Inpection of Shipment
Before proceeding with the heater installation,
inspect thoroughly for shipping damage. Notify the
shipper immediately if any damage is found. Check
all ceramic insulators for breakage and inspect
heater element wire to see that none have been
deformed. Clean all dirt, dust and moisture from
equipment. Check for proper clearances of live
parts, between phases, and to ground. Make sure
that all required barriers are in place. Check
conductors run in multiple to ensure that they are
properly wired. Refer to base installation
instructions for complete unit installation details.
WARNING
- When installing in a garage, the elements
must be at least 18" above the floor.
- If this appliance is installed in an enclosed
area such as a garage or utility room with
any carbon monoxide (CO) producing
appliance (i.e. Automobile, Furnace,
Water-Heater etc.), ensure the area is
properly ventilated.
- A means of strain relief and conductor
protection must be provided at the supply
wire entrance.
Attention Installing Personnel
As a professional installer, you have an obligation
to know the product better than the customer. This
includes all safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize
yourself with the Instruction Manual. Pay close
attention to all safety warnings. Often during
installation or repair, it is possible to place yourself
in a position which is more hazardous than when
the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is Your responsibility to install the
product safely and to know it well enough to be able
to instruct a customer on its safe use.
Safety is a matter of thinking before acting. Most
dealers have a list of specific good safety practices
... follow them.
The precautions listed in this installation manual are
intended as supplemental to existing practices.
However, if there is a direct conflict between
existing practices and the content of this manual,
the precautions listed here are to take precedence.
WARNING
Reminder: If these instructions and/or
codes are not followed or if the equipment
is not properly installed, possible injury or
death could occur during installation or
operation.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
DANGER
PELIGRO
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such
as automobile, space heater, gas water
heater, etc.) should not be operated in
enclosed areas such as unventilated
garages, utility rooms or parking areas
because of the danger of carbon monoxide
(CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust
emissions. If a furnace or air handler is
installed in an enclosed area such as a
garage, utility room or parking area and a
carbon monoxide producing device is
operated therein, there must be adequate,
direct outside ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the
danger of CO poisoning which can occur if a
carbon monoxide producing device
continues to operate in the enclosed area.
Carbon monoxide emissions can be
(re)circulated throughout the structure if the
furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including
permanent brain damage or death.
Special Warning for Installation of Furnaces
or Air Handling Units in Enclosed Areas
such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking
Areas.
