GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 Safety Considerations
Follow these
WARNINGS
and
CAUTIONS
at all times. Failure to follow these instructions can
cause property damage, personal injury, exposure to hazardous materials or death.
•
Initial startup of all Lync units must be performed by factory-trained personnel so as not to
void the warranty.
•
Installers and operating personnel must observe all applicable safety regulations.
•
In addition to these requirements, installation must conform with local building codes as well
as, where applicable, the current Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and
Equipment, CSA B149.1, and applicable Provincial regulations. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before installation.
CAUTION:
All initial installation procedures must be satisfied before attempting to start the unit.
W A R N I N G :
DO NOT
dry-fire the unit. Starting the unit without a full water level can seriously damage the
unit, may result in personnel injury or property damage, and will void all warranties.
DO NOT
store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids near this or any appliance.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light appliance. Do not touch any electric switch; do not use
any phone in your building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a location away from your
building and the smell of gas. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. If you cannot reach your
gas supplier, call the fire department.
IN AN EMERGENCY:
Shut the main gas supply valve to the appliance from a location safely
away from the emergency.
