INSTALLATION
2.1 Receiving The Unit
Each
Centurion Water Heater is shipped as a single, crated unit. The shipping weight for the
Centurion is approximately 1,850 lbs. (839 kg).
The unit must be moved with proper rigging equipment for safety and to avoid damage. The unit

While in shipping container, the unit must be moved by jack or forklift from the front only.
NOTE:
PVI is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. Each unit has A Tip-N-Tell
indicator on the outside of the crate, which indicates if the unit has been turned on its side
during shipment. If the Tip-N-Tell indicator is tripped, do not sign for the shipment. Note the
information on the carrie
r’s paperwork and request a freight claim and inspection by a claims
adjuster before proceeding. Any other visual damage to the packaging materials should also
be made clear to the delivering carrier.

Carefully unpack the unit taking care not to damage the unit enclosure when cutting away
packaging materials
After unpacking, make a close inspection of the unit to ensure that there is no evidence of
