3.10.2 Transporting an AMR Water Heater
For an AM water heater with the rapid recovery option, the buffer tank is shipped separately
from the main unit and must be assembled after main unit installation. The buffer tank should
only be assembled to the unit
after
the water heater has been transported, located, positioned
and
installed in its
final operating position
. Transport the main unit (without buffer tank
installed) as described below:
