Before Servicing a Solar water heater  
 

 

Working  on  roofs  should  always  be  considered  a  hazardous  activity, 
particularly early in the morning, late in the evening or after periods of rain. 

 

Safety precautions pertaining to working on roofs are outlined in the Work 
Cover  Code  of  Practice  “Safe  work  on  roofs”  Part  1  and  2  and  in  the 
Occupational Health and Safety Act 1983.

 

 

 

 

Water  under  pressure  and  at  temperatures  up  to  150ºC  may  be  present  in 
the collector/s. Isolate water supply and relieve pressure through a hot tap 
or the temperature and pressure relief valve prior to opening the collector 
pipe work. Wear protective clothing to prevent scalding or burns.

 

 

 

 

Certain  diagnostic  procedures  outlined  in  these  service  instructions 
require “live” testing to be conducted. Caution should always be exercised 
when conducting these tests to prevent the risk of electric shock.
