3.1 Corrosive Chemicals
Addison cannot be responsible for ensuring that all
appropriate safety measures are undertaken prior to
installation; this is entirely the responsibility of the installer.
It is essential that the contractor, the subcontractor, or the
owner identifies the presence of combustible materials,
corrosive chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons*
anywhere in the premises.
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Do not use equipment in area
containing corrosive materials.
Refer to appropriate Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in product damage.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons
are a family of chemical compounds
characterized by the presence of halogen elements (fluorine,
chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are frequently used in
refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds
enter the air supply of the burner, the life span of the unit
components will be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must
be provided to the burners whenever the presence of these
compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if the unit is
exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
3.2 Required Equipment and Materials
When lifting of the unit is required, the installing
contractor is responsible for supplying or arranging for
the appropriate lifting equipment so that the unit may be
placed in a safe manner.
The qualified installing / service technician is responsible
for having the appropriate equipment and materials for the
safe installation and start-up of an unit. Tools and materials
required to commission the unit include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• Various screwdriver types and sizes
• Various wrench types and sizes
• Drill motor and various drill bits
• Voltmeter
• Clamp style ammeter
