This product may contain strong magnets which can be harmful to pacemaker wearers and
others with medical implants. Those with implanted medical devices must stay back 36 in
(90 cm). Keep tools and other loose metal objects away. The magnets in this product are
strong enough to pull them from your hand or can cause a loss of balance. To avoid
damage, keep magnetic media such as computer discs, credit cards, and tapes away.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury, death, and/or
property damage.
WARNING:
Do not operate the unit in an area where explosive gases are present.
WARNING:
The heating of water and other fluids causes volumetric expansion. The associated forces
can cause the failure of system components and the release of high-temperature fluids. In
order to prevent this, install properly sized and located compression tanks and pressure-
relief valves. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or
death, or property damage.

This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead, which is known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more

the lines, and allow the system to reach a safe handling temperature (below 100°F [38°C])
and zero pressure condition. Use proper safety equipment including gloves, goggles, or
similar tools to avoid contact with system fluids and common hazards. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in personal injury and property damage.
