by the installer and kept in a safe place for future
reference.
IMPORTANT!
Read the following restrictions prior to installing the water heater:
1. The water heater can only be used for applications where the chlorine concentrations
do
not exceed
4 mg/L
, which is the Environmental Protection Agency limit for chlorine
concentrations in drinking water.
2. Do Not use this heater for a pool heating application.
WARNINGS!
•
Do not use matches, candles, flames, or other sources of ignition to check for gas leaks.
•
Fluids under pressure may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment when
released. Be sure to shut off all incoming and outgoing water shutoff valves and carefully
decrease all trapped pressures to zero before performing maintenance.
•
ELECTRICAL CURRENT OF 110 (OR 220 VOLTS FOR INTERNATIONAL MODELS)
AND 24 VOLTS AC MAY BE USED IN THIS EQUIPMENT.
The unit’s power box cover
(located behind the front panel door) must therefore be installed at all times, except
during maintenance and servicing.
•
A switch must be installed on the electrical supply line of the unit, in an easily accessible
position to quickly and safely disconnect electrical service. Do not affix switch to unit
sheet metal enclosures.
