then tilt the boiler forwards from its back onto its base and remove carton by sliding up over
the boiler. When lifting this appliance the back should be kept straight at all times. Avoid

Before hanging the appliance on the wall it is best to store the appliance laid on its back with
the casing on. When ready to hang the boiler on the wall remove the casing and place to one
side. At this stage it is assumed that the wall bracket is correctly positioned and secured on
the wall face.
a)
Have the wall bracket nut and washers to hand so that they can be accessed whilst
holding the boiler in position on its mounting bracket.
b)
The boiler has a dry weight of 35 kg (77 lbs) and will therefore require at least two people
to lift without the use of lifting aids - ensure co-ordinated movements durring lift. Always
use assistance if required.
c)
Lift the boiler by gripping at the four corners of the boiler back plate. When lifting this
appliance the back should be kept straight at all times. Avoid twisting at the waist -
reposition the feet instead. Avoid upper body bending when holding the appliance and
keep the boiler as close to the body as possible.
d)
Lift the boiler and locate onto the stud and the two pegs of the wall mounting bracket.
e)
Place the wall mounting bracket washers over the bracket stud protruding through the
back plate of the boiler.
f)
Secure the boiler onto the wall bracket by fixing the wall mounting bracket nut onto the
wall bracket stud. This must be tightened well.
Safety footwear and gloves are recommended PPE when lifting this appliance - to protect
against sharp edges and ensure good grip.
The Qudos 28h and Qudos 28hP boilers can be fitted in compartments with very small
clearances required around the appliance (refer to Section 3.1). Due consideration should
therefore be given to access within the compartment for lifting and positioning.
